That only means the talk shows will resume. You'll have to wait for the actors to settle their strike before any movies or series are back in production.

555.

I've attempted E01 at least four times.

All the more reason to hasten AI and CGI, cut the organics out.

That's the price of progress or just a bad lay

All they have to do is turn up and read. It's the writing that takes time.

They can't show up to read when they're on strike though, can they. And what you say isn't always true. The writers strike only immediately affected the talk shows, as many film scripts were written already it was the actors strike that shut down production. Most movies don't get to market until a year after filming is done. There's a lot of cogs in the Hollywood machine that take time. Some scripts are written over a weekend.

FFS even a 30 minute current affairs show like Jon Oliver's has a team of five writers working all week.

Don't talk such bollocks.

Christ, you're delving into backspits level of confidence about things you know nothing about, whilst arguing with someone who actually does.

Enjoy your Game of Thrones binge.

Sorry, I should given thought that you might have worked on Mrs. Brown's Boys or something.

Never heard of it. Is it British?

Harry, John Oliver's writers don't write scripts, they write jokes amd monologues, as well as laying out the format for the show and researching the topics.

I said "some" scripts are written over a weekend, not "all". When you have an episodic series that has been going for numerous seasons, and films 20 episodes a season, the plot lines and characters have already been established. At the start of filming for the season, not all of the seasons episodes have been written. A 30 minute show is really about 22 minutes allowing for commercials. So that is roughly a 22 page script, and lines are actually fairly spaced apart, unlike a book. It can be done, usually due to time constraints, but it can be done.

FYI Jon Oliver has been doing Standup (his original job) during the strike, and donating the proceeds to his writers.

If they are WGA members, they're writers.

A script is a script.

And a joke is a joke, and a monologue is a monologue. And it's the WGA, not the SWGA.

Shush now Harry. Go back to your Game of Thrones binge.

So you're just going to talk crap now.

OK.
