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.'"

Woman in the Window




The term "film noir" originated as a genre description, in part, because of this movie. The term first was applied to American films in French film magazines in 1946, the year when The Maltese Falcon (1941), Double Indemnity (1944), Laura (1944), Murder, My Sweet (1944), and The Woman in the Window were released in France.

IMDb Video: X-Men: First Class: Trailer #1

IMDb Video: X-Men: First Class: Trailer #1: "Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known."

Spartacus: Gods of the Arena - Steven S. DeKnight Interview

New ‘Black Panther’ Film In The Works From Marvel Studios | Geeks of Doom

New ‘Black Panther’ Film In The Works From Marvel Studios | Geeks of Doom: "One notable element present in Black Panther comics has been the ability for the fictitious African nation to juggle its political relationships with other countries who would like trade deals of Wakanda’s most valuable resource — a nearly indestructible metal called Vibranium. It would be interesting to see a District 9-style telling of Black Panther as opposed to the standard super-hero movie that has become all too common in the last decade."

New season premieres January 21 at 10pm ET/PT



 "The House of Batiatus is on the rise, basking in the glow of its infamous champion Gannicus, whose skill with a sword is matched only by his thirst for wine and women.

 And he’ll have his loyal and calculating wife Lucretia by his side for every underhanded scheme, drawing on the brazen talents of her seductive friend Gaia when it counts.

 Together, they will stop at nothing to deceive the masses, seize power, and bleed Capua dry in this audacious prequel to “Spartacus: Blood and Sand.”"

"Neil Gaiman’s script for the beloved British Doctor Who is decidedly Doctor Who, the fantasist said this past Sunday, during a segment of the three-day, celeb-infused New Yorker Festival. “Classic Doctor Who episodes are always filmed at some point in a quarry, and I’m incredibly pleased to say they have spent the last week filming in a quarry, in the rain, which is awesome.”

The episode is set to air around Easter of next year, and will feature actress Suranne Jones in a guest role as a character called Idris, who Gaiman revealed “may very well be an old acquaintance of the doctor with a new face.”"

The Lady Vanishes (1938 film)Image via WikipediaMovie Review - The Lady Vanishes - THE LADY VANISHES - NYTimes.com:
"A lady vanishes on a train. One moment she was sitting there, plump, matronly, reading a needlework magazine, answering to the name and description of Miss Froy, governess, London-bound from the Tyrol. The next, she was gone. And the young woman in the compartment, awakening from her doze, was solemnly assured by her neighbors that they had seen no Miss Froy. A brain specialist aboard suggests that Miss Froy was a hallucination induced by the blow she had received when a flower box fell on her head at the station."
