Well my best birthday present — Besides the gold, diamonds, and large quantities of cash — The strike is over. Yay! Every writer in town has been unable to accept writing work since November 5, 2007. And that goes on down the line, if the writers are not working, no one else […]

Okay — Back to the strike. [It did not go away you know.] I cannot find “Somebody Wrote That” on the Guild site. It has fallen aside or into a chasm or just gone missing. “Somebody Wrote That” is an amazing clip of scenes from films. Scenes people know. Remember. They are memorable scenes. […]
