Strike Recycling

Urgent! Dying to refresh and find Nikki Finke's strike ending triple alarm salute.

Fingers crossed tight for Saturday.

If Peter Chernin wasn't psyching us out from his Superbowl box, we're finally at the end – and historical perspective is mind bending.

Here, time traveling journalist Joan Didion exposes top secret AMPTP blueprints in a precise play by play of the current strike. Written in 1988. Spooky.

Who knew the moguls would pass down their exact playbook like a frat house cheat code? Who knew Paul Mazursky was such a class whore back then? Who has time to read so many words? Hopefully, after Saturday's showdown at the Shrine, not the writers anymore.

Want more wayback machine? Jump ahead to 07:36 in the code of this old timey news clip for next week's top story.
