SAG responded sharply to a lawsuit filed Wednesday by opponents seeking to derail the SAG/AFTRA merger referendum, blasting the suit as “completely without merit (and a) preposterous . . . attempt at circumventing the will of the membership.” The statement called the litigation “a public relations stunt that follows a clear pattern by some of the plaintiffs of filing unsuccessful lawsuits against their own union.” That’s a reference to former guild president Alan Rosenberg and current board member Anne-Marie Johnson, who are plaintiffs both in the current suit and in a 2009 action that spawned three separate court cases, all

Resuming the firebrand role he played as president of the Screen Actors Guild during its 2008-09 labor dispute with networks and producers, Alan Rosenberg has accused the heads of SAG and AFTRA of “lying about their intentions” as they push for a merger. “Their goal is to make sure no one in this town will strike,” he told the Hollywood Reporter. He accused the leaders of the two unions of being “too compliant” to the studios. Rosenberg was particularly critical of plans to merge the pension and welfare plans of the two unions, charging that the tentative deal reached between SAG and AFTRA negotiators fails to require an impact study as required under SAG’s constitution. »

It was a blast from the past Thursday – a fiery one – when former SAG president Alan Rosenberg stopped by an anti-merger protest in front of SAG and AFTRA headquarters in Los Angeles and charged that the effort to merge the two unions “is being accomplished by liars.” “These people are lying about their intentions,” he continued, stating a moment later that he was referring in particular to current guild president Ken Howard and first vp Ned Vaughn. “Their goal is to make sure no one in this town will strike,” he said, arguing that

HBO Nick Nolte in ‘Luck.’
If there was a common criticism of “Luck’s” pilot episode, it was that the multiple plot strands were a little hard to follow. Good news, though, race fans: things clear up a bit in the second episode, which was directed by Terry George (“Hotel Rwanda”) and written by racing expert John R. Perrotta. Now, I’m not saying it spells everything for you–after all this is a show from David Milch, who likes »

Don’t tell me this isn’t a great f**king country!
So Gus exclaims after winning his first bet at the racetrack in Luck's second episode. What he seemed to forget, or was willfully ignoring, was that his win wasn’t the result of traditional American virtues – hard work and good luck – but what are increasingly becoming modern American values: cheating and lying.
In many ways, Luck is a show about the deteriorating. Horse racing has long since lost its place in the sports spotlight. Similarly, in the current economic and political climate, the American dream is struggling to stay alive. Luck is not first and foremost a political show, but commentary on our contemporary moment is peppered into each episode. When the show is at its best, you don’t consciously recognize its political message, but simply absorb it.
No character is immune from the stagnation of the American ideal. »
