The Best Reason to Keep the Writer’s Strike Going
I never thought I’d say this, because the Hollywood WGA writers on strike should get what they’re asking for, but I’ve found a silver lining in the whole mess. Here it is: It’s just been announced that because of the strike, Sony Pictures has delayed production on “Angels & Demons.” Lovers of this bad, bad Dan Brown book (written before the “De Vinci Code”) need not worry–the movie has not been totally killed. Instead of opening Christmas 2008, it will now open May 2009. But for me, getting those few months of reprieve from seeing Tom Hanks’ DaVinci mullet all over billboards are blessed indeed. Thank you, good-movie gods.
By the way, it’s DiVinci. It is disappointing see to a journalist use her position to bash a book as a response to the writer’s strike. The strike is not about stopping “bad” books from becoming movie scripts. It’s about being fairly paid for the multimedia sales of your work. Here I thought you had something worthy to say about the strike. My mistake.

Angels and Demons is a great book! I don’t know where you get off saying that just because YOU don’t like the book, it’s the best reason to keep the writer’s strike going. I, too, thought you had something worthy to say, but no you clog up space with this crap.
