She’s killing me with this stuff. KILLING me.
Advisory: Breaking Strike Talks Story
I’m still finishing the reporting on it. I’ll get it up as fast as I can.
I’ll update as soon as I see anything new.
UPDATE: I’m still waiting to Nikki Finke’s update, as she’s usually able to give us some great insider glimpses of what is going on. In the meantime, I just noticed this posting over at Variety‘s strike blog:
LA City Council to the WGA and AMPTP: Settle This Thing
Los Angeles City Council president Eric Garcetti has introduced a resolution urging the WGA and the AMPTP to head back to the negotiating table.
As part of the resolution, Garcetti is offering — “free of charge” — L.A. city offices “as a neutral space for the parties to resume discussions.”
The city council — including member Wendy Greuel, a former DreamWorks exec — will consider the resolution at its Wednesday morning meeting (10 a.m., City Council Chambers — Third floor of City Hall).
Considering how much City Hall has played a part in scripts through the years, perhaps a deal there would be fitting.
L.A. officials have reason to push for a swift resolution, as a lengthy strike could obviously hit the city hard. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa earlier offered his services to help with talks, but ultimately wasn’t asked to take part.
This may or may not mean anything, but that seems to be the latest, for now.
UPDATE II: Go here.
I am a moron and cannot figure out how to email the boss of this here website. I thought you might be interested in this article, which contains interviews with some TDS and TCR writers, including Peter Gwinn.

Oh, craaaap. The update’s in and it’s not good.
“Both sides believe they have fresh and ample reasons not to go back into negotiations anytime soon. And by soon I mean months and months and months.” (http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/)
