UPDATE: Teamsters & IATSE To Picket 1,000 Ways To Die Monday

Unions Plan Strike Against Spike TVs 1,000 Ways To Die Dominic Patten is a Deadline contributor UPDATED: Teamsters Local 399 business agent/organizer Steven Dayan said the action is series producer Original Productions’ own fault. This is a company that has not communicated with us at all, he told Deadline. Our understanding is that Original Productions are crewing up again and that they are going to attempt to shoot again. Production on the Spike TV series, now in its fourth season, came to a halt February 16 when Original fired more than two dozen crew members seeking union protection. Original also produces the reality series Deadliest Catch, Storage Wars and Ice Road Truckers. This is a company, when it comes to safety, to health benefits, to the people who made their show a success, do not do things the way they should, Dayan said. It is a recipe for abusing people. The bottom line is thats wrong and that is why we will be picketing on Monday.” Here’s the release announcing the action: LOS ANGELES Last Thursday, February 16, the crew of Spike Televisions series 1000 Ways to Die voted unanimously to support the IATSE in securing them benefits, safe working conditions, and collective bargaining rights. Original Productions, who also produce reality shows such as Ice Road Truckers and Deadliest Catch for Discovery, refused to recognize the IA as the bargaining unit and summarily fired the crew, numbering over 25 employees. The production has been down for the past week. Begainning at 8:30 a.m. this coming Monday, Feb. 27, , IATSE and Teamster leaders, the LA County AFL-CIO and rank and file members of several production locals will join the union and non-union crew of 1000 Ways to Die to walk the picket line in front of Originals production facility at 2435 Naomi Street, Burbank, CA 91504. This is about healthcare, this is about safety and dignity in the workplace, and its part of the IAs ongoing campaign to support workers in all genres of TV, said Mike Milller, IATSE International Vice President, Division Director Motion Picture and Television Production. 1000 Ways to Die, a scripted re-enactment series, is a wholly non-union production in its fourth season and has aired on Spike since 2008. The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States, Its Territories and Canada, AFL-CIO, CLC (IATSE) is one of the largest entertainment labor unions in the world and represents over 110,000 technicians, artisans and craftspeople employed in stagecraft, motion picture and television production, the trade show industry, and affiliated crafts throughout the United States, Its Territories and Canada.

Berlinale Dispatch: A Chinese Epic as well as an Indonesian Zoo Tale Vie for that Jury's Favor

Today may be the next-to-last day's competition tests at the Berlinale, meaning individuals are taking a chance in regards to a possible champion towards the extent that forthcoming nexus s ever possible. This year's jury is headed by Mike Leigh, and also at dinner another evening some buddies and that i were playing the WWMLL What's Going To Mike Leigh Like? game. Voting for awards is really a democratic process, however the jury leader can set a dark tone. Nevertheless, its difficult to say, searching around within the Berlinale 2012 bag, what Leigh and co. might choose. The experts faves to date appear to become Christian Petzolds Barbara, a unique, slow-building drama occur seventies East Germany, and Miguel Gomes Tabu, an inventive melodrama that utilizes old-school movie conventions and sensuous black-and-whitened cinematography to weave a tale of affection and loss. But experts faves along with a jurys options dont always align. At this time, the area is rather open. Im wondering exactly what a Mike Leigh-brought jury will consider Postcards in the Zoo, through the youthful Indonesian filmmaker who passes the title Edwin. Postcards is really a gentle story, having a loose-jointed, somewhat impressionistic narrative structure, in regards to a youthful lady, Lana (Ladya Cheryl), who stays her existence inside a Jakarta zoo, though she does not formally work there. She helps bathe the zoos baby tiger she knows many details concerning the zoos tigers, which she shares authoritatively using the zoos site visitors and, eventually, she occupies with another zoo denizen, a magician-cowboy who turns her into his assistant and accomplice. (She dons an Indian-girl outfit and takes her devote his knife-tossing routine.) Throughout this meandering journey of self-discovery, Lana also turns into a massage girl in a health spa, serving males who nonchalantly stay in for full-service satisfaction, including a happy ending (if theyre prepared to pay for this). The image is beautifully shot the first section is indeed a number of postcards, a light meditation around the zoos peaceful, inspiring character, including shots of the mother and baby hippo idling inside a pool, along with a droll little sequence by which Lana muses aloud about why among the tigers wont eat. (She surmises he feels sorry for that chickens that become his dinner.) Postcards, Edwins second feature, is really low-key that it is emotional effects dont really linger the image is irrelevant, nevertheless its also reasonably enjoyable, particularly because of its pensive, low-key aura. Wang Quanans Whitened Deer Plain, however, is not low-key. This nearly-three-hour Chinese epic includes no real fight moments and incredibly little pageantry, however it does something thats possibly harder to drag off: It wrestles using the changes and struggles the country suffered between 1910, the finish of Imperial China, and 1938, time from the Japanese invasion. The storyline, an adaptation of the questionable historic novel by Chen Zhongshi, uses the energy struggle between two village families difficult thats intensified through the lady, performed by an significant actress named Cat Zhang Yugi, who makes its way into their midst as a way of speaking about sweeping or painful alternation in China throughout the very first 1 / 2 of the final century. The image is gorgeous to check out - well, not the famine sections, but virtually otherwise. Wang includes a weakness for showing, again and again again, the twinkling golden wheat fields that play a vital part within the story, and they're beautiful. A persons figures, regrettably, frequently have a back burner towards the scenery. Theyre cogs within the machinery of the nation and for the reason that from the movie, too possibly thats intentional, however it does keep Whitened Deer Plain from being as including as it can be. Who knows, from what weve seen to date, exactly what the Berlinale 2012 jury goes for? (The audience includes Franois Ozon, Mike Gyllenhaal, Anton Corbijn and Charlotte now Gainsbourg, in addition to Asghar Farhadi, the director of last years Golden Bear champion A Separation.) A Hungarian picture that tested today, Bene Fliegaufs Only the Wind, draws its subject material from recent real-existence disasters, by which several Romany families were killed within their houses, the targets of racial hate. The image is harrowing, yet it is also somewhat detached Fliegauf frequently works harder than he needs to, maybe, to underscore the anxiety and stress visited upon the city within the wake of those killings. However the picture is topical, and thats a quality which makes a jury crunches and take serious notice. Well see what goes on on Saturday, through which time Ill have bid the Berlinale adieu for an additional year though before that, Ill be checking in with a glance at Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerods Bel Ami, featuring the Pale One themself, Taylor Lautner.

