February 1, 2008
We have started another month and heading towards 3 months of life for the message board.
Thank you all for posting . My idea for the board was not just to hear about me but other topics of
worldly stature that all could relate to and have a community grow.
Little by little that seems to be taking place.
There still is a writers strike so any new work related to myself will not start until the strike is over.
How about Led Zeppelin at 0Z on 12/10/2008.
In two days we have The Patriots Vs. The Giants in Super Bowl 42
Super Bowls bring people together.
I am a New Yorker ( Jet Fan ) ~ 1/12/1969 and then..................
Anyway I wish the Giants well but I admire the Machine The Patriots have built and do not see them losing.
The movie "There Will Be Blood" riveted me like no movie has since Al Pacino's disciplinary scene in Scent Of A Woman.
Daniel Day-Lewis performance was like no other acting I've scene ~ Can you say Oscar.
Actor Heath Ledger death was a sad day.
I'm older then he was but related to him due to his elder way
of coming across on screen and in interviews.
I saw myself in him.
Now as in most cases his legend
will become just that ~ legend.
His performance in Batman as the joker due out summer of 2008 will be
his final public appearance and is brilliant as I have read.
He will now remain forever young.
This is the most information I have written for
"A message from Peter Austin Noto"
Maybe because of the strike I have a little more time and us actors always need to create.
Until the next time everybody ~ Have fun and don't forget to leave a post on your way out.

After reading the post Peter wrote I was getting welled up myself. Peter seems to be a timeless soul. he is getting more sexier with age.
I understand his feelings towards Heath Ledger relating to him even though in age older.
Sweet.
Hope with news of writers strike possibly ending will equal more Peter news and would make this board explode with excitement.
Good Day All |

molly hopper 2 meeting on Saturday |
2-7-2008 2:16 PM |
It seems there's a meeting on Saturday to see if the writers strike comes to a end or continues.
I'm sure Peter is as eager as anyone to have the strike over so he can continue on what he does which is act
and in most cases create magic out of thin air.
Being a actor to me is the ultimate challenge of ones creativity and business sense.

Eisner Says Deal Reached to End Writers' Strike, CNBC Reports
By Nancy Moran
Feb. 8 (Bloomberg) -- Michael Eisner told CNBC that an agreement was reached Feb. 1 to end the Hollywood writers' strike.
``It's going on Saturday to the writers in general,'' the former Walt Disney Co. chief executive officer told the financial news network during its ``Fast Money'' program last night. He didn't elaborate on terms of the accord between media companies and the Writers Guild of America.
Writers for film and television walked off the job Nov. 5, after earlier negotiations broke down over pay for the use of writers' work on the Internet and on mobile devices.

RETREAT IN HOLLYWOOD Deal may end US writers strike |
2-8-2008 12:52 PM |
Deal 'may end US writers' strike'
There is optimism that the writers' strike in the US could be resolved at the weekend, according to reports.
It is expected a three-year deal will be presented to writers on Saturday, aiming for ratification by Sunday.
The Writers Guild of America (WGA) has been conducting confidential talks with studio bosses to resolve the dispute, which began on 5 November.
Scriptwriters want to be paid more for films and TV shows that are downloaded from the internet or sold on DVD.
The Los Angeles Times said guild leaders would put the contract to thousands of members at two meetings in Los Angeles and New York.
Approval
If accepted, the WGA's board could approve the contract on Sunday and urge writers back to work the following day, the newspaper added.
But industry journal Variety said there was some concern from guild members about the potential deal.
"I'm going to hear what they have to say on Saturday before I decide," striking writer Jim Kouf told the publication.
"I do not want us to prematurely accept a bad contract, after everything we've been through."
Any deal would have to be approved by a majority of the guild's active members, which number more than 10,000.
If agreement is reached, studio executives said it would take about two months for new programmes to emerge.
Some experts calculate episodes could cost an extra $200,000 (£102,700) each because of the extra costs to restart production.
Cancellation risk
Studios will have to decide which of the 65 affected series will come back, with hits House, CSI, Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives likely to get priority.
Other series including Cane and Bionic Woman are at risk of cancellation, according to the LA Times.
Movies have been less severely affected because they have longer production times.
Two high profile productions, the Da Vinci Code prequel Angels and Demons and Johnny Depp's Shantaram, could be up and running quickly.
A deal would also guarantee that this month's Academy Awards ceremony will take place as planned on 24 February.
The strike has hit film and TV production across the US and caused the cancellation of last month's Golden Globes awards ceremony.

