I just laugh at these "white collar" unions. I don't really like unions in the first place, but I can see/sympathize their function in a blue collar job. They just want more money, who are you kidding. It's not like they can't afford health care, ar they are dying of black lung. What am I not understanding?

No Keira...? Tho, I think she would be easily persuaded off the strike, she said in an interview once that she'd like to be an ordinary woman so she could have sex as much as she'd take without the tabloids writing about it. Tell everyone not to hire her anymore and I could volunteer to be her toy. :hmm:















Anyone know her agent's number?

That's okay dowly, there are lots of other good websites out there to keep you entertained during this time of crysis. Although, some of them may involve goats, guinea pigs, or other barnyard animals.

Oh, I heard Keira wasn't into gamers anyway.

I'd go "hog wild" for dowly!

I don't mind actors. Some of them are good, some of them are bad. They do make a valuable product though. But I really can't stand it when they use their media reach to try and advise people on world affairs. FFS sake, there's a reason you're an actor and not a foreign affairs specialist.

For laughs:

I didn't even look at the article to see what the strike is about, I don't care. The whole industry can collapse for all I care. Maybe those people will go find useful jobs instead.

Nothing changed in history here. In Rome, it was the gladiators though most of them were slaves, they were still highly regarded.

I'll be terribly upset if Nicolas Cage goes on strike that means no good movies in the near future.

Beats me how the top actors/actresses can get up to 25million per movie :hmm: Who was that actor who died few years ago that said acting is the easiest profession theres nothing to it.

The most depressing thing about rates of pay for entertainers/sportsmen is that their employers, being good capitalists, are simply paying the 'going rate'. As with all companies, the employees are being paid the lowest that the bosses can get away with. Says some pretty damning things about priorities in our society, doesn't it?

[Sailor Steve]

I think one point is being missed here. As Clive pointed out, big names in all industries get what they demand, if the people paying for it think the big name will draw in big money. SAG isn't just about the big names. The ones demanding more are the rank-and-file, the extras and small-time character actors. The big names support them because they were once there, and also because they still belong to the union.

I'm not defending them - those extras make a lot more than I do. I'm just trying to give it a little perspective.

I guess the bad economy and high gaz prices are affecting there rich life style.:hmm: I guess they have to tighten there belts like the rest of us.
