We don’t cover much industry news around here, but, for those of you who care, the Writers Guild of America is threatening to go on strike as of midnight tonight if they cannot resolve their contract dispute with the major studios.
This probably won’t impact reality TV shows, as their “writers” are not usually WGA members, but it will impact scripted television and talk shows (Is Jay Leno funny without writers? We’ll find out!). Most of the films for 2008 and 2009 release have already been scripted, so the impact on film will be minimal for now.
I’d just like to state, once again, for the record, if this strike happens: I AM READY AND WILLING TO WRITE FOR TELEVISION! SERIOUSLY! SIGN ME THE FUCK UP! AND CONSIDER ISOBEL STEPHENS DEAD!
Not that any of you care, but we’ll keep you posted on all this.
Sorry for the brief interruption with boring stuff.
We’ll get back to drunk celebs now.
Yes, please do kill off Izzie! However, if you write her death as an entire episode, drawn out with every last character getting their chance to say good bye, then you will have failed us. It is best that she just leave off screen, like what they did to Burke.
