Tell me about it, I work for a hospital operating room and our contract is up in June, the organization is already working full speed ahead to do whatever it takes to get rid of certain people even BEFORE the contract is up and when it is up I can assure you they will try even harder in other departments to get rid of them.
We are most likely safe in the o.r. but that's not a guarantee but they've already slashed 2.5 million dollars in just the supplies area and that's just the o.r. I work in and it's only a start, the other o.r's will face the same or worse and that does not include any payroll issues.
They plan to "lay off" or eliminate at least a thousand jobs next year alone most likely more and they want to outsource certain jobs too.
Point is that strikes while ugly do serve a good purpose and neither side will ever get everything they want, there will always have to be concessions made on both sides.


I here ya, my Mom and one of my sisters are nurses and are constantly nervious about these issues.

They, and the majority of thir coworkers who I've met, genuinely care about the people they help, and it's sad to see them struggling just to get by as a vital industry constantly and consistantly suffers.

It's even more sad that there's problems like this through out the world's workforce, that are getting little if any help while these people are crying about the fact that they aren't getting paid for the afterfacts of their completed jobs!

This to me is like you a hospital worker expecting compensation because a dismissed patient needs off site rehabilitation therapy :???:

Which hey, if it does work for them, I say push for it, after all they arent fully healthy yet, they are still seekeing help, and even though you aren't involved anymore, you where at one point :-?

I don't mean to ridicule you with that, just the writer's situation, cause as far as I know, the world doesn't work like that.

I do so love the narrow mindedness and ignorance of some in this thread.

How many people have actually stopped and researched WHY they're striking?

What's that? They want more money? Yeah, that's the SIMPLE explanation.

The longer more detailed explanation is this.

A few years ago the Writer's Guild and the big studios struck an agreement on how writer's would be paid.

That agreement however was before streaming technology became prevalent over the internet.

Now you have networks streaming tv episodes a day or so after they originally go to air, or offer them to be downloaded from iTunes.

The networks are generating revenue from these steams and downloads, and under the agreement the writers receive NOTHING of that revenue.

THIS is what they're striking over. They want a slice of that revenue generated by stuff they helped create.

Wouldn't you want your share of something you helped to create? Think about that before you dismiss the writer's.

Oh and consider this, "there's far more talented people who would kill to get a foot in the door to write" ... you might find some networks will NOT work with writers and actors who are not part of the SWG or SAG.

I love being called narrow minded & ignorant by a person that did not bother to read my post a few spaces above. I commented that I did not know exactly why they were striking other than money. I did not know their situation, such as if they were studio employees or contractors. I also don't have to like that WE are paying the price for the strike.

And if they are doing it because of streaming video and downloads that does not change much in my mind. Studios have embraced these things because of a decline in ticket sales at theaters. I think the decline is because of sub par poorly WRITTEN movies. So who is really to blame here?

Now again I will say I am not trying to be disagreeable but we all have our own opinions.

If people aren't going to the theaters because of poorly written scripts then why would they want to download the same crappy movies at home? that makes no sense to me. If they've already determined that it's not worth watching in the theaters then sitting in front of a screen which most peoples are still much smaller than their tv sets certainly isn't much more of an incentive to me not to mention most peoples crappy chairs in front of their pc's. You lose the scope of a lot of movies or tv shows watching them that way which is why I love my 50" HD 1080dpi big screen tv, it's made a world of difference to me in detail that I see not only in the picture size but clarity and detail and better sound too.
Samsung, the same people that made my 50" tv now have a 73" tv set I think for not much more than what I paid for this one and I really want to get it in a year or less but I think that is more than big enough for a long time to come if not forever lol.

People make excuses of illegally downloading movies because theaters suck, I say they are just cheap and lazy and think they have to "stick it to the man" some how.

If all the theaters suck what's their excuse to justify the piracy of music then?

Heres the reason: Going to the theater costs money, a small fortune if you live in the UK. downloading the film to your PC doesnt cost anything.

Okay no one said anything about illegal downloads. I have never done that. When I said studios are starting to embrace the idea I assumed you knew I meant legal downloads.

And I suggest you read my posts above defending big business before you assume I am the type to stick it to that man. Quite the opposite.

BTW which model Samsung do you have? It sounds like we have the same one. I have mine hooked up to a media center PC, kinda helps to avoid the crappy PC chair thing huh? :grin:

Also I avoid theaters in my area because of the annoying kids. Man, that makes me sound old. You can't hear between the cell phones and the one alpha moron making loud comments to impress his little emo harem.

