WGA Zagat Guide to the Studios
Posted on 12 December 2007.
This was amusing–even reading it from Bali–so I thought I’d post it. I’m going to do a long take on labor and climate change–it just may be after I get back this weekend (it’s hard to get time to do thinking and writing here). So, in the meantime…a Zagat-style take on the studios written […]

Posted on 08 December 2007.
