Wed Jan We Report. Very quickly and without warning downtown New York is destroyed by the monster. Cloverfield was truly made by California movie people. No one in New York would ever be this insensitive. But I suppose I m being too sensitive. After all was six freakin years ago Get over it Cloverfield is just commercial entertainment. It s the perfect winter doldrums popcorn fest. Hence Cloverfield ends abruptly and leaves a lot of questions unanswered. Give them points for that. No one knows what the outcome will be of a strike that began on October . Yet everyone has a different idea. Producer Gil Cates insists they will happen one way or another. But down deep everyone knows this is not possible. Some insiders are hoping that the Directors Guild will announce a new contract with the studios today or tomorrow. That they say will force the WGA to accept similar terms and return to work. We ll throw them a bone says this studio insider so they save f! ace. After all the WGA has gone this far say some local philosophers. They re not going to back down so fast. Of course then there is the issue of financial pressure. There is talk of writers in danger of losing their homes. People are suffering and not only in the union. The strike creates a domino affect. Truthfully the town is silent. You can hear the wind whistling down Wilshire Boulevard. You can get a reservation in any restaurant one agent said yesterday. The clock is literally ticking now. On the picket line near Warner Bros. in Burbank I heard plenty of conflicting opinions the other day. Older writers are in it for the long haul. They have enough savings and they know how important it is to get the new media payments sorted out. Younger writers are not so sure. They re just starting out and they re not so well paid in the first place. Impatient to earn a living and sell some projects the new generation doesn t care much about the internet. It s i! ronic because you d think they would understand its grasp all the more.. Some writers have gone back to work anyway. This is frowned on and the soap scribes are unpopular. CBS s Guiding Light on the other hand is all on strike. Scabs are writing scripts. And the estimates of an ending April says one writer. Mid February answers my studio guy. One thing s for certain though. Tue Jan Vignette StoryServer . com and FOX News Radio. Advertising Specifications PDF .

I've pretty much been doing nothing worth mentioning. I just don't have anything to say lately. I haven't gotten anything done today, but pfft. I guess it doesn't bother me. Shrug. I haven't been up to anything lately, but what can I say?
