EgoAssassin.com – Music. Satire. Controversy.

I waited patiently through all the media coverage and high school style gossip over these recent “Writers” Guild strikes and I’m ready to get a few thoughts off of my mouth regarding this meaningless topic. I’ve numbered these ideas in no particular order just to add to your reading experience.

1. I never knew that Hollywood films required a writing staff or even had official scripts for that matter. I’ve seen more creative and well thought out stories in my 6 year old nieces coloring book.
2. I’m sure that the writers had some solid reasons to go on strike, but wasn’t the strike itself a perfect opportunity to find NEW WRITERS who could write something better than the redundant formula Hollywood flick that we see OVER AND OVER AND OVER again. (Thanks Hollywood)
3. Since when did a writer go on strike? I thought the idea of writing was to express freedom, creativity, and emotion through the “mighty pen”. Looks like the almighty dollar wins again!
4. I think just like in many industries, most of these so called “writers” where at the right place at the right time. I am willing to bet that the average schmuck off the street could write a better screenplay than the ridiculous dribble we are pushed every week at the box offices.
5. Come to think of it, isn’t it like 15 bucks just to walk into a film these days? What does anyone in Hollywood have to complain about? Shut the hell up and find a real cause to throw money at.
