[Note - I have revised this post in a few places based on information provided by the AMPTP and SAG after the original post appeared. This is indicated by "REVISED".] Last night saw an extensive press release by the AMPTP reacting to various statements by SAG over the last few weeks, followed by a short release from SAG responding to some of the AMPTP’s points. Who’s right? Here’s the language from the two releases and my analysis, interleaved so that you can see what items respond to what. Note that the AMPTP press release cites (in paraphrase) various SAG statements. To avoid confusion, I’ve used boldface to sort out who is speaking – AMPTP, SAG, or me (JLH).
