Currently Browsing: "Writers Strike"

I feel I’m in a unique place to comment on the Writer’s Strike. On one hand, I aspire to be a writer, so obviously I have to support them so that my own paychecks will be that much nicer in the future. On the other hand, I work far below the line in Hollywood, and the Writer’s Guild has put my job, and the jobs of all my coworkers, in danger.

Question of the Day: Where do you stand? With the Writers or with the Studios?

Earlier this week, production came to a screeching halt on my personal favorite show, The Office when members of the cast (most of whom are also writers on the show) took to the picket lines with the rest of their WGA comrades.

No one has been asking me the questions, but I sure as hell know the answers…

You guessed it. The Writer’s Strike continues to wreak havoc on the entertainment lives of the simple folk on the other side of the television.

The grim reality that will exist as a result of the impending Writers Guild of America strike is beginning to unfold this weekend as we begin to see reports that have much anticipated projects being put “on hold” (translation: canceled) and others being cut short.

That’s right, you heard it here… Last. It is official, The Writers Guild of America announced late last week that its 12,000 members will go on strike Monday at 12:01am.
