RELEASE: Statement from Chairman & CEO, Sen. Chris Dodd on the cyber-attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment http://t.co/66SuRafhn2
— MPAA (@MPAA) December 19, 2014
Statement Reads in Part:
"Disappointingly, that fact [the hack/threats being criminal acts] has been lost in a lot of the media coverage of this over the past few weeks. This situation is larger than a movie’s release or the contents of someone’s private emails. This is about the fact that criminals were able to hack in and steal what has now been identified as many times the volume of all of the printed material in the Library of Congress and threaten the livelihoods of thousands of Americans who work in the film and television industry, as well as the millions who simply choose to go to the movies."
SOURCES: Tweet and Full Statement from Dodd
Will be amused by the "another white guy" comments, given Dodd's legiative legacy including voting rights, abortion rights, Family and Adical Leave Act,Obamacare, Dodd-Frank and working to bring peace to Latin America
Only Academy Award Wining Female Diretor Kathryn Bigalow moderated a Q&A with Only Black Women to be nominated for a Golden Globe for Directro Ava DuVerney this week.
"In a week of so much happiness, this was the highlight. Kathryn Bigelow standing with me to share SELMA. Her work means so much to me. Took everything I had to keep composure when she told me she'd already seen it twice and called the film 'masterful.' I almost broke down. Major swoon. Great lady."
Bonus: From The 8 Most Badass Things Ava DuVernay Said About Being a Female Director
With the crew, a lot of them had never been directed by a woman, and further than that a lot of them had never been directed by a black woman. And I was dealing with a lot of men, and we were in Atlanta, in the south. So I thought it was imperative to have a conversation so that we were clear whose job was what, and that mine was to be in charge. I needed them to know that I respected what they did and I intended for them to respect what I did and if at any point that broke down then they would no longer be there. In a very nice way!

As the taping rolls and the commercial breaks interrupt, Colbert keeps his energy level up by listening to, among other things, Neutral Milk Hotel’s “Holland, 1945″ — we know this because it plays loudly, throughout the studio. Two girls in the seats in front of me start singing along and — as they start sort of swaying — Colbert spots them and starts pointing rhythmically in their direction, all the while faithfully mouthing the lyrics.
He had 10 older siblings. But after his father and the two brothers closest to him in age died in a plane crash when he was 10 and the older kids went off to college, he said, he was “pretty much left to himself, with a lot of books.”
He said he loved the “strange, sad poetry” of a song called “Holland, 1945” by an indie band from Athens, Ga., called Neutral Milk Hotel and sent me the lyrics, which included this heartbreaking bit:
“But now we must pick up every piece
Of the life we used to love
Just to keep ourselves
At least enough to carry on…
And here is the room where your brothers were born
Indentions in the sheets
Where their bodies once moved but don’t move anymore.”
