Despite the rumours the other day that there was going to be a resolution to the strike in Hollywood by Christmas, there's a decidedly negative feeling after the talks were reopened on Monday.

Even as the second day stretched into the evening and talks kept going, there seemed to be no resolution according to an insider.

Of course there is no official word from either the , and so this is as thin as the rumour that the strike was to end...or as solid.

The insider told Associated Press through Yahoo News that both parties have agreed to meet again on Wednesday morning at 10am, so at least they are both showing a willingness to talk and try and find a resolution, it just needs both sides to be flexible enough to find a solution, then we can get back to standard Hollywood production.

Mmmm...there's a thought. Is the strike a good thing then?!
