Slog - Comments on Looking for More Info on the Strike? http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/11/looking_for_more_info_on_the_strike Yesterday I posted some of Didion's writing about the 1988 writers' strike in Hollywood as a way of providing some perspective on writers' strikes in general and/or jumpstarting a conversation about Didion in general (favorite topic of yours truly). Nevertheless, all that the commenters wanted to talk about were the particulars of the current strike. So it seems worth mentioning that if for whatever reason you really do care about the strike, you shouldn't be reading Slog. You should be reading Nikki Finke's blog.

So you only care about unfair labor practices if the product the workers make is something you yourself consume? What a twat.

Can you imagine refusing Joan-fucking-Didion a floor pass? The nerve!


And thanks for the Nikki Finke link - she's hardcore. She'll tell it like it is. But it's strange she doesn't mention the picketer who was hit by a rageaholic studio jerk in an SUV. Defamer was all over it, including a pic of his sneaker under the SUV's front tire.

Get fucked. I support the strike, but the details of the shows is trash to me.

And, yes there is life beyond TV...high quality real people and real planet life.

Otherwise, it will be nice to not watch TV for a while, and catch up on the movies I missed.

"Reaper" may be set in Seattle, but the show is shot in B.C.

Darn. One of my surprise faves.