LYNN ELBER Writers Strike Could See Last Chapter |

Writers Strike Could See Last Chapter
By LYNN ELBER
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The now 3-month-old Hollywood writers strike could enter its final chapter Saturday when guild members gather in Los Angeles and New York to consider a proposed contract.
If writers respond favorably, the walkout that has devastated the entertainment industry could end as soon as Monday. Writers were wavering between hope and skepticism as they prepared to learn details of the deal for the first time.
"The feeling is relief and optimism and excitement," said Hilary Winston, a writer for the NBC sitcom "My Name Is Earl."
Still, she couldn't shake her lingering anxiety.
"I hope this deal made this three months worth it," she said.
Writer Erik Oleson, who watched a deal for a TV pilot fall apart during the strike, was reserving judgment.
"I'm not going to drink the Kool-Aid and accept a bad deal. I'd rather continue the strike," Oleson said. "We saw a press release but what matters is the fine print."
If members show strong support for the deal, the union could quickly lift its strike order, allowing dozens of TV shows to return to production and putting thousands of actors, crew members and others back to work.
An end to the strike might also salvage the Feb. 24 Academy Awards show, which is now facing a possible boycott by writers and sympathetic actors. The writers union has given a picket-free pass to Sunday's Grammy Awards.
The Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents studios, have not publicly commented on the proposed contract because of a joint media blackout.
Michael Eisner, a former Walt Disney Co. chief executive, told CNBC the proposed deal was good enough to end the strike.
"It's impossible the writers will turn it down," said Eisner, whose successor at Disney, Robert Iger, was among the studio chiefs who helped shape the proposal with leaders of the writers guild.
The most contentious issue in the talks was residual payments for TV programs and movies distributed on the Internet.
"Within the next five years, most American televisions will be connected to the Internet. The shows and movies you watch on your TV will be downloaded or streamed," the union said in its strike fact sheet.
Some accounts suggest the proposed deal involving the 12,000-member union and the world's largest media companies improves on a contract agreement reached last month by studios and the Directors Guild of America.
Directors won several key concessions on new media, including payments for downloaded TV programs and movies based on a percentage of the distributor's gross.
The writers guild, however, has been seeking 2.5 percent of distributor grosses from Internet-delivered projects — about three times what the directors guild got in its deal.
Writers also balked at the maximum $1,200 flat fee that studios agreed to pay directors for streamed, ad-supported programs.
Writers won't vote Saturday on the proposed contract but will have a chance to voice their support or opposition at the closed meetings.
An e-mail circulated by a strike captain urged pro-deal members to attend so union leaders wouldn't hear only from opponents.
Other e-mails to guild members said a favorable response by writers would be followed by a Sunday meeting of the guild negotiating committee to consider lifting the strike order and scheduling a formal membership vote by mail.
"I hope Monday is when this town gets going again," Winston said. "If it's not Monday, I'll take Wednesday."
Warren Leight, an executive producer in New York for NBC's "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," doesn't think writers will be swayed by high-profile colleagues who have trumpeted the directors deal as a solid template for writers.
"If the deal works, everyone is ready to go back to work. But it has to be discussed by 10,000 people, not by 30 show runners and wannabe A-listers," Leight said.
Among the show runners — industry slang for executive producers in charge of a series — who lauded the directors deal was John Wells, whose credits include "ER" and "The West Wing." He termed it, "Very good. For writers, for directors, for the future."
A quick end to the walkout might result in TV viewers seeing a more new episodes of their favorite shows this season. A script takes about three weeks to write and about 40 working days to produce, so it could take as long as two months for the first new shows to air, Leight said.
But once a production has scripts and is up and running, episodes are worked on concurrently and an hour-long show can be produced within eight days, he said. That could allow an hourlong drama to return with perhaps a half-dozen new episodes, and a half-hour comedy to squeeze in as many as seven new shows for the rest of the season.
Networks, however, are likely to pick and choose among shows, with low-rated newcomers less likely to get deals for more episodes than a series like "Grey's Anatomy," which has a big, faithful audience.

