NEWS: Asshole Fuckface Roundup – Strike Edition!

This is funny. An editor who doesn't know where to stick apostrophes in his contractions.

For someone who likes to read so much, you sure do abuse punctuation like a mother fucker.

Guys, guys: It has to be a bot.

No way, bots know how to spell rely and use fairly proper grammar, not "as far as I'm concern."
Looks like this one didn't even "relay" on the Government for a proper education, let alone for paying his bills.

BOT, that does not compute- feel short circuit coming on.

That feeling is your circuits going on "strike" because they aren't getting the resources crucial to their survival.

Now that IATSE Local 1 (stage hands) in NY is striking, I'd be interested to hear the combined wisdom of the various nay sayers that have been brandishing their contempt for strikers & entertainment industry folk. Local 1 consists of the class people that everyone seems to be worried about losing work in LA as a result of the WGA strike. Though I am not a member, these are my people and as a result of their efforts in the past I have benefitted in the theatre world from many of the "industry standards" that they have established.

I'm pretty sure they're talking about film editors, Einstein.

Film editors edit writing ?

Wow. Hollywood is neat !

BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH! LA TIMES BLOG

That would be a lesson in physics.

By all means, continue with the meatheaded coercive tactics, it will only hasten the demise of the racketeering, communist unions.
Which will speed up the advancement of the alternative media

More strikers should be run over. If you don't want to get hit by a car, don't stand in front of a driveway or parking lot. You are breaking the law, and if the police refuse to do anything about it someone else should.

More vehicularassaults please.

These "writers" crank out stupid sitcoms that are written with a 13-year-old's mentality. I never watch the crap so I won't miiss them.

Good. These scumbag union guys make me sick. If you don't like your job, QUIT. The problem is, of course, most of these overpaid clowns could never exist in the free market outside their union bubble.

And I'm glad the poor baby got hit. I've seen how protesters block traffic in LA, and I've wanted to run them over, myself.

You know what you call a thousand Hollywood union members under a car? A GREAT start! The studio's and shows should do what any other employer does when an employee doesn't show up for work...TERMINATE THEM and hire someone new. We need new appreciative blood in the industry. I am out of work now because of this and the unions can rot in hell!

Why wasn't the person in the car arrested for assault with a deadly weapon?

Us writers aren't worried about this at all. We know the public will revolt when there are not any new episodes of "america's favorite comedy" 2 and a half men.

The writers will receive a more than healthy pay increase when the public unleashes its fury!

Why am I not surprised to see you entertained by anonymous blowhards on the Internet?

You're an editor? Is your apostrophe key broken? I mean, Jesus, I can see missing one or two, but for shit's sake....

Yes, let's see how defaultx feels when the Anonymous Internet Blowhards Union is threatened with rollbacks.

1. typing from an iphone, i'd say i made a pretty nicely typed up post.
2. I'm a film editor, tardo. apostrophes can go fuck themselves.

I don't really know why, but I was really waiting for that response. It was satisfying, as expected.

I enjoyed it thoroughly. Any man who uses the word tardo immediately gets my respect.

I apologize Maxx. Some editors are good. Some are bad. (The ones that work with writers do hate us though.)

I had suspected that the producers had made a false overature when I first heard that the DVD royalties had been dropped from negotiations. And I'm not surprised that most media didn't pick up on that. Increasingly it seems that journalists these days are rather lazy and need to be spoon-fed information. Especially here in the States.

I hope you boys and girls get your terms. Just like I hope my brothers and sisters in Local One get theirs (especially since that one has a potential to trickle down my way).

(And if people are getting this upset at the writers striking, what will they think when the actors and directors go up for negotiations next year?)

And I can't believe that I just misspelled "overture"...

i dunno, this guy is changing my mind on scab writers. hes so charming!

He's pretty great. Clearly an awesome writer.

too bad he can't act worth a shit.

Best of luck with the negotiations.

Classic.

Unions are for pussies.
