Writers strike

So it looks like tomorrow Hollywood writers go on strike. The issue: not being able to get a piece of the internet. It's gonna be a long fight and why shouldn't it be? The internet is bringing in big revenues. Why shouldn't writers get a piece of the pie? They have long been considered the bottom of the food chain but there is no basis for it.

Consider this:

1. A good movie can be made from a good script.
2. A bad movie can be made from a good script.
3. A good movie can't be made from a bad script.

The moral: do I really have to spell it out?

So one of my teachers is telling us that this strike is our chance to sell some of our work? Umm, hello is this prof crazy?

1. If you sell something during a strike you'll be lucky if any union will ever let you belong.
2.You'll never be able to put any of the scripts you sold during the strike on your resume. If you do, no on will ever consider you again.
3. You will be blacklisted. Believe me. This has happened to many.
4. The only point would be to make some $$$. And ya we gotta feed the monkey but as writers isn't it all really about the art?

That's all I got for now.
