'Ariel'
[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.
So it seems this rumor has some weight to it.
And the general public is probably completely ignorant of this. They'll watch the show if it airs, regardless of who wrote it. God, that's got to be so weird for the Moonlight writers, to have to come back to a story that other people have mucked about with.
I happened to be looking at my roommates' TV Guide (I was bored) and noticed that they ran four letters, all various shades of contemptuous of the writers' actions. Actually, there was very little mention of the strike besides that -- such as what shows had more episodes in the can, et cetera.
Do I detect some editorial 'bias', do you think?
I just got the internal AMPTP release and started laughing out loud at my desk.
I wish they'd put the new proposal up on their website. I'm hearing contradictory things.
I can send it if you email me at my profile. It doesn't really say anything though. It is all spin. I'm sure United Hollywood will have it up shortly.
United Hollywood makes me throw up in my mouth a little.
Thanks! I will do that.
I'd love for them to put up a comprehensive document like they did with the October 25th proposal. I prefer being able to read through it myself and not have to count on interpretations.
A comprehensive document like that would definitely make it easier to see the truth of their proposal. Right now there is just a bunch of numbers that don't mean anything.
Exactly. That $250 flat fee residual for internet streaming TV reuse has me scratching my head. The official WGA email said:
For streaming television episodes, the companies proposed a residual structure of a single fixed payment of less than $250 for a year's reuse of an hour-long program (compared to over $20,000 payable for a network rerun).
But someone else told me that the $250 isn't for, say, a rerun of Lost. It's for derivative internet programming. Like, 24: The Rookie and Bones: Skeleton Crew.
I'm deeply mistrustful of sound bytes and press releases.

I've seen others posting a similar message. I keep telling people that all the numbers are meaningless out of context.
You would perhaps enjoying seeing the number of paint jobs ruined by the combination of the ribbon magnets and Florida sun.
Oh, yes, I certainly would!
