On May 2, the Writers Guild of America called for a strike after negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers fell through. The first week was robust with picketing in New York City, Los Angeles and Atlanta, with the striking shutting down productions. As the strike enters a second week, Variety is still reporting from the picket lines.

It was only a matter of time before someone made a short film or trailer spoofing Spike Jonze’s Her – and today we share the best one we’ve seen so far. Directed by Travis Krolicki, Him features actress Laura Eichhorn as a clingy and desperate woman who falls madly in love with her indifferent operating system – named Bert. Funny moments abound as the Eichhorn’s character becomes more enamored with her electronic beau – and as Bert struggles to first interject some reality into the situation (“I’m a computer…”) and then realizes that there’s actually no escape. If you need a few laughs to get you through the day, Him has you covered. Check it out below. [via YouTube] Follow @Horrorgeek...
