So who’s going to write all of those great sequels, remakes, and movies based on tv series? This is a disaster.

We’ll probably get a new wave of “reality shows” because of this. Ever notice how they don’t seem to have any script?
My cousin is a member of this guild; he wrote “Toy Story 2” among others. I support him in this strike. Of course, I don’t have any picket lines I can’t cross.
Yes, who's going to write all the *spew* that passes for entertainment? I got slapped in the face last night when I was channel surfing and happened to land on Bravo TV -- a pornographic commercial was showing, which I hope my brain can forget! These are evil people. And this wasn't at 2 in the morning or something -- this was early evening. To think that children could have been watching this spew. It's disgusting.
[If anybody knows what commercial I'm referring to, please don't post back to me what it was. I'll ask to have your post deleted. That's how much it offended me. It even bothers me that I am posting about it, thereby making it stick in my memory a little bit longer.]
