It's over even in the terms are basically the DGA terms with a couple of minor tweaks? Reading UnitedHollywood it sounds as if the deal, whatever it may be, is being pushed very hard, and I'm not convinced the writers are actually getting a deal worth the pain of the strike.
Based on the tentative summary at Variety, the thresholds on coverage of made-for-new-media, the 17-day window, and the capped residuals on all non-network primetime all look to be huge loopholes for the AMPTP to keep most of the money.
If writers were just better, more compliant wives, the poor studios would not have to beat them so hard.
It's really stunning is how perfectly this actress caught the accent of my family doctor. If I heard this woman on the phone, I'd think Shehla had called me.
Fortunately, though she was trained in ayurveda as well as at the University of London, Shehla has yet to hand me a bottle of oil and tell me to rub rub rub anything. And she wears smartly tailored DKNY suits instead of saris. But the hand gestures, the expressions -- this woman got 'em all down exactly perfectly.
joss is a friggin show runner, and hes basically saying that this deal sucks...and it does
but the wga is telling its membership that since its only for 3 years, it can be tweaked....hahahaha....just like the last deal.
well, the studios get the oscars, tv gets to stop showing reality crap, movies start really getting made again...and the man wins
and all is right with the world
