the Writer's Strike is over
I was watching the Late Late Show, which stars Craig Ferguson, whom I admire and enjoy watching.
Jon Favreau, director of Iron Man(!!!!), which is a movie that I am practically shaking myself apart with anticipation, was on the talk program discussing taking his son to the Super Bowl in a private box (in part because he directed Iron Man and there was that Iron Man advertisement in the Super Bowl commercials) and in part because if I recall correctly Vince Vaughn was the one hosting the party.
Jon Favreau mentioned offhand that the Writer's Strike was over, and the conflict has been resolved.
Then he thanked Craig Ferguson on the grounds that the Late Late Show's strike suspension in part put pressure on the other parties involved to resolve their tender issues.
I really don't care except that Jon Favreau lost 80 pounds while creating the awesome movie, which is exceptional for a human being working alongside craft services.
Oh, and various blue collar workers' jobs will be saved by the resumption of work. I don't enjoy the prospect of starving white-collar workers, starving writers, either, but I have no empathy for frustrated writers. I should but I do not .
