Addresses in Print

So, I've already talked about the pencil drive for fans to support the writers. (That's ongoing, and the first delivery is up on YouTube. Pretty darn funny.) I also mentioned yesterday the MoveOn online petition. flamesrising logically noted that online petitions are easier to ignore than actual letters. The pencils are a gimmick that may or may not work. So he recommended actually having addresses available for people to write letters.

Quite happily, the WGA East have provided all of the addresses for studio heads on their Web site. So the information is out there.

In other news, Harry Sloan of MGM mentioned the strike while talking about Peter Jackson agreeing to take on making The Hobbit. He says, "As far as The Hobbit, yes, it’s going to have an affect because we need the strike to get settled. We’ve got Peter Jackson, which is the biggest point here, but now Peter and the other writers who will be involved can’t write. So we’ve got to get this strike settled."

Ideally, Mr. Sloan realizes that getting the strike settled requires actual cooperation and compromise, rather than bull dozing and stalling tactics. We'll see.

I have logic? When did that happen?

Thanks for the link/info. That will come in handy. I'm sending out some postcards.

Didn't you always? Or have I had a faulty impression of you? ;)

I read on Slashdot that Peter Jackson agreed to take on The Hobbit as well as the sequel to it...

Last I checked, the sequel was Fellowship... That news had me a little... bothered. I suppose he could be talking about Unfinished Tales or something like that, but it still worried me that it was becoming a case of milking a franchise.

I'm very much hoping that the sequel just means they're filming The Hobbit in two parts.

My rumor-mongering friends are of the opinion that it's one movie of The Hobbit and one made from the back-story (or rather, middle-story) material in all the appendices to The Lord of the Rings. Which sounds plausible and potentially interesting, albeit also potentially catastrophic.

wolf: Let him milk it for all it's worth. Those LOTR movies were the three best movies I have ever seen. If the Hobbit movies are half as good, I will be quite happy.
