Music of the Day: Special EFX, Jazz Lambada

Just when you thought things were as bad as they could get, things seem to be getting worse! And worse! And worse! How much worse will things get? Really bad! There’s going to be an actor’s strike! Actors! On strike!

Oh sure, gasoline prices are up to your eyeballs and the economy is in the toilet and it won’t be long before the Iranians have some nukes and don’t eat the tomatoes, they’re poisoned, and health care in this country sucks, and we’re losing the war on terrorism, and the war in Iraq was lost last year, and the only thing we can really hope for now is hope and change and change and hope. But even that won’t save us from the horror of an actor’s strike! It’s coming! Actors! On strike!

No new Adam Sandler movies! No new Oliver Stone movies! No new movies! What will we do? How will we get through the long, hot summer without movies to take our minds off our truly crummy lives here in the United States? Actors! On strike!

The only good news is that the writer’s strike is over—we couldn’t possibly survive a strike that included writers and actors! And, ohmygod, what would happen if the camera-people and sound people and grip-people and stunt-people and caterers and drivers and lighting-people all went on strike along with the actors?!? Why the movie business and the entertainment business and the TeeVee business would all grind to a halt and we’d have to watch re-runs and old movies from way back in 2004 and we’d run out of the good stuff in a day or two, so then what would we do? We might have to read books or engage in conversations or take part in something that wasn’t really all that entertaining! Actors! On strike!
