Oh for crying out loud.

I've been in hermit mode a while, so I don't know if you all have seen this yet, but in case you're interested, here's some

As noted in whywewatchljcom:

Actors Guild Mediated talks fell through. It looks grim, especially considering the AMPTP has not been honoring the terms of the Writer's Guild contract that they agreed to at the end of last year's Writer's strike. Which, you know, nice. Real classy move. Makes people so much more willing to negotiate when they know you're already breaking your word. ARG.

whywewatchljcom is a good comm to watch for fans that want to stay informed about what's going on with this stuff, although the mod has a bad habit of not putting long articles behind a cut. :-P

gah

why?! why does everybody try to screw everybody else over in this stupid world?

Greed, I think, mainly, and because they've been getting away with it up to this point.

Also, I suck because you posted a respose on the 25th and I didn't see it 'til now.

Just...people are *&^%&***ed up. Why should we pay people, or treat them with respect--nooo that would make too much bloody sense.

I'm hoping a bunch of them do like Joss Whedon did with Dr. Horrible and do straight to internet productions and bypass the whole AMPTP system.

Makes sense to me, and we would all be right there with them for that;) Genius doesn't need a huge budget, just a good idea--and we know he has many of those..lol
