Sony email hacking... info keeps getting "leaked" (2 Viewers)

^

I don't think that's correct.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-405644/George-Bush-assassination-film-wins-award.html

Although, Obama might use an executive order if it happened to him.
Maybe but that film wasn't made by our enemies and is not condoning or advocating killing Bush. It's more of an examination of what would happen if a president is killed. It's not about terrorists recruiting and training people to kill Obama. However, I contend that I may be wrong in my premise.
 
Warning

We will clearly show it to you at the very time and places “The Interview” be shown, including the premiere, how bitter fate those who seek fun in terror should be doomed to.

Soon all the world will see what an awful movie Sony Pictures Entertainment has made.

The world will be full of fear.

Remember the 11th of September 2001.

We recommend you to keep yourself distant from the places at that time.

(If your house is nearby, you’d better leave.)

Whatever comes in the coming days is called by the greed of Sony Pictures Entertainment.

All the world will denounce the SONY.

Anyone still think this isn't terrorism?
 
The best part of this whole farce is the released emails which show what venal ######s the oh-so-tolerant movie people really are when they think nobody is looking.

It's the artists that are tolerant and liberal. The producers and CEOs just want to make money. Also, hard to find a best part in something like this.
 
The Guardians of Peace are now threatening to blow up movie theaters that show the film. On an unrelated note, they should really think about a name change for their organization.

Bull hockey. Those two Co-Presidents are some of the largest donors/supporters of every liberal cause there is... But they can make the jokes about Pres. Obama's supposed taste in movies with no repercussions.

What does donating money to the Dems or Obama have to do with personal beliefs? Sometimes people give money to the people that are just good for business.
 
The irony is that this movie looks awful and probably would have bombed anyway. This publicity is probably the best thing that could have happened to this movie.

For a long time I was convinced this leak was actually publicity for the movie. Given all of the bad #### that has come out since this started, though, I think it is safe to say that that isn't the case (though can you imagine the #### Sony would be in if that turned out to be true?).

Those jokes were tame (and lame). Do you really think they were overly salacious or offensive?

I mean, these people aren't elected officials or anything. They are in the entertainment industry. That exchange was like the lamest SNL skit ever.

Oprah went on record saying these emails should be ignored because they were private and we've all said things in private that would be bad if made public. This is after she also went on record condemning Donald Sterling after a recording of his private conversation was released.

Something about the hypocrisy and double standard celebrities have about themsves really bothers me. As if Seth Rogan wouldn't be busting all sorts of jokes about this if he wasn't involved.

 
So people are now criticizing the media for releasing the celebrity details? Really?
What's great is that the people who are now criticizing the media are the same people who were criticizing the media just a month ago. How do I know this you ask? My answer is 'Don't worry about it. I just know'

I don't disagree, but I think there's sort of a double standard in play in that the same people would gleefully trash a big name conservative if they had said the same things. So more that their hypocrisy got exposed rather than them saying anything truly awful.

I heard Rogan and Howard Stern were wondering why this isn't being treated like terrorism, like 9/11Pathetic
I still have no idea what happened.
Sony Studios was hacked. all kinds of info stolen. Scripts, emails, contracts.So one studio big wig was basically telling another that Angie Jolie can't act and is a pain in the ###. Others were making off color remarks about Obama.

Apparently some incendiary emails and info still to drop
Sounds like talk I'd hear anywhere. What's the big deal?

Gawker, for example, got all high and mighty about the celeb nudes, trashing the release and anyone who would look at the stolen photos, demanding people respect their privacy, but, still had the Hulk Hogan sex tape on the website and refused to take it down even after threat of lawsuit for privacy violation.
Hulk Hogan has a sex tape? :X That's more offensive than anything else I've heard being released. Disgusting

Their hypothetical hypocrisy? Or have Rudin and Pascal actually trashed a conservative for making similar lame/tame jokes?

I imagine that there's got to be better stuff yet to be leaked. Because this Obama movie email exchange is really hard to get excited about.

I, like most of us, fancy myself a centrist. Probably lean left in terms of this board. But I'm guessing this would be a fireable offense per the SONY handbook on such matters.

As for Rudin, working independently of the studio, if its not hypocrisy, I don't know what it is, but making black jokes while producing two major "black" films currently in release and to be released has to be something. What kind of work environment is this?

Yeah, I don't see how making a joke about Obama liking "black" films while also producing "black" films is hypocritical.

Bad, bad, Sony!

And, my gut tells me that if they would win this type of case... a quick change in IP address or something will allow torrent sites to remain operational. Some little trick to get around the DNS issue, no?
This would only affect website name translation by the DNS server. You could still get to the site by using the IP address. It might frustrate the casual downloader, but not true pirates. :pirate:

The MPAA has been trying to get the government to use DNS blocking for some time now. It was attempted as part of SOPA, which never got passed. Apparently they're still trying. The way it works is targeting DNS, which translates the site you're trying to go to (www.footballguys.com for example) into an IP address, and sends you to that address. The MPAA now wants to threaten ISP's with legal action if they don't erase DNS entries of any site the MPAA wants blocked.

Bunch of ham-handed SOB's.

 
If it was initiated by the North Korean government I wouldn't call it terrorism, but it is cyber warfare. Although I think all the celebrity stuff is entertaining how it all came to be, is not. But then again, if you don't think we do the very same things to them, you'd be mistaken.
North Korea has knowledge of computers?

So....no nudies?
The hackers are hyping a "Christmas gift" that's about to come. So...maybe?They're saying what they drop "will put sony pictures into the worst state".
I can't imagine what the hackers could have that would relocate Sony pictures to Alabama.

Ill grant you, its a grey area.

But, if you are producing a film about Selma, presumably a project advocating for civil rights, I don't think he would make such comments in about Obama in a public venue. Would it be racist to suggest he liked fried chicken and watermelon, even if in fact he did? Or do we as a collective general acknowledge these to be statements of bias.

Does saying a black guy likes "black" films meet that same standard? I don't know.

I know I wouldn't use any such things in a work email, and if I worked for Mr. Rudin and did so and it came to light, I expect I would be fired and with cause.

Huh? Rudin isn't producing Selma as far as I'm aware. He did, however, produce The Dictator starring Sacha Baron Cohen, and is producing the upcoming Book of Mormon film by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone (he also produced Team America:World Police and the first South Park movie). So it's not like off color humor in questionable taste is outside his wheelhouse. I guess you could criticize him for the exchange being unfunny. Hypocrisy, however, I don't really see unless you have examples of Rudin lambasting others for similarly tame/lame jokes.

This is why it is extremely hard to feel sorry for Sony here. The content cartel is not merely satisfied with having government sanctioned monopolies, they need them to be aggressively enforced to the extent they run over the rights of the public. #######s.

My bad, I saw Top Five this weekend and he produced that and two of the other trailers so I assumed it was a Rudin strip of projects so I was wrong.

Agree to disagree on this issue I suppose, I can agree with the precise semantics of hypocrisy being dicey, but I do summize if I were black hes not the kind of guy I would look to work for. I guess in my mind, given his other project, I would have assumed a degree of simpatico.

God, this is such a non story that distracts us from the important stories.
The email exchange about Obama liking The Butler and Kevin Hart is ridiculously overblown, in my opinion. But the hack itself is a huge story.
Exactly, an outside group has shut down a $70 million dollar American business venture, is threatening American consumers with violence if they purchase the product and are stealing private American property. This is a massive deal.
 
In case you don't want to click the link, they pulled the plug on the movie. The movie theaters said they wouldn't show it so Sony canceled the release.
