[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. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!
The biggest upside is not having my clothes smell like an ashtray. I like the smell of my clothes again.
For me it was being able to walk into a strange place and not be scoping out the exits, checking for possible lurk and smoke spots under an overhang and out of the wind, or sun, depending on the season and weather. And being able to go someplace and not have to carry smokes and fire. Credit card, license and car key and I'm good to go.
Go Cindy! It's tough, but you're tougher.
scarf update - it's at about 33" now. I love this yarn. I went looking for online sellers to see if anyone had it on sale. But no, I will use up more stash yarn before I buy anything else.
According to Whedonesque, ABC have picked up a Fillion penned pilot called "Repo Brothers". But there's nothing in the trades, so I'm not holding my breath.
I knew he'd sold something. I think he mentioned it at the ME picket.
Huh, good stuff. I had no idea he wrote.
So Clooney goes fi-core in WGA because they ruled against him on getting a writing credit for Leatherheads. Seems a little drastic, especially considering that he didn't appeal the arbitration decision.
Most writers (and directors) who choose to go FiCore usually do it over something credits-related.
It seems that the credits process is one of the most contentious internal WGA processes. There is the money component, of course, since residuals can be derived from credits, but does anyone know why people think the process is so out of whack?
And, I hear that Leatherheads is not that good! Perhaps it may have been better for it to be uncredited!
Seems a little drastic, especially considering that he didn't appeal the arbitration decision.
From that article you linked:
"We both thought Duncan and Rick would get first position credit, which they deserved. But this wasn't right," [Heslov] said.
Clooney said he refrained from appealing because he didn't want to appear to be feuding with the guild during the run-up to the strike.
Heslov pointed out that going fi-core was Clooney's "form of protest," which he wanted to keep from being made public.
"We're both big union guys," said the producer. "Between us, we belong to 12 unions. I think they made the wrong decision, and he was within his rights to respond by going financial core."
A rep for the WGA declined to comment on the matter.
