Yep, I'm one of them....I got pretty used to watching less TV and haven't felt the urge or need to go back. I'm down to less then 4 hours total per week (just American Dad, Family Guy, Simpsons, House, & Criminal Minds)
That will bump up when football season starts...

The top 1% who earn in the millions sure as hell aren't going out of their way to help the other 99% who earn next to nothing for their roles in the film industry. I say let them strike and knock this arrogant industry down a few more pegs.

Guild is just another fancy name for Union. Most people would never question when a Union goes on strike.

It isn't always about the actors trying to get more money. Studios will look for any loophole in a contract to take advantage of actors just so they get a higher profit margin, especially when it comes to background actors (extras). I once worked 13 hours on a set as background and made only $75 for the whole night, and this was not that long ago. Sometimes these loopholes aren't found until after a previous contract has been made, which is why when the contract is due for a renewal, a strike is brought up to fix these problems.

I have no problem with the guilds, but there are a lot of problems with the system. Actors need to get paid but at the same time they don't always earn it. They get paid a lot for what they do, but they aren't always "doing". I think that's the major problem. It isn't like a steady 9-5 job. Anyways, I think Hollywood is in over its head. Everyone wants to live the expensive lifestyle, but actors that aren't top tier can't afford that and I'm afraid that's really what they are going for in Hollywood.

Oh, Jesus Christ, why don't we just tell these assholes to just shut their fucking mouths and deal! They're better off than 99% of the entire FUCKING world, they don't need more money! What, do they need another private jet to fly them across their fucking lawn? Or do they need another set of spinning rims for their Hummers so they can drive to their mailboxes, using up fifty fucking gallons of gas?

You know what? Let's just slash their fucking salaries to the average person's and see how many stay.
