HBO Documentary Tells Workers’ Story in Stella D’oro Strike | AFL-CIO NOW BLOG:

 "Finally, an administrative law judge ruled in the workers’ favor and ordered all the employees reinstated. But the joyous victory was short-lived and bittersweet. Just one day after the workers came back to the job, the new owners announced they were closing the factory and moving the work to Ohio.

 Now, two years later, the factory stands shuttered like so many other manufacturing plants in this country."

"Cypher, in any case, does not contest the point: to taste a good steak in the Matrix while knowing that there is no steak is not enough for him, he insists to Agent Smith to make him forget everything he has lived outside of the Matrix.”"

Lars von Trier’s Other Comments at Cannes | Senses of Cinema:

"Where is Emily Watson? Björk, who was in Dancer in the Dark (2000), refused to speak to him after it was finished and screened at Cannes, and although he begged Nicole Kidman at a Cannes press conference to be in a sequel to Dogville (2003) as part of his so-called new trilogy she has yet to return."

Meet the New Spartacus: Liam McIntyre Talks About Taking Over the Gladiator Gig - Today's News: Our Take | TVGuide.com

Meet the New Spartacus: Liam McIntyre Talks About Taking Over the Gladiator Gig - Today's News: Our Take | TVGuide.com:

"There's a new gladiator in town! After a long and exhaustive casting search, actor Liam McIntyre has landed the lead role in the Starz series Spartacus: Blood and Sand.

The 28-year-old Aussie unknown will replace fan fave Andy Whitfield, who had to withdraw from the show last year after being diagnosed for the second time with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Season 2 of the international hit starts shooting this spring, with a projected January 2012 airdate.

TV Guide Magazine spoke with McIntyre, who beat out a broad and beefy contingent of Spartacus wannabes — a list that included former Prison Break star Dominic Purcell and All My Children grad Aiden Turner."

AFL-CIO NOW BLOG

AFL-CIO NOW BLOG: "Here are some other Oscar quotes from the AP:

“I think what’s going on in Wisconsin is kind of madness right now,” said Wally Pfister, who won a cinematography Oscar for “Inception,” during a press briefing backstage. Earlier, he thanked his “fantastic union crew.”

Gary Rizzo, who won for sound-mixing on “Inception,” thanked “all the hard working boom operators and utility sound people that worked on the production crew. Union, of course.”

Another winner said that it was wrong that executives whose banks were bailed out by the U.S. government had not gone to jail."

Oscars and Politics: Unions and Wall Street at the Academy Awards - ABC News:

"'I think that what is going on in Wisconsin is kind of madness right now,' Pfister said. 'I have been a union member for 30 years and what the union has given to me is security for my family.

They have given me health care in a country that doesn't provide health care and I think unions are a very important part of the middle class in America -- all we are trying to do is get a decent wage and have medical care.'"
