I hope so, not that I care, I'm just sick of hearing about it.
And before you rag on me for being shallow and what not, I say that with those in mind who work alot harder for alot less and have no such ability to protest their boss without finding a place on an unemployment line.

"The facts: we are still in talks and do not yet have a contract. When and if a tentative agreement is reached, the first thing we will do is alert our membership with an e-mail message. Until then, please disregard rumors about either the existence of an agreement or its terms.
Until we have reached an agreement with the AMPTP, it is essential that we continue to show our resolve, solidarity, and strength."
Exactly! the strike is NOT over yet, this is a tentative deal only and it's not official until the ink on the paper drys!
This tv season is gone and done with they've already stated that so whatever new episodes are being shown to the viewing audiences were already done and filmed before the strike started.
We are not out of the woods yet but it's at least some light at the end of the tunnel.

While I sincerely hope the best for the writers, animators, and other various and sundry crew- anything that keeps another piece of waste like Transformers off the screen is good by me. Hopefully the plastic "movie themed" chunks standing in for good transformer toys will be pulled from shelves, and we'll get classics and animated soon.
If great toy lines like those keep coming, why should I want another terrible movie with ugly robots, lame jokes, vapid actors, rabid product placement, military advertisemnts, and a painfully bad script?

Hey all,
I am doing an article for my school news paper, and I was wondering when this new contract might be in effect, and if it would stop the delay on the new movie. Thanks a lot,

The new contract is still tentative and it's not really official yet so things could still fall apart but from what I've learned it's looking pretty good so I doubt it will fall apart.
June 2nd 2008 is the deadline for them to have a script or at least enough to start working with, they had been working on some of it before the strike but nobody knows how far along they were.

What I do not understand is these "writers" want more money and more control of what they do, yet they have come up with the most non-creative crap on TV! There are no new ideas and concepts, everything now is a rehash of something from the 1980's. I think the writers have zero to NO talent and then they expect more money? Give me a break! I used to work within the Hollywood industry and I can tell you that these writers just sit around all day until they have a "brainstorm" and then put their thoughts to paper....If they had actually come up with something unique instead of garbage, then maybe they would get more money....I cant wait for the day when the motion picture industry and TV goes out of business.....that day is coming and the studios know that! With technology the way it is, their days are numbered! More people watch youtube than network TV...that tells you right their that im right! =)

Could it be?
IS IT OVER??!!
Link!
As it stands now, it's probably only a matter of HOURS before the strike is over and done with! There is still a chance the WGA turns down the offer, but sources say they are likely to take the deal!
So it looks like Transformers 2 will be back on track, without any delays
IS IT OVER??!!
Link!
He [Michael Eisner, former Walt Disney chief exec.] says: "It's over. They made the deal, they shook hands on the deal.
"I have some friends in certain places and I believe there was a handshake last Friday… it's possible they (the writers) will turn it down but it would be insane if they turned it down."
