Another Actors Strike???

[T Park]

Whoops!!!! My bad Porky. I meant Manny. I'll fix it.

Thanks.....

The actors are smart enough to plan a strike when the economy is forcing people to tighten budgets, stay home watch TV and go to movies more.


Smart move.

Yeah exactly.

Gas is high, people are already barely going to movies and having to do stuff extra to go there, and they are saying, ya know what, yeah, time to strike for more moolah.

Actually more people are going to the movies this summer than last summer because it is cheaper than most other summer activities

If I said no ones going I apologize, I meant, people are going, but they are having to juggle things a tad to still be able to do it.

Here's what I don't get from some of the people wondering why the actors made this decision to fight. What's so wrong with attempting to negotiate a new deal? These actors aren't making any money, much less top-tier money.

I'd venture a guess that many of us make a decent amount more than 80 percent of the actors today.

So why have so many people been blaming the actors and the writers previously, when you could argue that the deals are unfair to begin with and the studio owners/execs are at fault for causing this rift.

I'll vouch for you if they have a scene involving a drunken stupor.

That was my selling point, but I wasn't "sexy."

Yeah exactly.

Thats fine.

Like I said, I'm not saying them striking is wrong.

I'm looking at it purely from the PR point of view.
