Now, the writers are a bunch of pansies. There are probably more talented and less bitchy writers that could replace them for less money. I say fire all the striking queefs and bring in some new blood.

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.

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.

***Galvatron*** wrote: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?

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?

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.

That's the excuse, not a reason to me. Are you saying they don't have the right to get paid to view the movie in their own theaters then ?
I'd have to ask what is your profession then and does that mean I get to use those services and then not pay for them?

I thought you was questioning the reason why people download pirate copies instead of going to the cinema, and i was giving the answer.
And i dont have a profession anyway.

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.
