Crazy like a FOX

Some things for you guys to think about and look at.

-Michael Eisner said that the strike is "stupid" because the writers should take the money that's there now and not some money that might come about with the strike...how stupid does he think these people are? the point of investing is that you assume that the investment you are making might hurt a little now, but in the future will pay off well. Even I know that, and I barely passed Econ in school.

-More people are talking about the chants. Really, is this the best thing you can come up with? Joel Stein said something about it in his column, which if I have finally learned how to translate his columns from neurotic to english, is essentially in support of the strike. And is complaining about them too. I guess she was too busy coming up with clever little bon mots to actually read the script for South Of The Border (that's the talking dog/mexican roadtrip/dogfighting movie she's just getting ready to wrap. I think it's supposed to be the Michael Vick bio-pic)

-The writers are going to be out picketing en masse at Fox today. If you're in the area stop by, honk when you drive by, if you can wear red to show support.

-Variety has a story that is mostly speculation that the studios and networks might turn to British writers to fill the void created by the strike. I guess the founding fathers fought the revolution for nothing!

Also, just in case you're interested in where I'm getting this stuff check out:
Ken Levine's Blog A hilarious blog from one of the writers who is out on the picket line.
Deadline Hollywood Daily Very informative and pretty evenly balanced in reporting.
