...directors because they improve your working conditions," he says. "You're only as good as your last film, so if you get prizes or large audiences, then you get more money for your next film." But success and money is unlikely to change his style. Throughout his career, Haneke hasn't attracted controversy so much as courted it and if his films are looked upon as bleak diatribes on the human condition, frankly, he doesn't care.

Such a lavish ceremony appeared to give the church's blessing to Kennedy's career, even though he publicly and consistently rejected ecclesiastical teaching on abortion and same-sex marriage...
...career has become a vehicle through which the right-wing evangelical movement feels it can express its deepest identity ... Palin is perceived by its leaders--and followers--not as another cynical politician or self-promoting celebrity, but as a kind of magical helper, the God-fearing glamour girl who parachuted into their backwater towns to lift them from the drudgery of daily life, assuring them that they represented the 'real America.'"--11/15/09...
