Alright people. My blog is normally bla bla sad/serious/angry/argh, so today I’m bringing the noise, the funk and the laughter … today I am embedding the FANTASTIC videos WGA writers and their friends are producing in response to the WGA strike. I am kind of hoping that the strike won’t end because these videos are so much better than the TV these writers are sometimes forced to produce! (So, if the writers are so talented why is TV mostly a suckfest?) Anyway, I’m taking this moment to be dazzled by the proliferation of great and completely free media that is being produced by some very talented artists.
We’ll start with “How I Spent My Digital Download Residuals”:
In honour of the real Toronto Police who read my blog not once but twice last week, we have the WGA Police:
The Not Daily Show from the sidewalk, for those of you missing your daily fill:
Speaking of what TV is going to look like if the writer’s don’t go back to work, here’s what your tv shows are gonna look like if the writers don’t make it back:
How great film moments would have turned out if they had been written by amateurs (for film buffs, mostly):
Because I believe in FOX-style fair&balanced news, I share with you a vision from the AMPTP side:
Oh yes, a LOVE STORY! (worth watching to the end!):
Okay, I couldn’t resist something serious! Tell Congress to stop big media from getting even bigger (ahem murdoch):
FINALLY, this video is mostly here because Sandra Oh is the sexiest woman on television (lucky for her, Lucy doesn’t want to be an actress):
I should add that while I support the writers in their efforts to get a piece of the pie, I really wish that they’d consider a whole new way of making art. Maybe I don’t love the TV shows I watch as much as my time spent viewing might indicate? Hmmm …
