Aw, I missed Alicia...? Frak....
Oh well, at least I was there, and about 5 feet from Ms. Oh... ;)

My guess would be ... ( 2 years ago by jalbin81)

My guess would be that she's started acting in movies... so she's a member of SAG, which is supporting the strike. And she did give a little speech about being a writer herself... oh yeah, the publicity probably doesn't hurt either.

Please stay on strike so I don't have to be subject to the pablum put out by the mainstream entertainment industry.

Down with hollywood. Down with the tripe they've pedalled to us year after year on the boobtube and their formulated garbage. Good riddance. I hope there is the big one there while you realize you won't be coming back.

What are we to do ... ( 2 years ago by softearth)

What are we to do without the writers of Hollywood?
Hum...Perhaps people will start learning about stuff that really matters!
I have a dream! That people will start to care about real world problems instead of what's on TV Tuesday night.

The fact that there ... ( 2 years ago by vcalzone)

The fact that there are people who DO follow politics and enjoy tv demolishes your argument. Don't blame television for making people stupid and apathetic, it goes way further, like how years of being a superpower has made a generation take their place in the world for granted. So get off the soapbox.

Furthermore, just ... ( 2 years ago by vcalzone)

Furthermore, just who do you think is peddling tripe? I'll throw you a bone here. It's the studios. If they win this, there will be far MORE mindless garbage, not less. Think with your brain, not your gut.

People will do what ... ( 2 years ago by sirwinaktr)

People will do what they want anyways. Also, in a world with chaos, people also need entertainment to keep them from going insane. "bad" people will stay "bad" if they want to and those who aren't focused on the negativity will find ways, if they want to, to support each other and keep their heads up.

Good Point! ( 2 years ago by softearth)

Good Point!

Hum...sounds like your stomach is the one talking! Got Food? If what you say is true then working for a paycheck doesn't make it right!
I do hope the writers go back to work soon so they can support their families and maybe, just maybe they can write about issues that really matter this time around.
Good Luck!

im sure they will go back to work to entertain you, when they are paid what they deserve.

go writers, dont download dont stream vids, untill they get paid. for christ sakes, these beautiful, talented people only want a wopping 8 cents for each 19.99 dvd! come on. they want cents, amptp wants billions.

Clever pun. Maybe ... ( 2 years ago by vcalzone)

Clever pun. Maybe you should be a writer. But if you have a beef, it's with the news media. It's not the job of tv/movie writers to educate the public.

I'm not going to ... ( 2 years ago by Arl2ene)

I'm not going to the movies for my birthday as planned until they settle this strike. I'm not buying DVDs. I'm not downloading tv shows. I'm not buying any products advertised on any tv shows. I will try to rent only foreign movies. I wanted to see The Golden Compass and No Country for Old Men...Oh well. I'll just have to read the books again: old media!
