The Strike is NOT Over Yet People
I keep seeing posts in my flist about how the strike is over. Newsflash-nope, not done. In fact, as of last evening the leaders at the WGA and the lawyers for the AMPTP couldn't agree on the language to present at the big WGA meeting today (posts on United Hollywood and Deadline Hollywood Daily). No language, no meeting. No meeting, no chance of the strike being over this weekend. While it could be done as early as Monday, there are no guarantees and listening to Michael freaking Eisner (who hasn't been relevant in Hollywood in a good long time) about whether or not the strike is finished is a bad idea. I'm cautiously optimistic but I was very optimistic during talks in December and look what happened then. It' ain't over 'til the fat lady sings and in this case the lady in question is the WGA leadership. Until they say it's over, it's not over.
