I can't belive it has gone on this long. I mean, these guys are the blood and sweat of our entertainment community.... I can't belive there has been no comprimise worth taking.

I love tv. I hate this, its like 9/11 all over again... an American tragedy.

reason · 01-04-08, 01:46 PM

LOL

when the whole thing started... i really didn't get it

i mean... they must be getting paid well for what they do.

i dont know if they are trying to be like football players and be way over compensated or what

it is strange that it has gone on for so long though

Getting about 4 cents as a group for a $20 or so dvd is pretty ridiculous though.

I think they need to get paid, but I also think they need to hire some better writers. Seriously, tv and movies fucking suck now.

Cable shows have floated to the top for sure.... but the board of fare on the majors and the minors is insultingly stupid... well, I actually can't say that with much authority... the very little I happen to see of that programming is insultingly stupid

I watch a ton of the Science/Discovery/History channel, HD Theatre, Howard On Demand and that's about it. The rest is video games or movies.
