Members Khan Posted November 6, 2007 Members Share Posted November 6, 2007 Why do I feel like I'm on "Murder, She Wrote" all of a sudden? I'd take pictures, too, except, I'd be too busy picketing w/ the rest of 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bellcurve Posted November 6, 2007 Members Share Posted November 6, 2007 Argh! Do I speak in code sometimes?! I got to work on actually posting and not thinking aloud. I was just looking at the pictures and I noticed the writers were picketing outside of the Today Show Studio. Well, I've been watching TODAY for two days in a row and I noticed that a) everyone but Meredith and Natalie Morales left for certain parts of the world(Matt in the North Pole, Al at the Equator, and Ann at the South Pole). they haven't done any shots directly outside of the studio. And I realized by looking at the pictures you added that...the writers are holding up their signs out there. So, that's why they haven't done a camera pan of everyone outside Rockefeller Center waving their "Hi Everyone in Bumf*** Florida" signs. LOL. I've yet to see an episode of that show.

Members Khan Posted November 6, 2007 Members Share Posted November 6, 2007 Another reason to support the strike, IMO. I can't stand those camera hogs w/ their dorky signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NeoAngelicLiz Posted November 6, 2007 Members Share Posted November 6, 2007 Why would I be banned? Because I said damn? Umm okay...as if they haven't said or shown worse on tv. Or maybe because I don't follow the party line? Not really getting your point there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 6, 2007 Members Share Posted November 6, 2007 Why are they only picketing at NBC in NYC? CBS and ABC do have headquarters in NYC as well, and I haven't heard of picketing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted November 6, 2007 Members Share Posted November 6, 2007 You would be banned from writing for U.S.-produced shows, NeoAngelicLiz, b/c of your anti-union stance, not b/c you used an expletive in your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 6, 2007 Members Share Posted November 6, 2007 LMAO, did you read Bellburve's post? He was speaking about the situation regarding the writers and the point you brought up, not you. But of course, we know YOU'VE been banned before here. ATWTCAron4Evea, LiasonAgent, Brad4Ever, or whatever the hell you're going by these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted November 6, 2007 Members Share Posted November 6, 2007 NO, because you don't support the union! And once the strike is over, every studio will hire from those represented by the WGA. They probably won't hire you and if they do, you'll probably be paid minimum wage and not have your name shown in the credits. How would you feel about that? Not even being credited for your work or being able to win awards for it because the production companies value your contribution that little?!

Members NeoAngelicLiz Posted November 6, 2007 Members Share Posted November 6, 2007 I read your entire post but I"m just gonna answer a few of your questions because I'm sorta pressed for time over here... I'm not writing a show because I frankly don't want to. Its my not desire. I don't have an urge to write a show. I do have opinions about what is written. And I'm from California btw...I don't know what Haymarket Square is. SO I'm guessing your earlier statement about these companies HAVING to hire these people back was false? Or is there some type of law/contract that says once this strike is over they all HAVE to be rehired and are prohibited from losing their jobs because they're on strike.

Members Khan Posted November 6, 2007 Members Share Posted November 6, 2007 Actually, these days, she's going by "Veronica Sandbridge." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NeoAngelicLiz Posted November 6, 2007 Members Share Posted November 6, 2007 I did read his post! He was talking about the writers thing and I THOUGHT he meant I would banned from writing on television because I said damn! What the heck are you talking about? Are you the one whos slow or something I even QUOTED his original post just to show what I responding to.... In short I don't know what your problem is but really get over it. If you don't like my stance on this ridiculous little fight thats fine but stop trying to start an argument with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted November 6, 2007 Members Share Posted November 6, 2007 Get thee to a U.S. History class - STAT. I'm under the impression there is, but Toups seems to disagree. So, as I told Toups (which you'd know, if you would bother to read the thread), IF there is, then I stand corrected. And although I could be wrong about that one particular fact, in no way does it negate the bulk of what I have said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NeoAngelicLiz Posted November 6, 2007 Members Share Posted November 6, 2007 Oh okay I just wanted to make sure. I mean in todays world and everything contracts seem to be the bottom line so my opinion on the situation really wouldn't change what would happen IF it were true you know? Will this affect Grey's Anatomy you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 6, 2007 Members Share Posted November 6, 2007 Well, life sucks that way , and from your posts, you seem to be the one who belittles everyone else's opinions, when it doesn't suit your agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