Adele's '21' wins album of the year at Grammys

AdeleThe Foo FightersChris BrownRihannaThe Beach Boys and Maroon 5's Adam LevineTaylor SwiftTony Bennett and Carrie UnderwoodJennifer HudsonAlicia Keys and Bonnie RaittThe Vegas oddsmakers were right: Adele was a sure thing at this year's Grammy Awards.Further cementing her nascent superstardom, the English singer swept all six of the categories she was nominated in at Sunday's Grammy Awards ceremonies, collecting album of the year honors for "21" and record and song of the year trophies for "Rolling in the Deep."With wins in three of the four top categories, Adele matches a feat registered in 2003 by Norah Jones, who also took best new artist that year. Adele was named best new artist in 2009 behind her debut album "19."The singer, nee Adele Adkins, broke into tears as she accepted the album of the year award."This is ridiculous," she said, and made a point of thanking "every radio programmer and broadcaster" who helped put "Rolling in the Deep" and other tunes from "21" over the top. This year's surprising best new artist winner was Bon Iver. The folk-skewed Wisconsin-bred singer-songwriter, ne Justin Vernon, triumphed in a field that included the ultra-hot rap talent Nicki Minaj. Vernon had publicly declined to perform at the Grammy ceremony.Adele's "21" also won as best pop vocal album, "Someone Like You" captured best pop solo performance and the clip for "Rolling in the Deep" took best short-form video.Adele's six trophies equaled Beyonce's record one-night tally for a female performer, set in 2010.Paul Epworth, who co-wrote "Rolling in the Deep" and produced that hit, was named non-classical producer of the year, and shared song and album of the year honors.Few Grammy triumphs have felt quite as inevitable as Adele's.The 22-year-old singer served as the music industry's savior last year with her sophomore album "21." The top-selling collection has sold 6.38 million copies domestically to date, and remains No. 1 on the U.S. album chart after nearly a year in release. With one more week atop the chart, "21" will tie Whitney Houston's 20-week SoundScan-era record for longevity at the pinnacle, set in 1992-93 with the soundtrack for "The Bodyguard."With stylistic nods to Brit singers past, most notably Dusty Springfield and Amy Winehouse, "21" was lofted by three smash singles, "Rolling in the Deep," "Someone Like You" and "Set Fire to the Rain." The rich-voiced singer's seemingly universal appeal tagged her as an awards season shoo-in.The vocalist was the headline attraction for this year's Grammycast, emerging from months off the stage after throat surgery for a hemorrhaged vocal cord forced cancellation of a sold-out U.S. tour.Asked backstage how she handled the jolt of having to undergo surgery, Adele was sanguine about the experience. ""It's actually been really peaceful. Being silent in such a noisy world, it was sort of a blessing in disguise," she said. "I've actually never been happier."By an accident of fate, Adele's ascension on Sunday seemed a passing of the torch after the death Saturday of Houston, who rose to fame in the '80s with a similar brand of soulful, highly accessible pop.Houston's memory loomed both on and off the Grammy stage on Sunday. Jennifer Hudson paid tribute with a televised performance of "I Will Always Love You," Houston's No. 1 hit from the 1992 soundtrack of "The Bodyguard." Hudson ended the performance by ad libbing, "Whitney, we loved you."Stevie Wonder said from the stage, "I just want to say to Whitney up in Heaven, we all love you, Whitney Houston."Winners and performers offered their thoughts about the singer backstage. Vocalist-songwriter Melanie Fiona, who shared two R&B awards with Cee Lo Green for "Fool For You," said, "Whitney is the first voice and memory I have of music I would not be up here as an artist, a nominee and a winner without her influence on my life I feel so proud to be able say that she was such a huge influence on me."Bonnie Raitt told reporters, "I'm sure you're still in shock, tooIt's stunning, her vocal range and power."Houston's impact extended beyond the pop