Shamyyy^-^ Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 There is evidently someone who doesn't want to surrender, otherwise I believe that the accord they would already have found it. If Jim and the others didn't sign I fear that the fans could not forgive this choice.. to none of them. These damned money!!! there is who starves and who doesn't succeed in finding a compromise for Million of dollars... I am not saying that it is guilt of someone ... but all this is so unfair.. it's for this that the people are angry, not because they hate Jim or the others Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachelshamyfan Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I'm kind of expecting Jim not to do a selfie today, just depends how negotiations go I guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Such a Hag Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) I am hearing certain things about where he was last night. I heard this event was for McDonald's executives. I don't know if this is something that he planned in advance or if it was a last minute thing. If it was planned in advance then he would have had to say he was just coming in and flying right back out because he didn't know that contract negotiations were going to go this far, right? And if it was a last minute thing, the irony of speaking to McDonalds executive is not lost on me. It might have been an obligation (who can say no to Jeffery Katzenberg?) but I hope if he would have had the choice he would have said no. I also hope there are no Lollapalooza sightings this weekend. I would be a little upset to know that he was tempted with passes and stayed in Chicago instead of going home, working on his contract and hoping to get back to work ASAP. Of course this is all just my honest opinion. *edited to correct ridiculous voice command typos* Edited July 31, 2014 by Such a Hag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlilla Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I think Jim will do selfie today. His instagram is personal, he made a instagram "for us". If he dont do a selfie I will be a little bit dissapointed. He dont have to respond people who is asking him for his contract... He dont have to take a picture everyday,of course,but if he don take a picture today will be weird. But well, I think he will take a picture Sorry for my english please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachelshamyfan Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 What's McDonalds got to do with anything???? Just asking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Such a Hag Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) by the way I hope I am very very wrong and I hope the rumors are also wrong. I hope nothing more than to see a selfie in his kitchen this morning. What's McDonalds got to do with anything???? Just asking stupid voice activation sorry about all the typos.I will get it when I get to my desktop. It also flubbed up my reply about McDonalds sorry. Google: "McDonald's and minimum wage" I think that would help. *also edited to correct ridiculous voice command typos - crikey, never again!* Edited July 31, 2014 by Such a Hag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantagrae Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 The Chicago thing could have been already planned--like he could have done the table read, then hopped on a private jet with katzenburg out to Chicago, then returned either first thing in the morning or that same night, etc. But with the table read being delayed, he could have decided to stay overnight in chicago or whatever. I do hope this crap gets settled today, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantagrae Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I think she means that Jim, whose negotiating for $1mil is appearing at a function for McDonald's execs who are balking at increasing wages for their fast food workers, who start at minimum wage, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Such a Hag Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 If you read my original post - I mentioned irony. I did not mention ties, or even Dreamworks. McD's is embroiled in some heavy duty labor issues - esp. with minimum wage and how it (and franchises) pays it's workers. There was a protest at HQ in late May: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/protest-better-pay-mcdonald-workers-leads-arrests-chicago-article-1.1801256 I heard on the am news another may happen today. Ironic is all. Not the greatest timing is all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickelette424 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I didn't realize that the event was for McDonalds execs. I just saw a few of the pictures on my phone and saw something about Dreamworks on the stage behind Jim. I figured it was a function for Dreamworks/Home.

I don't think there's any connection. Though who knows? Maybe McDonald's is going to be putting Home toys in their Happy Meals next spring.

What?! the table read was postponed again? I'm really sad right now. I have no comment about the show business but I do hope them continue the production as soon as possible. I don't want this to affect the first taping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a Hag Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) I am surprised Melody isn't all over this post. It is true. http://thebazingacast.co/2014/07/30/jim-parsons-jeffrey-katzenberg-in-chicago-for-dreamworks-animation-macdonalds-mlm-leadership-meeting/ Most likely because DW and McD has had Happy Meal Toy tie ins for nearly 10 years? BTW: if Jim posts a selfie from a hotel, I am 10 minutes away from the Hyatt O'Hare. Jus' saying.....
