I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?

[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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So, looks like SAG is playing hardball in supporting the WGA. They won't cross picket lines to appear on the Golden Globes.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Man. That's as tough as athletes missing the Olympics the year of the US boycott. I can't imagine working hard enough to finally win a place in your specialty and be chosen for public recognition, and saying, "No, not until you do something about this other situation." Hard core.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

I would imagine they still get the award. They just don't go to the event. I'm the kind of hermit that thinks that is a MUCH better deal.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

They'll also all still go to the after-party, which is pretty much the only part of the Golden Globes anyone cares about...

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I responded to a comment on that article with the URL of Cash for the Crew - I hope it gets printed.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

That is so fantastic. Yay SAG!

I explained the strike to a labmate yesterday, and also what the studios might be losing or gaining (upfronts, saving money on reality shows, maybe ending some overall deals, etc). I was a little frightened at how much I knew, but was glad to be able to spread the writer-love.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Ok, seriously, I have crocheted four red scarves - so are we still doing more care packages, or did I completely miss the boat on that? If not, I need an address to mail them to. Or should I just donate them somewhere here?

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

Ok, this may be just me, but a red scarf from Andi would be much more likely to get me to donate than a script. IJS.

Nikke Finke is reporting that United Artists has made a deal with the WGA.

There's no official confirmation yet.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I saw some guff in the press recently saying Tom Cruise is having financial trouble after his taking over of United Artists, so mebbe he doesn't want his studio sat on it's ass for the next year?

I buy it, anyway. It makes perfect sense for UA and it's good for the WGA.
