QUOTE(karmakiller @ Jan 1 2008, 11:21 PM) ^ My friend is going to New York next month and she was really worried about that. Thing is, though, is that aren't the scripts the same as they've always been? couldn't Broadway live without the writers for a few shows? The scripts are the same, but most of the actors are just on strike to show support for the writers. Some shows are still on, but some shows are off. My friend has tickets to see Wicked in a few weeks, and she's not sure if it's going to be playing. |

So, the Screen Actors Guild had an announcement:
"After considerable outreach to Golden Globe actor nominees and their representatives over the past several weeks, there appears to be unanimous agreement that these actors will not cross WGA picket lines to appear on the Golden Globe Awards as acceptors or presenters. We applaud our members for this remarkable show of solidarity for striking Writers Guild of America writers.” f**king fantastic. |

If you are really outraged, just read a book, like Brandon said (or watch DVD sets). |

Damn I must suck at making topics.
But yeah, whiny and pissy as I am about not having certain shows I'm addicted to in the spring, I hope the WGA members get what they want - they deserve it! I just hope the strike ends before the audience for very popular shows like Heroes and The Office disappears. I would hate to see them come back and not be popular enough to survive.

Oops. Maybe they didn't do a search on WGA or strike or something. :[

I miss The Office so bad. I've been rewatching all the past episodes from seasons 1-3. I can't take it!!! I have to see what happens in the newer episodes. I could see what you are saying though with fans eventually becoming uninterested with the show since it was off air for such a long period. As for me... I cannot wait for it to come back. I miss my Office Thursdays! |

How will the writers' strike affect movies? Will there eventually be a period of like, no new movies coming out/a lot of shitty rushed movies?

QUOTE(ersatz @ Jan 9 2008, 07:56 PM) How will the writers' strike affect movies? Will there eventually be a period of like, no new movies coming out/a lot of shitty rushed movies? If the strike continues as it is, Hollywood should be running out of scripts. But, they probably have a years worth or more in stock - after a while though, new productions'll start to slow down. So, it is possible, that this will directly effect Hollywood at large. QUOTE(MrStrife @ Jan 9 2008, 10:25 PM) Is the strike still going on? Yes. |
