Labour MP Calls for James Murdoch to Resign From BSkyB

LONDON -- Tom Watson, a Labour Party MP on the Culture Select Committee that is investigating phone-hacking, has called on James Murdoch to resign as chairman of Britain's biggest pay-TV giant BSkyB.our editor recommendsAnalyst Downgrades News Corp. Stock, Citing Phone Hacking 'Witch Hunt,' 'Powerful Personal Enemies'British Prime Minister Denies Involvement in News Corp.'s BSkyB BidBSkyB CEO Jeremy Darroch Defends 'Unanimous' Board Support for Chairman James Murdoch Speaking at the Labour Party's annual conference, Watson told delegates that that Rupert Murdoch's youngest son had lost credibility as an executive. "Let's tell Ofcom what we think about James Murdoch," Watson urged delegates. "I wouldn't put him on the board of an ornamental garden. He's certainly not a fit and proper person to chair a major broadcaster." Ofcom, the British media regulator in charge of broadcasting, is currently looking at whether News Corporation meets the so-called "fit and proper" standards required to own a broadcaster in the light of the mountain of phone-hacking revelations. BSkyB, whose board have given James Murdoch their unanimous support, said they had "no comment." In an impassioned debate at the Party conference, Watson said that it was only a matter of time before phone-hacking was discovered to extend beyond the News of the Worldto other News International titles including The Sun.

Watson said that a culture had been The culture where hacking was allowed to thrive was down to "police failure, a newspaper out of control, politicians refusing to act".

Fantastic Fest: Bare-Knuckle Champ James Quinn McDonagh Talks Knuckle - and Its Planned HBO Series

