Where do you think we get our banter skills from anyway? No wonder yanks have such a poor sense of humour, you're not allowed to do anything other than work

Also daily reminder productivity in the US is FAR below Western Europe

>>85530328

I think it's mostly that they don't suck each other off themselves like Americans do when it comes to labor. Americans love talking about how much they work, how little time they have to spend with their families, how taxing the job is on their bodies. As a casual observer it feels like a completely different world.

Maybe that's one of the reasons Americans don't live quite as long? It's got to at least be a factor, right?

>>85530460
I'm British and you make me feel sick

>where do you think we got our banter from

This is why the nips are our true greatest ally. No one will ever understand America like the country we bombed and then rebuilt from nothing

14 hour days are standard when you make a movie. That's why the U.S. film industry is heavily unionized for fair wages.

>>85530460
Productivity of what? America is a technology/product based economy. What is western Europe "out producing" us on?

>14 hour shifts

is this on alternating days or something? I can't imagine having to work 12+ hours for more than a few days straight

You're working crap jobs then. I do G&E work with friends in local 728 and 80, and while the union offers rates for hourly, daily (8hrs), and weekly (40hrs), any reasonable commercial comp or narrative is gonna be based on a 12 on 12 off schedule. Anything beyond that and it gets into OT/Second Meal and production doesn't really want to deal with that.

Some Post houses work on a 12 hour day, but most are 10. No idea what pre-pro works, probably 8 hour days, the affluent bastards.

Low stamina sure, but they can hold a camera and point it at whatever James Cameron wants. British people have been known to make movies historically speaking, so it should be possible at least.
Americans only recently have the concept of work/life balance, since the protestant work ethic told them that they should work all of the time, or they would go to hell.

>>85531777
Beer industry seems pretty cool. I complain but there's no way in hell I'd ever want to move back east. LA is the best city in the world as far as I'm concerned.

>>85530328
>Kinda of shows how weak and low stamina British people are.

That's why Hollywood is filled with british actors, directors, writers, cinematographers and composers that regularly outperform their american counterparts, because they're "weak" and "low stamina".

>>85530876

See, the thing is, the Brits don't make movies that way. They work normal working days.

>>85531525
>needing the government to write your contracts for you
Why is the rest of the world so shit at negotiating employment?

>>85531552

Film is an art that got corrupted and turned into a business by Jews.

There's still a lot of directors, and actors, that treat it like an art, and are willing to commit the time it takes to do the job right, regardless if it means filming all day and night. Sadly, they are forced to work with union scum that don't give a shit about the project and are just there for a paycheck.

>>85530203
I'll gladly take 14 hour shifts working on a great film. Sign me up.

>>85531772
Bro, you make me laugh.

>>85531968
Without unions they would be working 24/7, while mister Smecklestein counts the money they make for him.

yeah feel that. im from SF but cant afford to live there anymore.

moved here like 7 years ago and went straight into PA work. was getting consistent set and office PA work but after a couple years I got overwhelmed with it. the long days were a big factor and made me and my then live with gf have problems

so i quit and started a casual job in beer. do miss being on set though. even if it is fucking up a specific sandwich order from Lemonade and being yelled at by some cunt AD

>>85529529

Is there anyone in the world that's fond of 14-hour shifts? What the fuck, that's inhuman.

>>85532058
>Without unions they would be working 24/7

And?

How do you think Mr. Smecklestein has managed to eliminate competition and monopolize the industry? By employing UNIONS to harass the fuck out of anyone that doesn't use union labor, that's how. That's why there aren't more independent films, because it's harder to get the cash to pay union retards than it is to pay salary workers that will actually give a shit about their jobs.

>>85532100
you're right that was retarded of me to say, I take it back

Nice delusion. Unionized countries (like Norway) have the best worker welfare in the world, and unions stop mr shekelberg from doin whatever the fuck he wants. If it werent for unions, shitty immigrants would take every job by accepting low pay. Unions stop that from happening. In murrica however,you allhave to work slave wages and hours to afford rent for a 10m2 cupboard

>>85531115

there are plenty of productions that do 16+ hour days

it's easier to hide money in the budget in OT than in shooting days, so people are willing to do a 30 day schedule with insane OT instead of a 45 day schedule with 12 hours because it's the only way they can actually get production going

Careful Nigel, or you just might find out that you've got a little "yank" in you too.

Western Europe, as a whole place, is probably teetering under 75% right now. And that's being extremely generous.

>>85535524
And that's still much more than 56%

>>85535610
In a shorter span, starting from 100% homogeneity. Your rate of demographic decline is faster than ours, and the white majority in America has always been relative to the region being assessed. Violently deporting millions of mexicans and indians for 50-75 years without interruption produces a rolling 90% white 'majority', but without the sustained repatriation efforts the actual proportion of white people to injuns they might encounter from day to day over the course of their lifetime is not much more than a clear majority for the 20th century. Only the north eastern united states has witnessed the precipitous collapse of white demographics that Western Europe is currently experiencing across the board.

Americans have a long term survival pattern for this ethnic dynamic, but Europeans do not.
