the Writers Guild of America (WGA) Strike

[neonleon]

some 7 weeks into the strike now of the wga. Looks like they are not getting their way yet.

But do some of these writers deserve more money?

god knows, but here's what they can do in the meantime, whilst hollywood is crippled.

Use this thread to post your new film ideas.

Here's one for hollywood. A small american coastal town is terrorised by a huge man-eating shark. You could call it, O I don't know, say, "jaws".

There you go same results as when you had the writers in, crap remakes of films, with [Poor language removed] actors but better effects.

burn hollywood burn indeed.

I don't know what writers make so I'm not sure if they are underpaid or not. However Hollywood isn't crippled. Movies are still being produced and nightly talk shows like the Daily Show, and Conan are going back on the air. Plus the networks are just going to keep stacking programming up with reality shows. The writers are going to get their ass handed to them. It might be the most misguided strike in history.

It's a travesty. I feel lost without the great American cultural machine to provide direction to my life.

*waits for Rob*

Theres a giant rat and it feeds off bad melts, it gets on a special plane and goes to Anfield where it devours all the home support.

THE END.


Spielberg: Im waiting, call me.

All I really watch is football.

(Now, if there's a worldwide football strike.... I'm screwed.)

 

[TX Bill]

Story edit: The Giant Rat arrives at Anfield and all the home support has left because they are down 2-0 again. Luckly the for Rat he finds a big fat onion in the middle of the pitch which keeps his belly full for a month.

There was a giant rat discovered this week in Indonesia. Size of a cat it was. Very topical of you Chico

Heat: I loved it, its a best seller.

Where you from pal?

 

[heatmeiser]

I'm a Lancashire exile hiding out near Halifax.

I used to live equidistant between Merseyside and Manchester, but it gave me a headache.

Now I live near lots of fields. Much better.


I passed my idea on to an american man but he hasn't replied yet.
