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.

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.

I'd be just as happy to send 'em off to folks here who want them in exchange for a donation...

And why does he have so many damn words on his sign?

Lovely, P-C!

yeah some of those comments are really angry-making. To some degree I think the point that actors are paid out of proportion to their contribution to society is true, but I don't think there is a profession that is paid in proportion to it's societal contribution. That's not how the free market works.
