you have 100% of my support for AS LONG AS IT TAKES! :)

I HAVE IDEA!!!!!!

Turn the Writer's Strike into a show. Just get some cameras and the writers could be actors. I am not just talking about putting a camera in front of the writers and getting their opinion, but an actual story. They certainly have enough writers for the job. It should carry the message but be entertaining enough to get people to watch. It would certainly give them publicity :D

KiernanMonney, I think camshaff's just a bit restless with all the free time so he's just trying to stir things up a bit. There's also this strange preoccupation with Bollywood....

[kirktucci]

A new opening is welcome, but the DGA plan would have been a fine counter offer in November. This is no "Foot in the door" but a lame offer which will once again likely not be revisited, as cable and DVD's have notoriously not been in the past.

Nobody said they had to except the dga plan..they only asked you to build from it. Since the talks had become stalled this is a new opening. but again a foot in the door to new media on a 3 year contract is better then continueing this havoc on the industry.. dga have given a gift of opening doors again..that is it...

[kirktucci]

The wga signing away residuals will occur if they don't build on the framework of the dga plan, not accept it as it is. Residuals aren't as important to the dga, where over 60%of its members don't make residuals.

i support u

[Pervenche09]

You are funny to believe that... All I have to say is they have never gone on strike and always have had forward progress and their leaders never signed away there writes in which you have to fight now to regain piece by piece.... look to each his own i am sure applies here bottom line every union , guild and network need one another to actually make this industry work...it's a puzzel and with out one piece or another the puzzel is an incomplete work of art....

"As Long As It Takes"

now that there would make a great t-shirt WGA slogan xD

[kirktucci]

The DGA contracts have notoriously been known to not provide a lot ultimately. The AMPTP knows this and therefore wanted to deal with them first and then try to lord this deal over the other guilds heads and play it for as much press as possible.

[Pervenche09]

They had been speaking with the amptp informally for 2 years regarding this contract..they got what they got because they set out with a good plan and commuincation straight away before they had to come to a strike... they don't even have to sign a deal now since they don't expire until june 30th...not to mention they have always been like this in regards to their contracts and protacol...lol y7ou crack me up...lol leaverage...lol
