Hollywood's Writers' Strike - Page 9

I love LHotP - I grew up watching it with my mother, and she loved it. (And still does.)

At the time, I used to think it was lame and sappy, but now I love it, because it totally takes me back to some good memories with mom.

I just heard from a client that drivers are getting tickets from police if they honk for the strikers outside the 20th Century Fox lot. (Disturbing the peace.) Apparently, the Fox mucky mucks are not happy with the support. From what I hear, the honking can be heard in the executive offices at Fox.

Where's the Fox Studio? I'm gonna make a point of driving by there with my horn blaring ... and I'll fight any ticket in court.

LSPoorEeyorick · 11-07-2007, 01:01 PM

Heh. I honked my horn outside of Fox yesterday. (They're on Pico, iSm.)

Kevy Baby · 11-07-2007, 01:13 PM

Honk if you're horny

Disneyphile · 11-07-2007, 01:22 PM

Kevy, you told us your horn was just "stuck". At least now we know the truth whenever we hear you blaring down the highway.

Before I read Page 2 of this thread....

You guys liiiiiked the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie???!?!?

Mediocre at best, it prevented me from watching the first season of Buffy until I taped it for a friend toward the end of the season. And even then I didn't want to like it. It was okay - but.. bleh! I can't believe I hang out with you guys!

Buffy did go on to become one of my all-time favorite shows.

I'm pretty much on the LSPE bandwagon, and it makes sense since we have a similar sense of television and movie tastes.

I don't know if anyone else has been watching it, but I've become a pretty big fan of Chuck on NBC. I pretty much can't miss an episode any more. Deadwood was one of my faves, as well as a number of other shows I'm feeling too lazy to list out.

Regarding the OP, I tend to be anti-union, though as Alex said, it's how things are run down here. I'd like to see them get a few drops off the new media teet. I don't know if anyone else here has gone online to watch episodes that have been missed, but it's good stuff and it's got advertising that can't be zipped and zapped through. They making major moolah off it. Same goes for all the shows available for purchase online, etc - there's gotta be something they can do for the writers. Sure, it's easy to say you "don't know what will happen with the future" with these new formats, but it seems as though if it fails, they have nothing to lose by throwing it into the contract, and if it's wildly successful everyone will be pretty happy. Heck, they'd have been better off keeping them happy and keeping the pundits out of it, because they would probably end up better off in the end (the producers, distributors) and they'd save a lot of face on it.

OK, back to reading the rest of the thread.... And you guys liked the original Buffy movie? I gotta sit on that one for a while..

blueerica · 11-07-2007, 01:28 PM

OOoh! So glad someone else likes Chuck! Go MP!

Regarding 24, I'm with NM on that one - he's on the money. I have Season 1, and I should have Season 2, though it may be in a box in my closet... Not sure on that one. Halfway through Season 3, I stopped watching out of annoyance.

Oh, duh. I work in CENTURY City, which used to be part of the 20th CENTURY Fox lot. Um, the Studio (what's left of it) is two seconds from my office. A Honking I Will Go.

Morrigoon · 11-07-2007, 02:02 PM

I didn't know that, iSm! Thanks for the new tidbit.

(I only ever think of Century City as that place where the Schubert USED to be)
