Lars Ulrich of Metallica in Hemingway & Gellhorn

Lars from Metallica is appearing in the movie Hemingway & Gellhorn. The last time we saw Lars acting was in “Get Him to the Greek” along Russell Brand. In this Ulrich plays the Dutch documentarian Joris Ivens, (don’t bother his annoying accent; he is playing an actual Dutch guy)

“Hemingway & Gellhorn” is a drama centered on the romance between Ernest Hemingway (Clive Owen) and WWII correspondent Martha Gellhorn(Nicole Kidman), Hemingway’s inspiration for “For Whom the Bell Tolls” and the only woman who ever asked for a divorce from the writer.

“Hemingway & Gellhorn” is scheduled to premiere on May 28 at 9:00 p.m.

Kuwait Airways on strike

It seems Kuwait Airways also joined the strike.   Below is the update we got.

” Kuwaiti employees of Kuwait Airways Corp, the Kuwaiti National Carrier  went on strike today to demand higher Salary and other employment benefits. The demands include bonuses, allowances, increments and job titles for all employees without exception which the Union had submitted to Government .  .  About 2,000 staff from Kuwait Airways  halted work at 8 am local time.  All KU scheduled flights to DXB , FRA , JED , RUH , DMM ,

CAI , BEY were cancelled today and the strike  is expected to continue tomorrow”

I guess all the travelers who had booked their fight via Kuwait Airways are screwed…