discipline: Joyce DiDonato, winner for best classical vocal solo, said, "She was larger than life, and the summation of good singing for me. I have a lot of opera friends, and we were all heartbroken to hear the news."The night's other big winners, perennial Recording Academy favorites Foo Fighters (six previous wins), dominated the rock categories with five victories: best rock album (for "Wasting Light") best hard rock/metal performance (for "White Limo"), best rock performance and best rock song (for "Walk") and best long form video (for "Foo Fighters: Back and Forth," directed and co-produced by James Moll). The band performed twice on the Grammycast."We made this record in my garage with some microphones and a tape machine," said Foo Fighters leader Dave Grohl. "It shows that the human element of making music is most important." As he left the stage Grohl shouted "Long live rock 'n' roll!"Kanye West -- this year's top nominee with seven nods -- once again had to satisfy himself with rap wins. West captured four awards to add to his 14 previous wins, for best rap/sung collaboration and best rap song (for "All of the Lights"), best rap performance (for "Otis," shared with Jay-Z) and best rap album ("My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy").The diminutive, angularly coiffed electronic/dance artist Skrillex broke through with three wins, taking best dance/electronica album (for "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprights"), best dance recording (for the album's title track) and best remixed recording (for Benny Benassi's "Cinema").Taylor Swift added two Grammy awards to her career total of four, winning best country solo performance and best country song for "Mean."Americana duo the Civil Wars' "Barton Hollow" won as both best folk album, while its title track won best country duo/group performance.As ever, some sentimental favorites prevailed.Paul McCartney, who was honored as MusiCares' person of the year on Friday and performed during the telecast, collected his 15th Grammy a best historical album honor, for last year's reissue of his 1973 album "Band On the Run." A mere 49 years after receiving his first Grammy -- record of the year, for "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" -- Tony Bennett won Nos. 15 and 16, for best traditional pop album (for "Duets II," his all-star No. 1 album) and. best pop performance by a duo or group, for "Body and Soul," his track with Amy Winehouse. The late singer's parents joined him onstage at the afternoon ceremony. "We shouldn't be here -- our darling daughter should be here," said Mitch Winehouse. "These are the cards we're dealt."Alison Krauss, the most rewarded female performer in Grammy history, received her 27th trophy: "Paper Airplane," her latest release with her group Union Station, was named best bluegrass album.In the music for visual media categories, "Boardwalk Empire Volume 1," the soundtrack for the HBO series collected best compilation soundtrack for Stewart Lerman, Randall Poster and Kevin Weaver. Alexander Desplat won best score soundtrack for Oscar winner "The King's Speech." Alan Menken and Glenn Slater received the prize for best song written for visual media, for "I See the Light" from Disney's "Tangled."Tony winner "The Book of Mormon," written by Robert Lopez, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, was named best musical theater album.Apart from Adele's return to perform "Rolling in the Deep" -- which drew one of the longest ovations in recent Grammy history --the kudocast's chief draws were distinctly old-school.McCartney performed "My Valentine," a track from his new standards collection, with Diana Krall and Joe Walsh, and a show-closing "Abbey Road" medley; the reunited Beach Boys played their 1966 hit "Good Vibrations" with Foster the People and Maroon 5; and Glen Campbell, who is retiring from performing after the onset of Alzheimer's disease, sang "Rhinestone Cowboy" to climax a tribute segment.Alicia Keys and Raitt paid tribute to the R&B diva Etta James, who died in January at 73, with a duet on "A Sunday Kind of Love."Complete list of winners:1.
