Oh dear, how sad, never mind




Hollywood strike: Hollywood will grind to a complete halt as actors and writers both walk out - it could last for months

This dual strike, the first for 63 years, means the entertainment industry will grind to a complete halt almost immediately.

Without writers and actors, very little can be achieved.

I've fired up my online concern detector but at the moment it reads zero. I've tapped it a few times and put in new batteries but nope - it still reads zero.

Hah! Studios will not be able to lose billions on woke tosh.
Shareholders will be devastated.
Not.

Trouble is, with no circuses, people will start grumbling about the quality of the bread.

Although in retrospect Lockdowns were deeply flawed it was very pleasant to see the roads traffic free and streets devoid of people hurrying to get things done.

I guess that the strikes in the entertainment industry may be a welcome break too.

Your heading my thoughts too.

Doonhamer - woke tosh could hint at some kind of turning point. I hope so.

Sam - they may even wonder where the bread comes from.

DJ - Mrs H mentioned quiet lockdown roads this afternoon as we drove through heavy rain and heavy traffic. Strikes in the entertainment industry certainly would be a welcome break and perhaps genuinely entertaining.

James - yes, a drastic change would be welcome. Simpler, less absurd, less political.

If it means less production of super hero movies, and ultra woke repeats, this strike could be a blessing. Repeats of classics such as The Maltese Falcon or It's a Wonderful Life, instead of Indiana Jones meets Ant and Dec, can only bring smiles to the faces of intelligent people.

Let us hope that TV personalities go on strike in sympathy.

Penseivat - blimey, you've invented the most stomach-churning movie possibility in Hollywood history - "Indiana Jones meets Ant and Dec". I need a large coffee now.

dearieme - and let us hope nobody notices.
