After 118 days of the actors guild being out on strike, SAG-AFTRA and the studios on Wednesday reached a tentative deal on a new contract that could see Hollywood up and running again within weeks.

The strike will be over as of 12:01 a.m. PT on Thursday, November 9, we hear, putting an end to more than seven months of labor unrest in Hollywood that saw the Writers Guild and SAG-AFTRA hit the picket lines in the industry’s first joint strike in more than 60 years.

Culminating a dramatic day of studio earnings results and deadline ultimatums, the actors guild’s 17-member negotiating committee unanimously voted this afternoon to recommend a tentative agreement to the SAG-AFTRA board.

Saw the new Ghostbusters
I enjoyed it, the audience gave it lots of love, 1 after credit scene

I live 45 miles away from the nearest movie theater so I have to wait for DVDs or Streaming to see films, but I am looking forward to this one.

I've been on the fence on Ghostbusters. Is the after credit scene worth staying for?

It's "fun," but mileage may vary.  It's more of a giggle-esque moment than any sort of integral thing (I think the previous film's mid-credits scene w/Murray & Weaver was a LOT more fun, and the post-credits scene was more sentimental & integral to setting up future stories, as was paid off in the new film).

I'm also on the fence about Ghostbusters as a franchise that seems to have one legit-great first film, and different degrees of "entertaining" with the sequels.  To get into the mood for the new movie I did spend time last weekend watching the other Ghostbusters films, and I still may think that Ghostbusters II is the worst sequel, with the reboots being either "fine" or "good-not-great" depending on my mood that day.  All have some good moments and legit funny moments, but all the sequels also have their problems.
I do think if they continue this franchise as-is, with similar characters and whatnot, they need to maybe pair down the cast a bit.  But that's just me; we'll see how this one does at the box office.
