LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The final epilogue to the tumultuous writers strike has been written, but Hollywood is bracing for a possible a sequel to the costly walkout -- this one starring film and television actors. While the TV industry has rushed to bring derailed shows back on the air since screenwriters returned to work three weeks ago, the threat of renewed labor unrest by actors in the months ahead has put movie studios in a tenuous situation.

How much more money do those folks want? They already make more money in a month, than we common folk will make in a lifetime.

Actors, as a whole, are the whiniest bunch of over pampered, overpaid, and just plain over the top group of people in the world. They really need to get over themselves already!

We make them the way they are if you think about it... Them along with sports figures... We watch them on TV and in ballparks, and theater screens... Pay an absurd amount of our income to see them, of course they think they are Gods compared to anyone else, that's all we tell them with our pocket books! I have said this before, but I do not have one autograph, I would not walk across the street even to just shake hands with someone I respected, they do not know me, and I do not really know them... Hell, they would think I was bugging them anyways!

So............... we STRIKE !!!!! WE STRIKE! TV is a vast wasteland of late for me, anyway. I really miss being able to sit down for an enjoyable evening of television with David. I find myself watching more reality TV, and less scripted shows. And you guys know how I miss the old format for TV sitcoms. Let's spend all our time on the internet, and less watching the overpaid, over-indulged princes/princesses on the tube and in the movies. YouTube and other video websites are making their own stars, who aren't affiliated with SAG. One day, they are going to run their own star-power into the ground.
