Ah, fuck.
Talks Day #3 'Stalemated':
There's little more to say about Wednesday's talks other than that, unfortunately. "This is not heading in the right direction," a mogul quoted his labor exec as saying to him yesterday. Another source told me, "It's stalemated. Nothing's getting achieved."
Let's remember that it is mostly rumor. I hear rumors too and they are different. People talking in the halls doesn't mean much.
On a lighter note, The Strike, Your Marriage, and You. Very amusing.

This. Also, regardless of how Day Three went, they all came back this morning for Day Four.
Nikki Finke just put up an "ADVISORY: Breaking Talks News" at 10 AM. So there may be some actual news (good or bad) in...oh...say...six hours.

Great. Now I get to refresh that page every five minutes while pretending to work.
Nikki updated. It's not any real news. Just rumors about maybe what is supposed to happen at today's meeting.
In other industry news, I just received a package from Warner Bros. containing a flash drive with four screenplays on it for my consideration. It's a pretty nifty idea.
Saves on postage! So do you get to make Oscar nominations? Neat.
I don't get to nominate or vote for anything. (Except, I guess, the Writers Guild awards.) But since I'm in the WGA, they send me all the DVDs and invites to screenings, etc..
Plus! Free flash drive! How big is it?
