    and all respect to our brillant film industry but traditional film revenues are going to plummet very soon, much like the music industry because movies will be stolen in large numbers as the online revolution gets bigger and movie tickets get more expensive.

    We need a plan for our film industry.

    and let's hope warner brothers doesn't include our stance on global warming when they help tell the world what a great bunch of swell nature lovers we are.

    which should have been a Labour’s trump suit

    Labour have 12 months to win back 5% of the vote to centreleft/centre.

    There is still a lot more going on than a film in this country labourwise.
    Labour should let people breathe a bit then get back into labour relations.

    If this incident shows anything it shows the potential anarchy of the present bargaining system. We don't need to use English Labour Relations as a primary influence. What about Europe, the Japanese, new systems even.This system is too cap in hand.

    From one of New Zealands biggest selling albums,

    Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
    ooh, they're red, white and blue.
    And when the band plays "Hail To The Chief",
    oh, they point the cannon at you, Lord,

    Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
    Lord, don't they help themselves? oh.
    But when the taxman come to the door,
    Lord, the house look a like a rummage sale, yes,

    Yeh, some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
    ooh, they send you down to war, Lord,
    And when you ask them, how much should we give,
    oh, they only answer, more, more, more, yoh,


    It ain't me, it ain't me,
    I ain't no fortunate one, no no no,
    It ain't me, it ain't me,
    I ain't no fortunate son, son son son

    Of course lets' not forget the context of the times we live in, these films probably would have been canned if America hadn't had to buy their own banks out of collapse.

    It's not the Union Movement that created these bad economic times.

    Drinking good piss is very difficult when you have no money and it's frowned upon by some ugly people who think that low levels of income should somehow manifest a somewhat saintly life.

    Conditions of the modern workplace are going to be a big deal in the next few years, especially once gen y find their political voice. Lifestyle versus glueing Gandalfs beard back on for 14 hours because it's special movie time.

    The union movement always end up promoting these changes, out of the ideology of looking out for the sanity of the workforce,and of course no one else sees it in their political capital to give a damn.

    and they have had very few victories, it's not a strong movement, it's underfunded, the media have hated it since I was a boy and it basically was decimated as a bargaining agent in the nineties.

    Labour relations are very important yet one of the relatives has never really enjoyed a place at the table. The left doesn't need to be left to take on the heavy woes of all our vunerable workers. We all need to be concerned.

    unparalleled in their unique beauty.

    you either get that or you don't. You can go through the world clapping landscapes for sure, but this land is unique,travel down the north island and look hard, it sure doesn't look like france, it looks better.

    And stuff like getting your country's name hammered at the oscars, etc to a huge worldwide audience is just the kind of exposure money can't buy.

    Islander has a good point. Artistic projects are a big potential and current moneyearner for us. That's now an economic fact.Think Big on Art.
