It is the end of the world - as far as Hollywood is concerned.

Carson Daly has a web site which asks his audience to submit jokes for his nightly show, as he’s decided to buck the writers and keep on truckin’.

There’s nothing wrong with making a buck or two but I gotta think that if a union, er, “guild” is involved then there is *probably* some cry-babying going on.

I’m enjoying this strike. It’s like someone pulled the plug on the Script-O-Tron 3000 Crapomatic script machine and the conveyor belt of mediocre scripts coming out of the networks and studios has ground to a halt.

Is it possible to make a show or movie without the Film Actors Guild, Writers Guild et al?
I hope someone starts doing it in a high profile way soon.

I don’t think I would shed a tear if the strike went on long enough for all the writers to go flat broke and homeless.

“Just what is entertainment worth?”

Not much to me. Life is too short to be distracted by “entertainment”.

Things to do, places to go, women to dine, hold and kiss.

I watch the financial channels, old movies and the Discovery, History and Military channels to watch them build big things and/or blow them all to hell.

Hollywood? Drop dead and take all your commie/socialist America hating lefties and crybabies with you. I hope you all starve.