It's not really a money thing at least for me. Although it is getting there, last time we went it cost like 40 bucks for my wife and I.

As long as we are talking about the writers strike, this should be interesting reading:

http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/talks-day-8-toldja-amptp-quits-talks-issues-statement-filled-with-lies/

After reading this, I'm pretty sure this is going to last for a while. If this strike continues through June 2008 when the rumored SAG strike starts over their contract expiring, this could get ugly.

IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT THE MOVIE INDUSTRY!

If anything it stems from the television industry and the revenue generated by advertising when streamed from the network's website or from the likes of iTunes.

And it is most definitely NOT about illegal downloads. Why would the writer's strike and demand more money from the networks and studios because of illegal downloads? It's not like the networks and studios are getting more money from illegal downloads now is it? ;;)

What many like minded individuals like yourself should consider is that we are not just striking for ourselves. We are striking for new blood, too.

Writing, in the final analysis, is the last truly democratic entry point into this business. We can't all be born looking like Brad Pitt or Julia Roberts, and not everyone is fortunate enough to have the money to go to film school and learn how to use expensive equipment to learn how to direct. BUT ANYBODY CAN HAVE AN IDEA, and when they do, they should be protected from having it cannibalized by studios, which are essentially little banks. Instead of loan officers and tellers, they have executives. And they "loan" the talent money to make their content. All they currently ask in return is a 99.99 percent interest rate on al l future earnings of y our creation.

The WGA is not a secret club which limits members. If you have an idea and someone buys it, you're in. Period. This strike is as much for current members as it is for any aspiring writers. That's probably why we currently have the support of so many within our industry who have been laid off. They too have ideas for shows and movies, and they know that if they are lucky enough to get them made, they will want the very protection we're fighting for.

When you do let everyone know how it feels if someone steals your ideas,services or cold hard money out of a register, it's all pretty much the same but the tax man won't care every April 14th when he wants his share here in the usa nor will the landlords at the beginning of every month. :P

If they've already determined that it's not worth watching in the theaters then sitting in front of a screen which most peoples are still much smaller than their tv sets certainly isn't much more of an incentive to me not to mention most peoples crappy chairs in front of their pc's. You lose the scope of a lot of movies or tv shows watching them that way which is why I love my 50" HD 1080dpi big screen tv, it's made a world of difference to me in detail that I see not only in the picture size but clarity and detail and better sound too.
Samsung, the same people that made my 50" tv now have a 73" tv set I think for not much more than what I paid for this one and I really want to get it in a year or less but I think that is more than big enough for a long time to come if not forever lol.

People make excuses of illegally downloading movies because theaters suck, I say they are just cheap and lazy and think they have to "stick it to the man" some how.

If all the theaters suck what's their excuse to justify the piracy of music then?


Okay no one said anything about illegal downloads. I have never done that. When I said studios are starting to embrace the idea I assumed you knew I meant legal downloads.

And I suggest you read my posts above defending big business before you assume I am the type to stick it to that man. Quite the opposite.

BTW which model Samsung do you have? It sounds like we have the same one. I have mine hooked up to a media center PC, kinda helps to avoid the crappy PC chair thing huh? :grin:


I made no assumptions about you specifically, your name or anyone elses wasn't mentioned so please don't make assumptions about my replies as you were making the same accusations against Burn.
I made a reply to the subject matter not to your character.


Maybe you misunderstand me. I don't think you or Burn were pointing me out. I have no issue with anyone here or their opinions. I never thought you were attacking my character. The only time I could be accused is the stick it portion above. I'll take the fire on that.
I'm not trying to start anything, I was just speaking my side. It's called a discussion, but in the future I'll be sure to be very clear so everyone is happy.


"And I suggest you read my posts above defending big business before you assume I am the type to stick it to that man. Quite the opposite."

When you do mention me specifically yes, that is what the big difference is here so no I did not misunderstand you but rather the reverse as I was speaking my side that had nothing to do with you specifically and only the topic matter at hand but lets try and move on now ok and get back to the subject ?

Yea apparently I excel in ticking people off. No biggie. Back on subject after reading the terms of the strike I agree they are getting shafted. BUT I still would like to see some new blood come in. I think thats what the Orci post mentioned as well. If that really is him no offense meant, I don't have a problem with the movie.

Everybody smile. :grin:
