[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.
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.
I hope it gets to 100,000, and whoever created the petition pays for it to hand delivered to somebody (petitiononline let you do that - it's not that expensive, I had them do it once).
But did you read through some of the signatures? You would have to go through and eliminate the "i have hemorrhoids" ones. That was just on the page that I signed. I don't know about any others.
Oh, that sucks. All of the signatures I saw were on-topic.
I had to do that with the petition I got delivered. Towards the end the petition trolls appeared, the people who hate the idea but sign it anyway to get a comment in. Fun.
Televisionary has a new production blackout update, it's the best I've seen so far: [link]
Not that I am thinking what I watch on my television matters, but do we keep track of the episode numbers and not watch if they keep production going with replacement writers? Is it "tv off" time already, or is it okay to watch those episodes already written but not yet filmed when they air. And by "we", I mean "me" trying to figure out exactly how to be supportive. Or is anything I do with my television between me and my conscience.
They can't get replacement writers, Austin. When they run out of episodes, production will close. Some will shut down before then as showrunners walk. I'd imagine nearly everything will be off the air by mid-January, looking at that.
I'd say watch whatever you'd normally watch.
