[...] Heath Ledger who did a fantastic job of the Joker in the Dark Knight was found naked and dead from an overdose. Yeah, another famous actor of possible lifetime achievement award dead during his prime and when things might be looking good for him. And the Golden Globes was canceled too. [...]

Hehe sorry my bad but i’m glad that there are other bloggers out there who are also interested in looking at the issue rather than just complaining that their fav tv shows are gone.. i doubt very much the actors are happy themselves but even they are fighting for the writers rights too.

it is true what you have said. and it is a shame for this to happen.

when i said “terribly hilarious” im not laughing rather i was sad on how they could not see the bigger picture.

Heya dustyhawk.. i don’t think it’s terribly hilarious but rather a pity. In the industry they are in, money is not always stable and th writers, while they play a major role in a movie or tvseries, I don’t think they nearly get as much as the actors playing the characters.

That said though, I think the whole strike was a quite a downturn for people who look towards acting as their bread and butter. I mean without the writers you don’t get shows, which in turn you don’t get actors that we have come to “recognise” on screen doing their job.

The studios should just make a reasonable contract that can benefit everyone. Rather than causing such strife just for the sake of monopolising a portion of the new media industry.
