what yahoo is reporting about the producers' offer:
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

[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.

Looks like it's not really good for the writers at this point, as far as the WGA is concerned:

Plus! Free flash drive! How big is it?
Half a gig, I think?
PS -- I miss the media blackout.

"I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world"
In other industry news, I just received a package from Warner Bros. containing a flash drive with four screenplays on it for my consideration. It's a pretty nifty idea.
Pardon the clueless man here, but what type of consideration?

Not Kristen, but "for your consideration" typically means "please vote for us for an industry award".

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I apparently don't understand what the phrase "cool to" means. I was confused because I expected that article to say they've "cooled down" or they "thought the proposal was cool," when I was sure that wasn't the case.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
"Cool with" would mean they thought it was cool; "cool to" means it didn't give them warm fuzzies.
I'm trying hard not to think nasty assholish thoughts toward the studios, but it's very difficult.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The difference is whether "cool" is used as a verb or an adjective.

What JZ said. "Cool to" means it left them cold.
t edit or what Dana said.
