Hollywood Strikes Stop Celebrities from Marketing Their Films

TheTrillest314 mins

A-list African American actress Tiffany Haddish was ready for an outstanding summer at the box office with the nationwide theatrical release of the movies “Back on the Strip” and “Landscape with Invisible Hand”.
Unfortunately, both of Haddish’s projects significantly underachieved in theaters, mainly because she couldn’t market the films.

This leading comedian, along with other Black creators in the field, nonetheless stayed faithfully committed to the extended labor disagreement between striking Hollywood workers and large studios.

“Back on the Strip” was put together by an all-Black team led by director Chris Spencer and backed by companies Lumonosity, GVN, and 5120 Entertainment. It opened on August 18 but failed to take off as its star-studded African American cast, including Haddish, Wesley Snipes, JB Smoove, Bill Bellamy, and Faizon Love, couldn’t advertise it due to the strike.

The film portrays the adventures of a team of “over-the-hill” black male exotic dancers who reconnect with their former selves when a gifted young star with an enormous… amount of talent joins their ranks.

Having been produced, financed, marketed, and distributed independently, “Back on the Strip” had a temporary accord with SAG/AFTRA to proceed with the film, but it still didn’t win over its cast, who will be financially affected by the film’s poor performance.

Black movie producers now face the challenge of reaching audiences using grassroots advertising efforts and focusing on women aged 35 and above with catchphrases like “Grab your girls!” and “Go big or go home!”

“Back on the Strip”, though, appeals to adults of all demographics, weaving a romantic tale into a male stripper reunion that some are calling Snipes’ triumphant return to the big screen.
A clever promotional strategy amid the continuing labor conflict managed to spark some excitement, but even a packed Laugh Factory in Hollywood in the days leading up to the premiere of “Back on the Strip,” with many cast members performing stand-up, failed to mention the film.

Haddish, at least, arrived at the comedy club in a decorated “Back on the Strip” convertible, gleaming and impossible to miss. 

An impressive marketing stunt, to be sure, but like many Black actors and actresses struggling to find a way to connect with their audiences this summer, Haddish can’t comment on it.

    Flirt.com is for adults looking for fun, flirty encounters rather than serious dating. The site is aimed at the younger crowd, though there are older members there and some seeking longer term relationships. It offers free membership for women, while men can join for free but must pay for additional services such as email.Flirt has been recently revamped and is designed for people looking for casual dating. Most people there are in their twenties and early thirties, though there is no upper age limit. It’s owned by the Cupid Dating network and caters mostly to members in the UK, the U.S. and Australia, though membership is open to anyone.Flirt is “spicier” than your regular dating site – don’t expect to find your next significant other there.Naughty mode
    This site is designed to have a light, fun feel to it. It is not intended to be an “adult” site, though there is some mature content. Most adult content can be blocked by switching-off “naughty mode” (the initial setting). This will hide any images that are explicit. Flirt is a worth a look if you are single and looking to meet new people and have a little fun. Those looking for more serious relationships would probably be better off looking elsewhere.Features
    Flirt.com is feature rich, offering email, message boards, chat rooms, member diaries, videos as well as basic flirts and emails. Flirt has a dedicated mobile site for those wanting access their matches on the go. They also sponsor speed dating and other live events for those who want to meet someone in person.
    Membership Women have access to all features of for free. Men can join for free, but will need a paid membership in order to use some features of the site. Despite being free for women there is still a very high proportion of male users. Flirt ist ok. A few fake profiles (like everywhere), a few cam girls (like everywhere) and a few scammers (like everywhere) but generally the site seems to be real. Personally prefer because i’ve actually hooked up twice using it, but just wanted to try somethin’ new so decided to give Flirt a chance. I’m really glad that a friend of mine gave me the advice to register on Flirt to make my life more spicy. I wasn’t really going to have anything more than just a naughty chat but it turned out that there’s a nice lady in mt city who’s willing to date with me. I’m freaking happy now Cute looking site like many others however only here I’ve had 5 dates within 3 weeks after the start. Also I should note that flirt sometimes really hard to use and it’s taking some time to feel yourself comfortable during usage of it and actually it’s not because of gliches or something simply the pictures of buttons are obvious so sometimes you can find yourself on the page you haven’t wanted to open. However I should admit that in the end it worth all the troubles in the start.This site is bull****, it’s a total scam, the profiles of women are not even real they are all fake, when you create a profile and it becomes active they suck you in by sending you lots of messages and winks from so called women which are not even real and don’t actually exist and because you can’t read the messages as an unpaid member to be able to read the messages you have to subscribe and pay for a membership then once you do that and you respond to the messages you don’t get a reply back.This site claims that singles are in your area, but in truth that they live elsewhere. I had received a lot of mail from people that the site claimed were in my area, but they actually lived far away. Beware of scammers as well, I have found quite a bit of them on this whose profiles seemed to be processed quickly since their information is available. However, those members who may actually be real usually have the contents of their profile information pending.
    I’ve seen a lot of scam activity on this site and very little actual people.Hi everyone. I didn’t have very high expectations of this sort of thing. However, I have loads of fun talking to people and an amazing amount of interest is being shown in me. Hope things will get even better when I add my photo, hehe 🙂 you guys better do this too, if you haven’t yet 😉 5*Great site! Met some great people and got chatting on the phone with a local using the ‘Talk Live’ feature. I wasn’t expecting much from the whole ‘online dating’ thing other than a bit of joking around and wind-ups, a lot of the feedback from web dating isn’t that reassuring. After signing up for a trial I had a lazy look around the site, but didn’t make much of it, it looks well designed and is easy to navigate, but the abundance of options was a bit overwhelming for a beginner like me. I didn’t go back to it until a few weeks later, I was bored and lonely on a Saturday afternoon and the reason that I joined a dating site became very much apparent again! So i had another crack at it and decided to try and get something out of it this time. After I made the effort to fill in my profile and what I was looking for in a match things got better very quickly. Got chatting with a member who at my request agreed to having a chat over the phone (this might scare some people or way or sound a bit forward, but the talk live feature uses an anonymous caller id so neither party’s numbers are given away, so it’s less of a big deal), and started up a bit of a regular thing with her! Maybe I’m lucky, or maybe it’s my good looks and charm;). Since then we’ve been on a couple of nights out together and get on well… I haven’t been online since! Fingers crossed!!!
