The talk - the Writer's Strike: “I’m very disappointed at the same time I’m in total sympathy with the writers’ position. I would’ve preferred them to do it next year,” quipped “Into the Wild” composer Michael Brook.   “Juno” director Jason Reitman said, “I made a small movie, my hope was that some people would see it, now a whole bunch of people have seen it. We’re nominated for all these awards I never expected. You hope in your career to achieve what I’ve done on this film and it’s happened so early to me that my only fear is nothing to do with asterisks, it’s having to living the rest of my life and trying to feel this once again.” (S.
