BLERD AT THE MOVIES
Curiosity got the best of me, I'm afraid. Ezra Miller reprises their role as Barry Allen/The Flash, playing both the present and past versions of the iconic DC superhero, in this year's The Flash -- and, this time, they're joined by newcomer Sasha Calle, the second actress to bring Supergirl/Kara Zor-El to the big screen. (Warner Bros.-Discovery Pictures/DC Studios | 2023) AUTHOR'S NOTEThis post was written, edited, and published during the 2023 Writers' Guild of America (WGA) and Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) Strikes. Without the hard work of the writers and actors currently on strike, the works we all consume and, in the case of myself and various independent content creators/ influencers, covered on all of our platforms -- from social media to blog pages like this one -- would not exist. Although this blog is a one-human show and the reach I may (or may not) have on all my digital platforms, from this site to my Instagram page, is practically non-existent, I want to explicitly state my full support for the WGA and SAG-AFTRA in their fight for fair compensation, improved working conditions, and a safeguarded future against a system that continually exploits their labor and denies them the treatment they deserve.
While a full boycott has not been called by either union, SAG-AFTRA has requested that everyone who creates content about film and TV refrain from promoting struck content during this time. Out of respect for the union and solidarity with the industry workers on the picket line, I will begin ceasing coverage of new movies and TV shows on all my platforms, including this site. There are a few more pieces regarding media distributed from the studios in question that will be published, but it will take some time so please bear with me. I hope you respect and support this decision. As always, thank you for reading.
