(no subject)
I haven't written in here for a little while cause I didn't have much to say. I saw Cyrano with Kevin Kline and Jen Garner, but I simply didn't care enough about it to write a review, either positive or negative. I enjoyed myself enough to keep me in my seat, but I didn't like it all that much. I had more fun at Pygmalion.
However! There is something important I want to write about. The WGA strike. I'm sure everyone on my friendslist is aware the writers are striking. I like writers and underdogs so my heart naturally went out to them. But now I'm 100% on their side. For those of you too busy to read that whole article, it basically details how the producers told the writers if they took DVD residuals off the table, they could make headway on the negotiations. However, once they were in the negotiation room, the producers wouldn't budge and actually stormed out. THEN they told Variety and the Hollywood Reporter that the WRITERS were the ones who left negotiations early, calling their decision to strike "irresponsible"!!!!
No. What's irresponsible is telling someone that if he does this, you'll do that, and then not doing that when he does this. You lied to the writers, who were prepared to give up a huge part of their contract to meet you halfway, and you refused to do it. I fully support the writers in any way that I'm able.
When all the TV shows are off the air, you can still be entertained by Youtube! Check out this guy. He's hilarious. And while you're at it, bookmark my page - videos will soon be going up there. And feel free to subscribe to my channel or rate or comment on my videos.
