Members DaytimeFan Posted January 15, 2008 Members Share Posted January 15, 2008 I now officially despise Marina Alburger. She's one of LML's lackeys...off with her head! How dare she be so smug and superior about her 'talent' and 'education' and how that makes her a 'good' writer. What a subjective cow! Oh and how awful about B&E going Fi Core. If I was Susan Lucci or Agnes Nixon I would be quite concerned, that son of a bitch Brian Frons seems intent on getting AMC canceled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted January 15, 2008 Members Share Posted January 15, 2008 I know a few writers... WORKING writers... who have gone back to working various non-writing jobs since the strike started... INCLUDING retail. And I'm sure they would disagree with what she said. They're not all like Ms. Alburger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Noel Posted January 15, 2008 Members Share Posted January 15, 2008 LOL! What's so wrong with being a cocktail waitress or working at Nordstrom's? That's kind of a smug thing to say IMO. I remember being a time where I had to do a private party and I got these people drunk of their asses being a cocktail server and I was all about the cash! And I made the $$$$!

Members Khan Posted January 15, 2008 Members Share Posted January 15, 2008 Well, Jon Robin Baitz should be glad to be rid of his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stenbeck212 Posted January 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 16, 2008 You may be at odds with her candor, but that doesn't mean every episode she writes brings in half of the average annual salary. Maybe she did work jobs like those before moving to bigger things. Who here knows her entire life story? Is she supposed to LIKE taking a huge step backward in life? Probably not. If that makes her an overachiever, so be it. I'm reminded of Martha Byrne, who said that she didn't formulate a backup plan in case acting didn't work out, because she didn't plan to fail. Nobody here plans to work at Nordstrom's, I assume. Giving voice to that opinion shouldn't make you the devil. Are we out of compassion for the writers who don't want studio greed to detour their careers during this strike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Posted January 16, 2008 Members Share Posted January 16, 2008 Let me just start off with, I have always supported the writers in their decision to strike, and will continue to do so.... However....I think the biggest problem with her comment is the blatant disregard for the production assistants, janitors, interns, lighting guys, etc. who will have to be a cocktail waiters/waitress' and/or work at Nordstrom's because of this strike. The people who don't make nothing near what some of the writers make, who lost their jobs because of the strike. We aren't out of compassion, we have compassion for the writers, but also have compassion for those who have now become unemployed because of the strike.

Administrator Toups Posted January 16, 2008 Administrator Share Posted January 16, 2008 http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2008/01/could-splinter.html Things are heating up!! I really hope the DGA are able to make a deal, and then maybe the WGA can find a deal to end this strike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jxxx Posted January 17, 2008 Members Share Posted January 17, 2008 I'm reasonably sure it's probably a typo based on last week's NYT article on B&E going fi-core, but...from yesterday's FOX 411: I'm checking some sources, because I can't imagine that the whole team has now gone fi-core...

Administrator Toups Posted January 17, 2008 Administrator Share Posted January 17, 2008 I'm pretty sure FOX news is wrong. Kate Hall's mother, Courtney Simon, is a strike captain and in the LA Times article from early Jan, Michelle Patrick was totallly against going Fi-Core.

Members brimike Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 Way to exaggerate, Fox. (Like anyone should be surprised) The WHOLE team has NOT gone fi-core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 Why don't I have a problem seeing at least Beall being dumb enough to do that? Maybe it's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Southofnowhere Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 It's sooooooo strange seeing AMC being called low-rated. I know it's true but still strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hey all: you're astute industry experts. I posted this over on usenet, but I think maybe one of you can help me clarify my thinking here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
