WGA writers haven't heard anything, and it sounds like there are still issues on the table that need to be worked over and mediated, not to mention the actual language needs to be drafted. I'm still optimistic the strike could be over soon, but, I'm less so now.Charles Jurrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00222749064232908583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031600570354899900.post-70249242827736231252008-02-04T13:35:00.000-05:002008-02-04T13:35:00.000-05:00I'm highly suspect over the "news" that the strike...I'm highly suspect over the "news" that the strike is going to be over soon. The same thing happened in November. "Leaks" assured us that it was a done deal but what really happened was the producers gave the writers a laughable offer.<BR/><BR/>It seems like a posturing ploy to me. The producers puff up their chests and say, "Oh, yeah, this is about to be over" and then they made a ludicrous offer that the writers have to reject. Then the producers shrug and say, "Gosh, we tried our best. We really thought this would end it.." hoping this makes the writers look bad.<BR/><BR/>Of course, this is pure (somewhat paranoid) conjecture on my part. I'm just saying how this LOOKS to me. If word "leaks" out that a deal is in the works and then the writers reject it, they look like they're being difficult and not fighting for their rights. Don't get me wrong: if the stories are true and the stike is over soon, I'll be ecstatic. But I'll wait until official word comes down, as opposed to "leaks."Brian Farreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13752212248460652888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031600570354899900.post-33778214877289861362008-02-04T09:12:00.000-05:002008-02-04T09:12:00.000-05:00How about some review of the Super Bowl ads?
