Hopefully, the strike will end soon!

The Directors Guild of America today reached an agreement with the major studios that will now put pressure on Hollywood writers to revive talks to end an 11-week-old strike that has roiled Hollywood.

In a new three-year contract, directors negotiated an improved deal than what studios had initially offered writers, including higher royalties for online sales of their movies and TV shows.

For your brother, brother.

With Apple's new downloading movie deal with all the major studios, I think things are looking up.

I hope but I read that the directors have always been in talks, and the writers have not....

we can ask Robin tonight!

The early comments I have been reading from the WGA are very encouraging - plus they are going back into negotiations!

Of course, I predicted this would happen right about now - after the studios had applied force majeure to get rid of all dead wood and unprofitable deals
