ha, isnt it always the last offer? i mean, if it wasnt they would wait for the next!
its like finding your keys, theyre always in the last place you look!
It's just awkwardly worded. The SAG reported they've received an offer from the studio, in which they studio called "the last, best, and final" offer they're (sag) going to get.
It's blatantly untrue, though. If the actors don't accept it are the studios going to just close up shop? No. So it's absolutely not the final offer unless they accept it.
Agreed. It's just studio bravado. "THIS IS MY LAST, BEST, AND FINAL OFFER PARKER!" as Spiderman continues and JJJ keeps paying despite his previous outburst.
Yeah, it's just bullshit. They said the same thing during the writer's strike before making two more offers.
Not if you keep looking 🤔
That was a Jeff Foxworthy bit.
"Hey, Jeff, you find your wallet?"
"Yeah, but I'm still lookin' for it. Just in case we're livin' in a parallel universe."
you keep looking for things after you find them? i guess everyone needs a hobby
I've been known once or twice to find my keys (or phone, that wrench, etc.) get distracted immediately after, then go back to looking for thembecause that's what I remember doing before I got distracted while they're right there in my hand.
You could arguably say that I re-lost them and started a new search, but I think it's funnier to say I kept looking after it's been found.
It's called ADHD, I sometimes go looking for my phone while it's right in my hand.
I kept looking and going YOUR keys, too!
I will do it for $1m and this is my 4th to last offer. 😤
