The Studios Strike Back At WGA Headquarters
On one front, at least, the AMPTP is being trounced by the WGA: the production of viral videos explaining why thousands of people are gathering in front of Hollywood's studio lots to shout at executive-displeasing volumes, stage impromptu table-reads of substandard, non-Guild material, and throw the occasional Rage Against the Machine reunion concert.
If clips like the one above documenting the single-producer picket line in front of WGA headquarters this weekend continue to proliferate at this staggering pace, the studios may have to seriously consider sending idling development staffers out into the street with camcorders, generating their own counter-sketches depicting greedy "writers" declaring that they won't return to work until they receive a million-dollar residual per iTunes download.
