The big sticking point? The Writer's guild wants the right to sympathy strike when the directors and actors face this same set of issues in a couple months. 2008 is looking to be the year Hollywood died. Perhaps the actors, writers, and directors will migrate north to Silicon Valley and YouTube will get some original content. Who knows? As long as the money people are unwilling to pay the creative people, what's the incentive?
