The Writer's Strike is OVER!

This is just a quick post to celebrate the fact that the WRITER'S STRIKE IS OFFICIALLY OVER! Hurrah!

Now Hollywood can get back on it's feet, the movie scripts can start churning out again, and we can all plan our evening of February 24th around the Academy Awards ceremony.

At the same time, this is an excellent point to stop and reflect on the fact that the people in the strike are actually just ordinary workers, not multi-millionaire stars. Furthermore, the strike affected many people beyond the writers themselves. Here is a really interesting article I found on Christianity today...

I bring this up because it is SO easy for those not involved in the entertainment business to label and judge those who are. We forget that they are real people like ourselves, trying to make their way in the world. They just happen to have career paths that require more publicity than ours.

And it's also really cool to see the Christains who are involved behind the scenes! Anyhow, check it out...

EDIT: If this post is rather loosely organized, it's because I'm getting sick, and I'm not sure that my brain is working quite right. But this was important news to post, so I went ahead and wrote this up...

Wow! Well I for one am glad that is over. I totally agree with their right to strike, but I'm sure it was not a pleasant process for anyone.
