Hollywood writers reach tentative deal with studios to end strike

This means the writers' strike is almost over.
However, the actors are still on strike:
SAG-AFTRA, the union representing Hollywood actors, has been striking since July 14. Among other things, the actors want 2 percent of the total revenue generated by streaming shows.
The resolution of the writers’ strike will not restore Hollywood to normal, as the union representing more than 150,000 actors, SAG-AFTRA, is striking separately and has demands that exceed those of the Writers Guild. No talks between the actors’ union and the studios are currently scheduled.
But the writers’ agreement could expedite negotiations, as some of SAG-AFTRA’s concerns are similar to ones raised by the Writers Guild. Both, for instance, had concerns about the use of artificial intelligence, with actors worried it could be used to create digital replicas of their likenesses (or that performances could be digitally altered) without payment or approval.
Among other things, the actors want 2 percent of the total revenue generated by streaming shows, something that studios have said is a nonstarter. -

Well, hopefully just to fire them for some reason soon enough. If not the writers at least those who sign-off on approval because somebody has got to be blamed for pretty much everything from "Two Broke Girls" till now

There are also too many of those "this is how this item/business was created" movies (e.g., Blackberry, the one about Air Jordans, and even one about a hot Cheeto). Most of the scenes and dialogue are probably made up in those movies anyway.

I don't write the rules (Apparently the writers do!
) but I was wanting my Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds gay-off bromance movie so badly that it was the only thing that bothered me about the stupid strike.
So, silver lining on a cloud of **** then I suppose
