So, the writers are striking and I saw Tom Cruise on TV over the weekend saying that he hoped the writers and studios could come to an agreement so that they could all get back to what they really want to do, which, of course, is making films. That’s a cute sound bite and all, but I’m going to take it with a grain of salt, considering the fact that T.C. makes twenty million dollars a film and there is an actors’ strike looming as well. But, man, did getting a superstar actor in front of the cameras to say that all he wanted to do was make movies make the writers look small and petty. Well played, Hollywood, well played.
