VENICE, Sept 1 (Reuters) - The warm reception given to Danish film "The Promised Land" at the Venice Film Festival on Friday showed that small-budget, independent films can flourish as a strike brings much of Hollywood to a standstill, its director said.

"Obviously as a writer, director, I'm in full support of the strike, and I really hope they will get everything they want," Arcel said. So it was it was it was quite a joyful experience to do this film," Arcel said.

Salesforce reportedly paid Matthew McConaughey $10 million a year during layoffs. McConaughey's voice appeared in Salesforce's "AI Day" event in June and Salesforce recently announced McConaughey as a speaker at the company's annual Dreamforce conference in September. But some employees are not happy about it because the McConaughey deal was made public just a month after Salesforce announced it would be conducting widespread layoffs this year. Some employees complained about the company's relationship with McConaughey in an internal Slack channel called "airing of grievances," according to messages viewed by Insider. "I was denied a promotion this cycle because of 'lack of budget' but we can throw $10mil a year at this guy?"

Adapted from the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Herman Wouk, “The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial” follows the trial of a naval officer (played by Jake Lacy) who is accused of leading a mutiny against his unstable commander (Kiefer Sutherland). The story was first adapted for the 1954 film “The Caine Mutiny,” which was nominated for seven Oscars including best picture. Though that film and Wouk’s novel take place during World War II, Friedkin contemporized the story and relocated the action to the Persian Gulf. “The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial” is Friedkin’s 20th narrative film and his first since 2011’s “Killer Joe,” which starred Matthew McConaughey. In the interim, Friedkin directed a documentary, “The Devil and Father Amorth,” about a purported real-life exorcism.

(Chappelle notoriously walked off the show during production of its third season, with only enough material for three episodes in the can.) ‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’ (June 30)There may have been better early-2000s romantic comedies, but this 2003 hit from Donald Petrie may be the most early-2000s romantic comedy. Scott’s frequent leading man Denzel Washington brings tormented complexity to the grizzled hero, whose shift at M.T.A. dispatch is disrupted by a madman (John Travolta) whose crew takes over a subway car and holds its passengers hostage. And James Gandolfini is wonderful (and miles from Tony Soprano) as the city’s mayor.

These books cover real estate and investing, business, personal development, and leadership. Intrigued by real-estate investing, Rivers took the plunge and bought his first real-estate investment property in 2019. In a recent interview, Rivers shared the 10 books — spanning topics such as business, investing, and personal development — that helped him scale his portfolio quickly. "What It Takes" by Stephen A. SchwarzmanThis book, written by the billionaire investor and Blackstone CEO Stephen A. Schwarzman, is one of Rivers' personal favorites. While much of the focus for entrepreneurs is on building a business, Rivers said understanding how to sell a business was just as important.
"I never saw myself as a speaker, let alone a motivational speaker," Leonard tells me while his assistant irons his jeans. 'When I ramble," Hunter told me, "hit me in the leg!" Every plane had been grounded, including the one stuck on the tarmac with an increasingly inebriated Hunter Thompson trapped inside. But by far the most all-consuming task was booking gigs for Hunter Thompson. Just before a debate with G. Gordon Liddy at Brown University, Hunter demanded that Betsy Berg, whom I now worked alongside at GTN, score him some crystal meth.
“I mean he feels like he is losing a father. But I’m like, no, you’re gaining a different father and a brother.”Like McConaughey, Harrelson recalled a conversation with “Ma Mac, Matthew’s legitimate mother,” when she told them that she “knew…” Harrelson’s father. We were in Greece watching the US team win the World Cup and I mentioned something about regrets,” Harrelson said. Harrelson and McConaughey will star in an upcoming Apple TV+ series, in a fictionalized portrayal of their friendship. “I can’t tell whether it’s just, like, their sort of slow Southern and Texas drawls or I think Texas figures in there somewhere,” Theroux said.
Chery McLemore was recently enjoying watching a parade of cows and bulls at a cattle auction with actor Matthew McConaughey. Then he started climbing atop the small pet llama she had brought, and she had to raise her voice to tell him to stop. “Fine, you can stay with your llama, I’m leaving!” Mr. McConaughey screamed before storming off.

Intrigued by real estate investing, in 2019 Rivers decided to take the plunge and buy his first real estate investment property. In a recent interview with Insider, Rivers recalled only making $28,000 during his first year of selling real estate. It taught him the expectations to set for his employees while he was building up his full-service real estate firm, Rivers Capital Group. While much of the focus for entrepreneurs is on building a business, Rivers believes that selling a business is just as important.

Through the sky’s-the-limit boom years, Marc Benioff , the co-founder and chief executive of Salesforce.com Inc., told employees they were bound together like family. In today’s leaner times, he is laying off thousands of them. Since its founding in 1999, the San Francisco-based business-software company has grown fast and spent big. Salesforce put its name on skyscrapers in San Francisco, Tokyo, London and New York City and, according to people familiar with the arrangement, agreed to pay actor Matthew McConaughey more than $10 million a year to be a creative adviser and TV pitchman.

I could go hang off one of those big mountaintop-remover coal things, but that’s not going to stop it. I meet with the director, and I’m going to do it — they’re making it for like $500,000 — then the guy just goes with someone else! I have a gluttonous side, and I know that’s not going to help me be a spiritually better person.

Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer recently discussed her pay negotiation tactics in an interview. Spencer has been a vocal advocate of equal pay for women of color in Hollywood. Her perspective has remained straightforward on the topic: "Women and women of color have always lagged. While acknowledging that some negotiating is always necessary because, "Nobody's going to offer you what you're worth," she said, "I'm also not that negotiator who's going to go back and forth. If you can't come up to my price, there are so many other people that you can go to who probably will accept what you're offering.
