God bless Nikki for warning us that the AMPTP posturing and shenanigans were coming.

The hyperbolic rhetoric is not a good sign. Reality TV, here I stay.

*sigh* I wonder how many interviews are going to keep being "What are you doing next?" "I have no idea until the strike is over." This strike is already hurting the TV industry and the studios/networks need to get on the same page soon.

"Under no circumstances will we knowingly participate in the destruction of this business."

So this means you've finally given up on handing out 3,000+ theatrical screens to straight-to-video crap, and that you're actually going to report news which is relevant to most Americans?
