I don’t really see this affecting the movie side of things much, but it’s still an interesting development.

According to Defamer, word in the secret lair of studio execs is that they now WANT the Writer’s Guild of America to go on strike next month, after their contract expires (btw, who the hell decides to make a contract expire on Halloween??). Apparently the execs are so mad at the crappy shows that have been premiering this season, that they’ll use the strike as a chance to abort all the ones that are failing, which is just about all of them. Although if they’re willing to go that far, I wouldn’t be surprised if even the GOOD shows get cancelled.

So it’s almost like the studios themselves are striking! “Oh, you want to strike? Okey dokey! Be sure to pick up a job application on your way out, ’cause your shitty show won’t be here when you come back! HAHA!”
