Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer The Writers Guild of America strike reaches its 100th day on Wednesday, equaling the duration of the last strike with no signs that labor or management is about to back down from hardened positions that have fueled the contract impasse. The WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) had their first meeting in three months on Aug. 4.
But no one emerged with much optimism about getting a deal any time soon, and the war of attrition continues. Chris Keyser and David Goodman, both former WGA West presidents who are co-chairs of the guild’s negotiating committee, issued a statement Aug. 8 calling the 100-day marker “a milestone of shame for the AMPTP.” The atmosphere in the industry went from tense to “civil war,” in the words of a veteran producer, once SAG-AFTRA joined the scribe tribe July 14 in the industry’s first simultaneous labor action by writers and actors since 1960.
Hollywood’s bargaining agent “and their member studios are wholly responsible for the over three month shutdown of the industry and the pain it has caused workers and all others whose livelihoods depends on this business,” Keyser and Goodman stated. “Ultimately, the studios have no choice but to make a fair deal. Until then, we remain resolved and united.” To reinforce that message, the WGA has called for a big turnout of members Wednesday at picket locations in Los Angeles and outside of Netflix offices in Manhattan.
The AMPTP declined to comment. A seasoned industry labor executive painted a grim picture of the mood in the C-suites amid a work stoppage of this scale and length. “It’s this medieval siege,” said Jeff Ruthizer, a former longtime labor relations VP for ABC.

Todd Longwell The locations featured in this year’s batch of shows featuring Emmy-nominated actresses can be viewed in simple terms as diorama boxes or proscenium stages. They are settings that help define and confine characters, such as the near-future dystopian Republic of Gilead (portrayed by Toronto) or — as with the Sicilian resort setting for Season 2 of HBO’s “The White Lotus” — and give them the space explore their truer selves in ways that are alternately freeing and tragic.
When you look at Adam Sandler’s filmography you may either think outrageous comedy or some seriously impressive dramatic turns in movies like Punch Drunk Love, Uncut Gems, and Hustle. But for his latest Netflix flick he is taking a back seat on camera by basically playing the beleaguered dad to his real life daughters Sadie and Sunny Sandler, all in fictionalized roles but nevertheless all still in the family. Sandler’s real influence in You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah is as a producer and in this instance he has brought forward the right creative elements to make this adaptation of Fiona Rosenbloom’s YA book a complete delight.
