Amph Writer's strike 2017 edition. (2023 sequel)

If there's fewer regular episodes to broadcast, the networks will have more time to devote to election coverage! Everybody wins!

 

hahaha, like they'll actually be a WGA or an 2020 election in Trump's America

 

Deal details here, mentioned a bump for shortened seasons. Which everyone is doing now but wasn't an issue last time.

I bet the Writers are glad the renewal will be in 2020. It gives them so much leverage. The late night shows and SNL will be want their networks to pay through the nose to save their election coverage.

 

i don't know. if it's anything like this last election the jokes will write themselves.

 

Perhaps Colbert wishes that one joke had written itself so no one else could be blamed for it.

 

I keep reading "Watto's strike 2017 edition"

 

Narcissist much?

 

No just blind much.

 

Somehow, a writer's strike has returned.

 

Yep.

 

No more single writer TV series according to WGA demands. Which is fine, auteur theory is bunk

The WGA was also looking to secure a number of staff – six writers including four writer/producers – as part of “pre-greenlight rooms”, otherwise known as mini-rooms – and “post-greenlight rooms” where one writer per episode up to six episodes, then one additional writer required for each two episodes after six. For instance, an eight episode show would require seven writers including four writer/producers and a ten episode show would require eight writers including five writer/producers.

The studios again rejected this, pointing to shows such as HBO’s The White Lotus, which was written entirely by Mike White.

 

******** Convention 2023

 

Maybe there's an industry thing, but I don't see the point to this writers room thing. It seems homogenizing.

 

Good summary of what the strike is all about:

Have you seen the AI Olive Garden commercial? Hilarouns!

 

I’m 1000% on the WGA’s side.

The concessions the corps gave them were utter bull****

 

Bwahahaha. "Warm and defeated." Perfect. The AIs are already better with words than we are. We're doomed!

 

Skynet doesn't need nukes. Just Olive Garden.

I kind of want to try "Pasta Nachos" tho.

 

We believe the waitress that it is from the kitchen.

I am dying over "bababooey!" from James Bond...
