  • i was all ready to fire back but you had to bring the baby into it! i withdraw!

  • lol, no, i did not lose. I still stand by my thoughts and I knew the union would not be broken, but don't fool yourself that the WGA is just as greedy as the studios. Oh, and you better go with the other 10% because I am in perfect health with a 2 million dollar life insurance policy, perfect weight, body fat,etc and I run 3-5 miles a day, but nice try. (wife a beautiful that you would die over), so i guess i win!! (and a beautiful 3 month baby girl)

  • hi kiheilawyer. guess what? you lose. and i'm like 90% sure that you're fat. so you lose twice.

  • I can understand why the WGAA wants the right to let its members strike with other unions. However, this should be a choice for individuals, not a forced thing or anything. I can understand wanting a % of DVD profits and a % of internet profits. But lets say I gave you 100% of my past internet profits. That would be $0. And say I gave you 50% of my future internet profits. Just one problem with that... my expected internet profits are exactly....(drum roll)..... $0!!!

  • Most of these negative comments seem to be coming only from you Kiheilawyer. Are you just working on your banter for your own "Boy from Brooklyn" act?

  • "we all in this together' NOT HARDLY. I'm sure the WGA will just drop it all to strike with an IA strike- NOT.

    Haskell has no IA health insurance? I'm sure his day rate pays his own very easily.

    The rest of his camera dept is out on the street wondering how they will get their own insurance and pay their bills.

    I'm sure Haskell (a very smart man) hasn't worried about paying bills for a long time. Being a VERY successful DP He hasn't had to worry about work for a while.

  • Wow. Important message from one of Hollywood's greatest. Bravo.

  • I support the writers! Fight on!
