WGA Update
According to a post on ONTD,
"Really smart people have told me that if this walkout doesn't settle in the next few weeks, say, by December 15th, then there may not be an incentive for the moguls to settle it until June when the Screen Actors Guild contract expires. As for the Director’s Guild, whose contract is up next June as well but will settle it sooner, everyone expects the DGA to fold like pup tents: no shocker there. In film, the studios prepared for this labor action starting two years ago. But I broke the news pre-strike that the Big Media and Hollywood CEOs viewed this TV season as a total loss and welcomed the walkout as an automatic "do-over" that would allow them to regroup and then refashion their business models. At the same time, the writers guild two years ago began to draw a line in the sand on New Media and Internet which they're etching deeper with every turn on the picket line."
Modern entertainment is crumbling ALL BECAUSE THEY WON'T GIVE THE DAMN WRITERS WHAT THEY'RE OWED.
