- Pass notes No 2,858: Wellywood
There's a bit of trouble down under with Hobbit film crewsAge: ElevenishDid you say elvish? Don't get ahead of yourself. I said elevenish.Appearance: Rugged.So, what is it? Where is it? Is it real? It sounds as if it could be the punchline to a Prince Philip joke. It is real. It's the name given to Wellington, New Zealand, since Sir Peter Jackson (or mere Peter Jackson, as he was 1999 when Lord of the Rings first started shooting) began filming his Tolkien trilogy and the special effects company Weta Workshop took up residence there.Hasn't there been a bit of trouble there recently? A bit. Various unions, including the Screen Actors Guild and the Australian Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance (MEAA) have called on their actors to boycott Jackson's Lord of the Rings prequels (a two-film version of The Hobbit).Why? Do the actors playing goblins have to eat the ponies for real? No, fool. What do you think Weta's for? And Jackson remade King Kong. He's hardly Method. The unions claim that Hobbit producers have refused to negotiate a deal guaranteeing pay and working conditions for performers in Wellywood.And what does Jackson say? He says this is just a membership grab by MEAA, which sees its Kiwi cousins as ripe for the picking.Have there been any complaints by previous Wellywood crews about Jackson? No, there haven't. Danny Boyle had to fight off more stickover the perceived treatment of the child actors and their families in Slumdog Millionaire. On the other hand, Hollywood does have a history of resisting unionisation so that it can get people to do whatever is needed to finish shooting without having to stop for inconveniences such as health and safety assessments and meals.Hmm. Have any of the stars involved with the film weighed in yet, so that I know which side to トラブルのビットはホビットの映画crewsAgeとダウンの下にあります：ElevenishDidあなたはエルフって？先に自分の取得しないでください
- 127 Hours: the sequel
A man goes hiking across the Utah desert, only to have to fight for survival for four days. And it's no accident it sounds just like Danny Boyle's film 127 HoursThe desire to pay homage to your favourite film isn't new: that's why Carnforth tea room is still packed 66 years after Brief Encounter and romcom fans ram the Empire State Building every Valentine's Day in tribute to Sleepless in Seattle. But few have followed in their cinematic hero's footsteps so slavishly as Amos Wayne Richards, a 64-year-old who was inspired to hike across the Utah desert after watching Danny Boyle's Oscar-nominated 127 Hours. That film took its title from the length of time its hero, Aron Ralston (played by James Franco), spent trapped in a canyon, swigging his own urine, sobbing through flashbacks and finally lopping off his own arm, which was pinned beneath a boulder. It turned out to be only slightly longer than the ordeal endured by Richards, who, after tumbling 10ft down a cliff this month, broke his leg, dislocated his shoulder and spent four days crawling back to his car, sustained by two protein bars and rainwater. Like Ralston, he was without mobile reception, and hadn't told anyone where he was going. Drive fans, take heed: Ryan Gosling may look cool flipping cars and stomping gangsters, but don't try it at home.United StatesUtahCatherine Shoardguardian.co.uk © 2011 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

- 127 Hours – review
James Franco is outstanding in this true story that might put you off climbing for life. By Peter BradshawBarnum and Bailey combined could not deliver the same showbiz impact as Danny Boyle on a good day, and with this film, he's having one of the best. This is his absolutely assured, tremendously crafted new movie – with an overwhelmingly convincing performance from James Franco. It turns on an act of horrible violence, and yet it doesn't feel like a horror film or a violent one, not exactly. It is based, as they say, on a true story, a claim that is usually the prelude to a fantastically dishonest array of evasions and slippery half-truths. Not here. Though there are a couple of minor embellishments, Boyle sticks to the facts. Or rather the fact, the single, inexhaustibly astonishing fact. I have watched 127 Hours twice, and anxiously replayed its central event dozens of times in my head, and each time I am as comprehensively freaked out as if I had no idea what was going to happen. My gob is smacked afresh.In 2003, Aron Ralston was a climber and extreme sports enthusiast who one weekend went out hiking in the beautiful, remote Blue John Canyon in Utah. He had told no one where he was going; he had no mobile phone and wouldn't be able to get a signal anyway. He is here swaggeringly self-confident and on even more of an endorphin rush than usual after an encounter with two attractive women hikers who appear to be sizing up the possibility of abseiling into his pants at the party they're throwing later that night.Ralston's date with destiny begins when he starts a very dangerous canyon climb and his arm gets jammed, immovably, under a colossal boulder. He is trapped. Food and water are running out. But Aron has a small pocketknife with him and now faces some tough choic ジェームズフランコは、生活のため登山を延期する可能性がありますこれは本当の話で傑出しています

- The Guardian's Science Weekly podcast: It's all about altitude at World Cup 2010
Steve Haake, head of sports engineering at Sheffield Hallam University, joins us to explain why altitude could make the difference between triumph and disaster at World Cup 2010 in South Africa. He also predicts that goalkeepers will be moaning about the design of the balls. Steve will be giving a talk at the Royal Institution on 8 June. We look at some of your responses to last week's live recording of this podcast at the Science Museum in London. Following a discussion at the Hay Festival on 10 years of the Human Genome Project, we reveal what Nobel laureates John Sulston and Martin Evans, and Michael Morgan, former CEO of the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, had to say about Craig Venter's creation of the world's first synthetic genome. We visited the Royal Society's exhibition celebrating its 350th anniversary. Keith Moore, its librarian, tells us about Robert Boyle's list of scientific ambitions. View a gallery of the Royal Society exhibition here. In the newsjam we discuss the ban on mephedrone, trials to begin on a breast cancer vaccine, a resignation over GM foods, and why six men will be spending 520 days locked inside a spaceship in a Moscow car park. Guardian science correspondent Ian Sample and Observer science editor Robin McKie were on hand in the studio to throw around the World Cup ball.
