Also, reality television writers, collectively, would be our FRIENDS in three years if they were organized under the WGA. Then the moguls would be unable to fall back on them. Get it? Solidarity in numbers and all that jazz? But I agree, the demand should be dropped in this negotiation. Then if they want to join the Guild, organization efforts can take place shop by shop between now and 2011.
Of course there's no official deal yet, but since the AMPTP is coming back to the negotiating table, it's not a stretch to assume they're going to offer us the same deal (or a variation of it) that the directors got. And I'm worried that Verrone and the others have too much ego invested to accept anything less than an overwhelming victory.
And reality writers will NEVER be a part of the Guild until they're willing to go on strike en masse. This strike was the perfect opportunity for that, and they rolled over instead.

But what if they can get a bigger amount if they get rid of few more cases?

HOWIE MANDEL MUST KNOW
There is. No. Deal. Yet. Duh.

I'm sure you give a flying fuck about it, but I'm with you in this one.
Also, Rush Hour 3 sucks.
God, let this be over, PLEASE!
Can't stand looking at another rerun or facial hair on my favorite talk show host.
How's it hanging, Jeremy?
Remember me? Vince DC?
Blog was dead for a while but I sure am singing away now. Drop by for a visit if you're curious. I think I need the company.
Bonus from all this shit, I'm writing like a bat out of hell! Cheaper than a shrink I'll tell ya.
Props to your new blog. Read it often.
