Why, who is that dapper young man outside NBC Burbank?
And why does he have so many damn words on his sign?

[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.

Lovely, P-C!
OK I know the answer to A but I need a better picture of the sign to answer B.
And yay, you! for turning up to picket in such narsty weather.
Okay, apparently George Clooney is behind the actors' strike of award shows.
Fuck, I shouldn't have read the comments on that link. Now I may have to go kill people. On my Xbox.
I didn't know it was possible to swoon even harder over him.
Like I needed another reason to love George.
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.
Nikki Finke is reporting that it's not true.
Clooney's longtime publicist Stan Rosenfield emailed me today: "Yes, the story is 100% false. The only thing he EVER said was he would not cross a picket line. The writer never called me or anyone I know of to check it out."
There's a proportion issue too - sure, Clooney makes obscene amounts of money. As do about a hundred other people at his level, and maybe a thousand or so a notch down. Most people are making a living ranging from comfortable to scraping for rent. Not terribly different than just about any other industry, and quite possibly far less, just better publicized.