Hollywood writers union leaders meet to approve strike deal
1 hour ago
LOS ANGELES (AFP) — Leaders of Hollywood's screenwriters union will meet later Sunday to formally endorse a deal which will end the entertainment industry's three-month long strike, union officials said.
The Writers Guild of America (WGA) board will approve a three-year contract package before holding a two-day ballot of the union's 12,000 members early next week to ratify the decision.
Reports had speculated writers would return to work on Monday, but union leaders decided to put the issue to a vote of the rank-and-file membership despite broad support for the deal, guild officials said.
That means film and television writers are now expected to be back at their keyboards on Wednesday, bringing to a close the most serious labor dispute to hit the US entertainment industry in decades.
WGA members met in New York and Los Angeles on Saturday to go over the fine points of the proposed new deal, agreed after months of bitter wrangling with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP).
The deadlock was broken after agreement was reached on the issue of payment for content broadcast free or bought over the Internet.
Under the proposed three-year contract, the writers share of movies and televisions shows sold online would be doubled.
For content streamed free over the web, writers will get a fixed payment of 1,200 per year for one-hour webcasts for the first two years, followed by two percent of any revenues earned by the distributor in the third year.
"The reason for this strike was to make sure we had coverage of the Internet, that it didn't become a guild-free zone, and I think we accomplished that," Warren Leight, executive producer of "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" told Sunday's Los Angeles Times.
The strike deal received enthusiastic backing by WGA members who attended a meeting in Los Angeles late Saturday.
"We should say yes to it and move on," said Craig Wright, creator of television series "Dirty Sexy Money." "I said yes to it already."
"Multiple, multiple standing ovations for the negotiating committee," said writer Peter Lance following the meeting.
"People were extremely relieved and satisfied," another writer James Bannon added. "It didn't please everyone, but I would say nine out of 10 people were extremely happy."
WGA West leader Patric Verrone described the agreement as "the best deal the guild has bargained for in 30 years," while acknowledging "some holes."
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, WGA member and maverick film-maker Michael Moore described the deal as a pivotal moment in the history of US industrial disputes.
"This is an historic moment for labor in this country," the "Sicko" and "Fahrenheit 9/11" director told the Times.
"To have the writers union stand up like we did, not give back a single thing and make them give -- it was a really great moment."
The writers strike has been one of the longest and most damaging in the entertainment industry's history, with estimated losses running into hundreds of millions of dollars.
It has also severely disrupted Hollywood's annual awards season, leading to the cancellation of the Golden Globes awards after actors vowed to boycott the event, and casting a shadow over preparations for the February 24 Oscars.
And the Times reported Sunday that Hollywood's labor woes might not be over, with the actors union making increasingly militant noises ahead of negotiations to replace an existing contract that expires in June.

Dear Peter,
Like all of us at Actors Connection, you've likely been waiting this weekend with baited breath for the announcement about the end to the WGA strike.
Union members on both coasts attended meetings on Saturday to hear the details of a tentative contract reportedly to be signed this week. Writers are ready to get back to work as well as other affected industry personnel. This means casting and production will be back for those shows that were stopped and tons of activity about to resume! There is also talk that PILOT SEASON will still happen, however the usual May upfronts will just be delayed.
See you
Lisa Gold
Owner/President
