The AMPTP might try a lockout, but doing so would hang all weight on them.Steve Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00379811212810268091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9501253.post-2790400917023019942007-12-09T18:39:00.000-05:002007-12-09T18:39:00.000-05:00i've been asked to contribute to ghosting somethin...i've been asked to contribute to ghosting something because of the strike.<BR/><BR/>i asked the person who asked me, "do i look that stupid?"<BR/><BR/>thankfully, he didn't answer.<BR/><BR/>to be honest, to make the strike have force, they need the teamsters to go out... that's when you really get the "F*CK YOU!" factor... we are people who sit behind screens or work as basic crew.. they are the large burly people who stop films in their tracks.<BR/><BR/>i'm rambling aren't i?<BR/><BR/>congrats on the film.quin brownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09804746948797234402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9501253.post-82360672041440372592007-11-19T06:59:00.000-05:002007-11-19T06:59:00.000-05:00Congrats on the movie Steve.
