Bags bags bags! What else could I be spending my money on, anyway? Support the writers!
The Minearverse 5: Closer to the Earth, Further from the Ax
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
They have turned me into a blogger. And that I do not forgive.
This made me laugh out loud.
Youtube of the FOX rally yesterday, really shows the scale of the thing: [link]
Okay, just acknowledging that I have actually made it Bureaucracy. Please excuse my redundancies.
(As ever, day late, dollar short :)
So I had a half-formed idea this morning while waking up, and I don't know if it would be dumb, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.
How popular are the terms "yarn" and "skein" outside the pages of Variety? I thought maybe someone could come up with a little thing with yarn to put in the bags, like a pin or somesuch, that the writers could keep as a reminder of fan solidarity?
Yes, I'm fully aware that I'm a giant dork.
Count me in to contribute. I love this solidarity.
"yarn" and "skein" outside the pages of Variety?
Not very. I cannot STAND how often they use "skein." I think it has become a self-parody at this point.
Suffice it to say, I think you have a cute idea though. :-)
OK, now I like Ray Romano:
In Los Angeles, Ray Romano took bagels, fruit and orange juice to strikers outside the landmark gate at Paramount Studios. He said Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who relied on writers for memorable lines during his movie career, should help get stalled contract talks restarted.
“‘I’ll be back’ — somebody wrote that. He didn’t make that up,” Romano said.
Alright I signed the silly petition. Even though I think on-line petitions are close to usueless. But then I saw there are already over 33000 signitures and I thought, "well that is something."
Yeah, Laga, I love that thing. The number keeps growing at an incredible rate. I don't know that it will mean anything to anyone in a position of power, but it's still a bold statement.
