Screen Actors Guild Strike

croxiscroxis I am the walrus
in Zocalo v2.0
The Guild will be asking their members to vote yes on the strike very soon.

Here is why.

The studios want to be able ot use non guild actors for new medium (ie internet) and not pay the non guild actors any royalties (can't remember if that is the right term or not, I'm tired as heck). This obviously upsets the guild very much. Federal mediated talks broke down today (and the furnature was bolted to the floor). Over 100,000 actors will be pulled form the strike, movie, tv, and even animation voice overs.

    They cant possibly delay BSG any more can they!?! From what I've read tho the studios certainly seem to be made up of morons

    Maybe if we tell them that we'll stop watching their shows, they'll come to their senses?

    Nah, I didn't think so either. :D

    I know, I was being sarcastic ;) But how much good tv or even movies are out there at the moment? What'll it be like if the strike does go ahead? It'll just be repeats of talkshows all week!
