Lost in the re-write

They may have read the script version for Orwell’s Animal Farm, but the editor must have cut some parts out.

As the Screen Actors Guild gets set to begin contract negotiations with the major Hollywood studios — and tries to avert a crippling strike like the recent walkout by writers — the union first must address some strife within its own ranks.

Hollywood’s largest creative guild said late Tuesday it plans to begin labor negotiations with the major movie studios and television networks April 15, more than two months before its contract expires June 30.

Some actors want to prevent those who work less frequently from voting on the contract.

All actors are equal. And some are more equal than others.

I said before that the writer’s strike was one of the best things to happen to America. This would be at least two-fold as good.

    Sods!
