house md · season 4 You spend your whole life looking for answers… Because you think the next answer will change something, maybe make you a little less miserable. And you know that when you run out of questions, you don't just run out of answers. You run out of hope. You glad you know that?

Writers Strike [Explained]

Transcript

[Cueball sits in front of a desk with a computer. Black Hat stands behind him.] Cueball: This writer's strike sucks. Black Hat: Why? You don't watch sitcoms. Cueball: Yeah, but it sucks having political campaigns without Jon Stewart's commentary.

[Cueball is off-panel.] Black Hat: True. I finally got sick of it a couple weeks ago. Cueball: And you quit following the campaigns?

[Black Hat points at a door. Cueball is still off-panel.] Black Hat: No. I kidnapped Jon Stewart to do analysis for me. Cueball: You what? Black Hat: He's locked in the basement.

[Black Hat is shouting at the door. Black Hat: Jon! Obama's leading in Iowa! Gimme a wry, witty comment on the situation! Jon Stewart [Voice coming from door]: Please let me go. I have a family.

Beastly (2011, Daniel Barnz)

19/01/2024

Beastly is a 2011 film written and directed by Daniel Barnz.

Based on the novel of the same name by Alex Flinn, the film is a modern and youthful reinterpretation of the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast.

Kyle thus gradually understands that beauty is not essential to be loved: an increasingly close relationship is born between the two until, while she is leaving for Machu Picchu, they declare their love for each other.

In December 2007, CBS Films purchased the film rights to Beastly, putting it in development as the first project in a long list of swallowed-up productions, also taking other HarperTeen titles in option.

The filmmakers had a production-distribution plan that aimed for a theatrical release as early as 2008, but the start of the screenwriters' strike (2007-2008) canceled the strategy, delaying development.

In February 2009 it was announced by Amy Baer, president and executive director of CBS Films, that Alex Flynn's novel Beastly would be adapted for the big screen by Daniel Barnz, in charge of directing and writing the screenplay. Susan Cartsonis with her Storefront Films and Roz Weisberg are approached to co-produce the film.

The film's main song, Broken Arrow, was composed by Pixie Lott. Furthermore, from the twenty-first to the twenty-third minute, the plot is set in a masquerade party: here the basic music is Boys and Girls by Pixie Lott herself. In addition to these two songs, a song by the famous artist Lady Gaga, namely Vanity, is also used.

La Idea published the Italian trailer of the film on 8 April 2011.

Beastly was listed as the 45th best film of 2010 in The Times magazine's "The 50 Biggest Movies of 2010".

At the end of the book Linda and Kyle return to school, while at the end of the film they leave for Machu Picchu.

I would love for someone to tell me the story of how 2007 writers strike affected the CW’s Supernatural. I am laying on the ground with my chin in my hands and I am kicking my feet. My eyes are sparkling up at you bc I know I could look this up but I want story time.

[doesnotloveyou]

Ugh, dreading the glut of reality TV that will come out during the strike. not again

[rorykillmore]

(someone i know to be several years younger than me claims they remember how dire the 2007 writers strike was) no you don’t. no you do not. you were in 3rd fucking grade my child
