  • Hard News: Yet More Hobbit,

    Gordon Campbell has done a good objective overview of the situation, which I recommend any thinking person read. http://gordoncampbell.scoop.co.nz/2010/10/06/gordon-campbell-on-the-end-game-for-the-hobbit/ (Sorry, haven't worked out how to embed the link...)

  • Hard News: Yet More Hobbit,

    Thanks to Simon Bennett for his post (2.05 today). There is so much misinformation about it's no surprise that so many people are confused. However, whilst the relevant parties are talking in private it is most productive to let them do this without adding more confusion to the mixture.

    I am an actors agent, I run Auckland Actors, and I work for the actors on my books and also, wherever possible, actors in general.

    I support the performers’ union NZ Actors’ Equity in their attempts to improve the working lives of performers in this country.

    I do find it disheartening to discover that there are agents who have put their name to the 'Petition by the New Zealand film community against the boycott of "The Hobbit" '. I guess the actors whom they represent will have to decide whether this works for them.

    Is the Peter Cox posting in this thread the Peter Cox who is the President of the Writers Guild? It's not clear.

  • Speaker: KICK IT! The Faces of the Defeated,

    Peter Jackson may have stayed to help build an NZ industry, but he seems to have forgotten to use the local actors to help make it work.

  • Hard News: A bigger breach?,

    Both Amex and ASB Visa Platinum cards replaced in the past month by issuers due to fraudulent transactions appearing - train tickets in Sweden, various stuff in Germany etc. All the ones they've told me about have been European transactions. Haven't been asked to honour of these phony 'transactions'.
