What he seems to be worried about is the end of the writer’s union. The end of the union is hardly the end for Hollywood, and might be exactly what Hollywood needs.

The WGA will prevail in this strike. The union is right in its stand, unified in its membership, strong in support from the public, and has already begun making interim deals with individual companies.

Yes, but I have a cousin who’s one of those writers, and I think the terms they are asking for are reasonable. A writer should be paid residuals for presentation of shows in new media. This isn’t a union issue; it’s a property rights issue, as far as I am concerned.

Oh, what ‘filth’ has my cousin (a good Catholic) written? ‘Toy Story 2’.
