The problems is that they've all been living off of the fat of the pig so long that, given the opportunity to really CREATE art and express themselves, they're AT A COMPLETE LOSS (especially the writers). Why haven't the writers moved to the internet? Because the greedy bastards would rather lay back and get paid six figures to put out the crap that Hollywood generates. I, for one, hope they strike for MONTHS - let them have to FIGHT for something for a change and PROVE themselves online.</p> I lived and worked in LA with writers and producers for years.

It’s one of those things were the guilds should be encouraging their members to try and make web stuff on their own.

The studios are trying to get more for less, and the guilds are fighting it, but what if every writer had their own AskANinja?
