Curt McGirt Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) Tailgating in movie theater parking lots will be amusing. As I've said elsewhere there is a Buffalo Wild Wings right next to ours so we got a head start! EDIT: Shit... we also have a Schnucks (grocery store), a Thornton's (gas station), a Friar Tuck's (ginormous liquor mart), a Burger King, a KFC, and a Dairy Queen IN THE SAME BLOCK. That's like the perfect storm; they have all the supplies they need right at hand. Edited August 30, 2023 by Curt McGirt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Log Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I haven't really looked into the differences, but why is everyone so mad at Barrymore, Maher (well, other than the million other reasons), etc. when Conan O'Brien started his show up during the '07 strike and was generally praised for getting his crew a payday?

Dolfan in NYC Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Conan was, iirc, basically forced to restart because of his non-writing staff being threatened with immediate termination. He (and Leno) both restarted with permission. Maher at first publicly supported the strike, then started production again. Drew Barrymore's grandmother actually founded the SAG. They both apparently restarted because of boredom and/or money. Neither sought, nor were given permission by the union. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) Maher’s been doing out of pocket “I support my writers but…” rants about the strike on his podcast for a while. Genuinely surprised he backed down. His lengthy tweets about Barbie and the GOP debate scream of psychic trauma of someone who misses his show.
