The Directors Reach A Deal!!!

Holy shiz!

Very very promising news that the writers strike may be over soon!

The Directors Guild quietly began negotiating with the AMPTP, aka the big media companies, just this month. And they've already reached a deal, it was announced on Thursday. It took them just six days of negotiating.

The writers, on the other hand, have been on strike since November 5th and talks between them and the producers reached a standstill in early December.

Both the writers and the directors were fighting for the same issues (Internet and DVD royalties). Now that the DGA has been able to reach a deal, hopefully the Writers Guild can use that as a blueprint for their own deal.

Big Media has to step up to the plate and begin the talks again, and together the writers and producers need to bring this ugly chapter in Hollywood to a close.

Or this deal with the directors guild could be used to break the writers union. You are either naive or an idealist…but either way, like with Castor, you are going to be wrong, wrong, wrong. This is far from promising.
