Interesting read, especially the portion where they discuss writers defecting and going "financial core" in the guild in order to get back to work before the strike is over.

If these predictions are accurate, its going to get much, much worse before it gets better for the viewing public.

Quoted: Here's how the grim screenplay might read: The WGA and AMPTP break off negotiations on Friday, Dec. 7, 2007, a day that will live in infamy. The AMPTP reaches an agreement with the much less militant Directors Guild of America in January 2008. Responding to the deal with the DGA, the WGA and the equally activist Screen Actors Guild band together and declare all-out war against the studios in February. The two guilds plan a massive unified labor action to bring Hollywood to its knees on June 30, 2008, the day the SAG contract expires.

In response to my previous dot:

There is a God, and he is just.

Quoted: Jessica Simpson is ready to strip naked in a Hollywood movie. The blonde beauty wants to be taken seriously as an actress and believes baring all is the best way to earn the respect of Tinseltown, even if it goes against her family's wishes.

Also, I highly doubt that ArizonaMoms.com wanted their ads to appear in this context. It's a bit misleading.

If this is indeed the case, I think we can call it even. I'll abandon my quest to punch Morgan Spurlock in the face (and Todd Jones for looking like Morgan Spurlock), and he can turn Bin Laden over to authorities.

Quoted: 'Super Size Me' documentary maker Morgan Spurlock has reportedly done what thousands of U.S. troops have been unable to do - find terrorist leader Osama Bin Laden.

Hmm, I would have guessed mescaline.

Quoted: Star magazine and the National Enquirer jointly reported last night that Wilson, the star of popular comedies including "Wedding Crashers" and "You, Me and Dupree" had slit his left wrist and taken unidentified pills in an attempt to kill himself.

Where do you even start? How the mighty have fallen? The guy
was knighted by the Queen of England!! His film credits will now include "House Of Sand and Fog", "Ghandi", "Schindler's List" and "The Wackness".

Quoted: In her upcoming movie, Mary-Kate Olsen locks lips with Ben Kingsley. Yes, the one-time adorable tyke turned teenage titan, and Gandhi. Not surprisingly, the film's a comedy. Their film, "The Wackness," is slated for release next year

I really just wanted to share with all of you the brilliant headline from Fark on this one (you have to read it in your best Press Your Luck voice):

Quoted: Kevin Costner spins The Wheel of Successful Kevin Costner Movies to determine his next role: No baseball, no baseball... almost the Kennedys... it's gonna be a western
