Xander/Giles ,'Never Leave Me'
[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.
According to the BBC, Fox and Apple are going to announce an iTunes deal which will put Fox's films on iTunes for rental. The article doesn't say it, but I've heard the content will be streamed down, which I presume means writers won't need to be paid. Although maybe I'm too pessimistic with these things.
It's interesting because a lot of studios are complaining about Apple, so I'm surprised Fox are staying in bed with them.
In other StrikeWank news, Rob Thomas was asked by TV Guide about the potential Veronica Mars comic:
“I had a second meeting with DC comics. I heard that the [WGA] didn’t want [TV writers penning TV-based] comic books during the strike as it would promote a network property. We’re investigating whether there are similar hurdles for a defunct TV series like Veronica Mars. Naturally, I won’t be writing it if the Guild doesn’t want me to, but we’re hoping that’s not the case.”
Someone should start a website. StrikeWank.com
I'm tempted almost every day.
It would certainly be more interesting than reading the entires and comments at unitedhollywood and deadlinehollywood. And a hell of a lot less depressing.
I thought unitedhollywood was strikewank. Can't we buy the URL and just point it there?
Speaking of wank, those Speechless videos are the most inane crap EVAH.
GAH!
I got halfway through the videos. The one with Eva Longoria and Nicolette Sheridan made me want to hurt someone.
And I LIKE Desperate Housewives.
I gave up halfway through the first one. Though the last one, the montage, did provide me with my favorite comment on DHD:
Jeez. This strike has lasted so long we’re already into reruns of Speechless.
ETA: Letterman and Ferguson to return to the air WITH their writers.
