Only an hour after I posted the hideous email sent to Cinematical freelancers, I received this email, from Mario Ruiz, senior vice president for media relations for Huffington Post Media Group…
AOL/HuffPo values the voices and input of its writers… just not enough to pay them. So please do continue to do the excellent work you’ve been doing, Cinematical and Moviefone writers, just don’t expect to get paid for it. *grrr*
Zynga’s been teasing its new English farms for ages, and now the farms are finally here. I was able to start mine yesterday… and what do I find as a decoration alloted to me? A police box!
Or, Why not to be a whore for the studios, even though lots and lots of folks are doing it.
