Say it ain't so!
Remember when it was the Writers Guild (WGA) versus the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers (AMPTP)?
Well now it's the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) againt the AMPTP!
In other words, actors (all of them!) might go on strike, which is very, very bad news for us, the audience.
SAG's current deal expires June 30, so we all knew talks were going on. However, we also all hoped that they'd end amicably and there wouldn't be another strike. Well, as of Tuesday afternoon, talks between the alliance and the union shut down, as the AMPTP called SAG's demands for higher residuals from DVDs and Internet content "unreasonable."
Yes, this is pretty much the same argument that went on between the WGA and AMPTP. How come both sides didn't learn their lesson from the strike we just went through? So many people were out of work, and we were out of entertainment.
Fingers crossed this gets resolved quickly.
