On the Deal

DGA website outlines the terms of the director's deal, which seems to be fair enough.

The writers ought to take similar terms for a similar time period (only 3 yrs - a lot shorter than I thought), if they can get it. Rumor is the studios want to punish the WGA for bad faith negotiating and to stick it in their eye for generally being petulant...and might continue to low ball.

Also, cracks in the WGA ranks are being exposed, as moderates want to get back to work and are secretly steaming over the hardheadedness of union leaders. What all this means? Who know?
