The Screen Writers' Show

from Reuters:

'Interest (in reality shows) has become a lot more heated with the strike approaching', said Morgan Langley, a producer of the Fox network's real-life police documentary show 'Cops' and a new spin-off, 'Jail'."

via Variety:

"In an ominous sign, WGA strike captains have been told to instruct guild members to take their personal items home from offices at the end of work today."

People are going to more than simply jones for their missing favorite shows. It may not be pretty. But one thing is certain: The public WILL take notice.

People sans stories and entertainment will have to come to terms with what is already in their heads:

"Just look at the number of wars that have been pursued in the name of God - both historically and in the present - especially by Judeo-Christianity and Islam. It's a consistent fact: The more sexual suppression, the more war." -- Sachiko McLean

There are numerous other quotes and tracts which long bear this out. It has been know for a long long time: strangle the libido, crush sexual desire and outlets, supplant those with guilt and you have bred animosity and hostility and violence. Such sustained sexual oppression erupts as a need to destroy, a drive to kill. That is a long known formula for going to war. So that holding true, we should be seeing signs of war in society. Signs of violence. Signs of killing.

So it comes as little surprise that the banner at IMDB today is for the new action thriller "WANTED". But is the movie simply pandering to our government programmed passion to kill? Could it be more sinister than even that?

What if this programming goes to the original design of the Government's MKULTRA?

The ultimate design of that revealing project was addressed by the movie (again we thank script writers) in "The Manchurian Candidate 1962" and 2004, where people are programmed to unthinkingly carry out government instructions to assassinate.

Of course the opposite is also true: Restore sensuality back to society and the violence should abate. That is as easy as restoring the First Amendment. Or by winning over the Script Writers, which ever comes first.

Script writers have so much power. So so so so so much power. I know I want them on our side.

Screen Writers Strike? Oh My!

from the New York Times:

The Writers Guild of America’s contract covering 12,000 writers for television and film expires tonight.

'11th hour is at hand; talks go on', The Hollywood Reporter’s headline says today. Negotiations between the guild and the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers resume at 10 a.m. Pacific time, and 'the WGA is expected to present an updated proposal', the Associated Press reports."

My favorite TV show is E-Online's "Keeping up with the Kardashians", arguably starring Kylie and Kendall Jenner and co-starring their father, Olympic Gold medalist Bruce Jenner, along with the rest of their family:


In one fine episode, family members are flown to an exotic photo shoot location aboard the private jet belonging to First Amendment front liner, Joe Francis, before it was seized, recently.

My favorite major theatrical release movie is Pretty Baby (1978):


Now with all that time on their hands, why can't WGA writers all get together and collaborate on writing some epic OMNIMAX® remake of the spectacular Pretty Baby, in remonstration of the times?

It would appear that all that politically correct money for show types like "24" seems to be running thin. Why wouldn't it be? Numerous other bellwethers are pointing to a general economic slowdown. People are going to need escapism more now than ever. And the WGA shouldn't simply be a propaganda arm of government, anyway. Scripts should mean something.

Write really meaningfully and hey, I'm all for you. Oh yeah, good job on "The Simpsons".
