Lionsgate Makes a Deal

So, checking my news feed this morning, I saw that Lionsgate Films made an independent deal with the WGA, my initial reaction was excitement, because with more and more films making deals with the WGA the pressure is going to start to rise, combine that with the beginning of informal talks once again, and that could...COULD... mean that the end is in sight... far off on the horizon. THEN I read the actual article... please understand, it wasn't shocking or anything like that, the title pretty much said it all, that Lionsgate and Marvel had both struck deals... what surprised me was that Lionsgate is not only a film company, they do tv shows... and they happen to do one of my favorites! Weeds the showtime original show starring Mary-Louise Parker as the widowed mother of two turned pot dealer. This show is fantastic and has all the elements required: humor, drama, and beautiful Mary-Louise Parker, and.... one of the Olsen twins?!

Also on Lionsgate platter of goodness is Mad Men, which I haven't actually seen, but have heard many much people rave about it. Needless to say I'm excited to see this deal go down.
