Writers Shoot Down New Proposal

Friday, November 30th, 2007

strike.jpg

The Writer’s Guild and studio bosses have been in talks for about four days. We haven’t heard much because both agreed not to talk to the media. Well the silence is broken and it’s not looking good for us fans.

Earlier today, the studios offered writers a new proposal which they called a “New Economic Partnership” that would allow writers some sort of share in new media like iTunes and CBS’ Innertube.

The Writers Guild blasted the proposal in a letter to it’s members saying that it wasn’t fair.

In a letter to members, however, the two guilds[WGA West and East] blasted the proposal as inadequate. They said, for instance, that it would pay only $250 for a year’s re-use of an hour-long program streamed on the Web, in contrast to the $20,000 currently paid for a network re-run. They also said the new proposal did not change the company’s proposed payments for downloaded films and shows. The guilds also said the companies refused to grant them jurisdiction over original content produced for the Internet.

Over the next few weeks, the WGA will decide on a longer, more sustained strike or if WGA members will return to work without a contract. If they do return to work without the contract, writers may walk out again in June when the Screen Actor’s Guild could join them.

William Petersen Featured in Animal Rescue Calendar

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

 arf2008.jpg

William Petersen and his pets are featured on the 2008 Animal Rescue Foundation Calendar.

The full-color calendar measures 12 1/2″ x 9 1/2″ and is sponsored by Nestlé Purina PetCare Company. All proceeds will go to support the foundation. Photographs in the calendar feature each star with one or more animals. In Billy’s case, I believe the picture features all his pets.

The 2008 Calendar includes the furry family members of Carlos Santana, Dwayne Wade and Nicolette Sheridan.

You can snag your copy for $15 at the ARF website. Unfortunately the the cost of shipping prohibits shipping beyond the 50 states.

This isn’t Billy’s first time helping out animal rescue effort. He and his Gina attended a Playboy mansion Animal Rescue event this summer.

Elizabeth Berkley Joins CSI Miami as Horatio’s Ex

Monday, November 26th, 2007

lizberkley.jpg

Elizabeth Berkely has signed on to CSI Miami as Horatiot’s ex, Kyle’s mom. This is a bit of a surprise to me because I thought they’d drag this storyline out for some time before we actually saw Kyle’s mom.

Berkley’s character, Julia Winston, first turns up as a suspect in her billionaire husband’s murder-duh.

It’ll be interesting to see H interact with Berkley. This will be his first blondey love interest. Yelina, Marisol and that irritating attorney lady all have black hair.  Probably one of the reasons I’ve kinda partial to H.  We black haired chicks must stick together.

Another thing to consider is that they signed this key role in the middle of the writer’s strike. Clearly this one of the last episodes before productions shuts, assuming things continue the way they’ve been going. Guess they are trying to get all sorts of bang for their last few bucks.

Berkley’s film credit includes Showgirls,  Any Given Sunday, Curse of the Jade Scorpion and Rodger Dodger.

Call Les Moonves and Support the Writer’s Strike

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

The fabulous Chadini has put together a great script for those who want to support the WGA and possibly help end this strike. Now that I actually have a script, I’m going to make the call.

The phone number for Les Moonves is: 1-212-975-4545

Ok, you have the number and you are ready to call.
The conversation will most likely look something like this:


The Conversation

Assistant to LM: “Les Moonves Office”

You: “Hi. My name is Mary Smith and I am calling from New York, New York.”

And you can just give your first name. Don’t panic. There is no master list that I know of. They are most likely ticking off demographic information – 5 women from Ohio, 2 men from California, etc.

Assistant: ” Uh huh”

You: ” I am a loyal viewer of CSI Las Vegas (and any other CSIs) and I wanted to let you know that I am asking that Mr. Moonves and the other executives come to an agreement with Writers Guild of America and end the WGA strike. The writers are only asking for their fair share of the profits. Also, I wanted to let you know that during the course of the WGA strike, I will not be watching any programs on the internet or watching any replacement programming, nor will I be downloading any episodes, whether through the CBS site or anything else.

Think about an anecdote that will help you seem more like a person and not just a blip on a chart to add here. “My daughter and I look forward to watching CSI every week together.” That sort of thing. Mention that you have now started to watch Without A Trace after the crossover episode. It helps you seem real. Don’t make stuff up, but add things to make it more personal.

Assistant: ” Thank you for your comment.”

You: ” Thank you.”

Here’s are some other things to keep in mind:

  •  The person that answers the phone is not going to fight with you.
  •  Don’t throw around empty threats like, “I’ll never watch CSI again.”
  • Again.  Be nice.
