GET THE BOOK! GET THE BOOK! GET THE BOOK!
To be clear, we hope for a quick resolution to the strikes and stand for our hard-working writers and actors getting paid fairly. Unless, of course, the writers plan on turning out drivel like "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds", which inexplicably is going to have a musical episode or some nonsense. Some people may be concerned that more scripts like "Armageddon" are on the way. Huh, well.....perhaps STUDIOS MUST NEVER CAPITULATE.
Otherwise, in the wise word(s) of Al Pacino as Jimmy Hoffa:
SOLIDARITY! SOLIDARITY! SOLIDARITY!