Within the insular Traveller community in Ireland and parts of the United Kingdom, among clans that are closely related by marriage and birth, conflicts are solved through ritualized bare-knuckle fights buoyed by blood pride and machismo. Think Brad Pitt in Snatch and you get the lighter side of the boxing tradition, but in real life, as documentarian Ian Palmer discovered as he filmed one clan’s champions over the course of 12 years, there’s a dark and tragic nature to the custom that drives the culture. Knuckle combines Palmer’s personal musings as an outside observer with interviews and fight footage of the bare-knuckle bouts, carefully planned and refereed between families to solve disputes - or, as it sometimes appears, to confront perceived slights. His lens focuses on James Quinn McDonagh, a clan champion who reluctantly steps up to fight for his family name despite growing philosophical objections to the practice. Speaking with Movieline at Fantastic Fest, where Knuckle screened, Quinn McDonagh lamented what could have been if the tradition had stopped years ago. “It could have avoided a lot of tragedies, a lot of trouble, a lot of prison times,” he said. “A lot of things could have been avoided if we sat around a table and talked. Hopefully in the future that will happen.” Read on for more with director Ian Palmer and bare-knuckle champion James Quinn McDonagh. Knuckle is about so much more than just bare-knuckle boxing, it’s about this entire tradition that occurs in this specific place and specific community in the world. How did you first find your way in and know you had a story to film? Ian Palmer: I didn’t really find the story… James Quinn McDonagh: The story found him! Palmer: Yeah — I didn’t find a story, I found people. I had no idea where the story was going, but I met the woman James’s brother was going to marry, Jacqueline, one of his cousins, and her family asked me to go on to the wedding. So I met Michael and James at the wedding reception - two guys who I found interesting. And James at that time was a good bit older than Michael, Michael was only 18 years old and James was the big brother. There was something there fairly quickly. James was fighting; they asked me along. So immediately I had something that I was interested in following, but people rather than the fight scene. I was more interested in James, his brother, the families, and why the hell they were fighting these other families. Where it was going to go as a story, I had no idea - no more than James knew back then in 1997 where his life was going to go. It was about life that was going to happen in the future. James, take me through this fighting tradition, and how you first learned about it growing up. McDonagh: In general, the Irish traveling community would settle their arguments or disputes with bare-knuckle fighting, as you’ve seen in the film. If we have an argument or a fight with the Joyces or the Nevins, one of our guys would be put up to defend the family name. Going back a few years ago there would be someone before me, and when my turn came, my calling, I had to answer that call and take the lead role in defending the family name. I’ve done it for 12 years, and my brother Michael has done it. It’s basically a tradition among travelers to have a guy that can stand up, knuckle-wise, and defend the family name. What’s your earliest recollection as a child of seeing this tradition in action, coming to understand how all of this worked and why people did it? McDonagh: Well, the first bare-knuckle fight I’d ever seen was in 1990, between one of the characters in the movie, the guy who fought Big Joe, Aney McGinley. He fought a guy called Dan Rooney who was the season’s champion at the time. I was hooked from that minute. Previously I’d done a lot of boxing in the ring, training as a kid growing up. And it was three years later when I had my first fight, my first street fight, with Ditsy Nevin, and it just took its own road from there. Training physically is one thing, but the sense of honor that drives this tradition is the most striking part of it all. McDonagh: Honor — it all goes back down to who you are. What breed you’re from, what clan in Ireland you are. Palmer: It’s all about defending your family name. I mean, it’s also about two men, maybe young men, wanting to prove themselves and how good they are as individuals. But it’s always in the context of how good you are as a Quinn McDonagh or as a Joyce; it’s about what breed you’re from and representing that family when and if you’re called upon. And not every man is going to be. It’s only going to be a select few, for whatever reason. It may be because they were good in the ring, or it may be because they’re the son of a father. McDonagh: I’ve seen guys fight in Dublin where guys fight a sister’s husband just because it’s a different name. He’s fought his brother-in-law. He’s fought his first cousin. He’s fought his uncle. Just because this guy’s got his mother’s name and that guy’s got his dad’s name. It comes down to the honor of your surname, and the pride of that, and keeping it alive and keeping it above other clans and other breeds of Traveller. Palmer: Let’s say we were brother and sister; you married someone he was feuding with. Your son would be one of them, right? So he’d be potentially an enemy for his son to fight. McDonagh: My sister’s kids would fight with my kids because they’re a Joyce. How do you feel about that? McDonagh: Terrible. Terrible. It’s not right, it’s wrong. I’m totally against it but if I go against it openly I’m going to [dishonor] my family. So as much as I hate it, it’s acceptable in my community. How does your family feel about you voicing your concerns in talking to me now, for instance? McDonagh: You know, this all started with Ian, talking with Ian. When we accepted Ian into the family when he started the documentary, we opened up to Ian and I opened up to him. I was the first person who started trusting Ian. Then my brother Michael, then it took a good few years for the girls to start trusting Ian. He was a nice guy, he used his own bit of charm to get around every one of us, and you know, we talked about me talking to the media now and I don’t mind doing it. I decided there are things in Knuckle that need to be told, and I don’t mind talking about it. In the film there are female members of the family who voice their opposition to the fighting tradition, who think it should stop. McDonagh: Yeah, the females, the women don’t want to do it. But in the traveler’s tradition and traveler culture, in this business of bare-knuckle boxing the women take a backseat. They can voice their opinions but the guys don’t listen to them, you know? The guys don’t listen because it’s all macho; the guys want to be seen as the leaders of those clans. Years ago, they probably should have listened to some of the older women and this would have never happened. It could have avoided a lot of tragedies, a lot of trouble, a lot of prison times… a lot of things could have been avoided if we sat around a table and talked. Hopefully in the future that will happen. You seem to have moved past this frame of mind yourself. McDonagh: I’ve seen the other side of the fence, and it’s greener. It’s better. I didn’t realize I had a choice in saying, “No, I don’t want to fight,” but I did, and I do. I should have said that years ago. Looking back on it I should have done it and I wanted to do it, but I would have let a lot of people down by not going out and defending my family name. Palmer: The thing is, if James had said no there would have been someone in his place. McDonagh: There would have been somebody in my place and I would have gone back to doing it because if they didn’t beat the guy, we would have been down — they would have been on top of this pedestal and it would be our decision to go and knock them off it. I’d have come back in, and trained on that, so it’s a never-ending circle. The only thing that stops you, really, is age. The older you get, you just have to move on and let someone younger take your place. Palmer: Then again, in the film there are two guys who are heading toward 60 [who are fighting]… And that’s the moment when you admit, within the film, that you began to have doubts about what you were doing filming these fights. Palmer: That was an eye-opener, yeah. At that time there were a few fights I thought were particularly violent, that impacted on me. McDonagh: Dangerous. Palmer: When the two old guys fight that’s Big Joe and Aney McGinley, both heading towards 60, James was the referee. We were up in the middle of the forest, there was a track going up, and it wasn’t that I was scared at that time, although it was a very tense time. There were a lot of people at that fight, which was not normal. Normally there’s very few people there. But all of the families that are represented in this film were there, within this forest clearing, screaming at each other, with James in the middle with one or two other guys to keep the peace — keep the peace between the families to let the fighters get on with what they were doing. But that wasn’t the reason I was put off. I was just weary of the whole thing. I was filming, and filming, and filming, and didn’t know when I was going to find an end or a way to finish the film, I had no money. And also I felt that when I looked at footage from that, here I was getting a kick out of it with the camera. I wasn’t finding a way to finish the film, I was finding a way to go to the fights. So there was kind of a self-realization there that I could be heading in the wrong direction, and I put it away for a bit and only came up when Michael was getting ready to do himself justice for what he’d done ten years before. The idea of getting enjoyment out of watching these fights… Palmer: By that stage it was starting to pop up on the Internet, too. When I met James first there were VHS tapes knocking around. McDonagh: Travellers didn’t know what Facebook or YouTube was. Palmer: The VHS tapes would be improved upon, eventually there were DVDs, and now they’re posting stuff on YouTube. How do you think that perverts the original intent? Palmer: It complicates it, for sure. I’ve had it said to me in Ireland that fair fights as they happen now are not the real thing. But there still are families who are feuding, going out, having referees organize a fair fight between men of the families to sort out some kind of problem. On the other hand, people are really heavily training, there’s money… McDonagh: It’s a business now. When I was doing that it wasn’t a business… nowadays what’s happened, and what’s made me stop is I’ve seen a different trend. It’s fueling the feuds. On a lighter note… Palmer: Love the weather! [Laughs] Knuckle was optioned to be remade into an HBO series [by David Gordon Green, Jody Hill, and Danny McBride]. How much do you think they’ll stay true to the spirit of the film? Palmer: Time’s the judge on that one. It wouldn’t be easy, but it’s a story which is full of drama, there’s family histories, there’s so much to explore in a fictionalization. It’s a really meaty story for actors, lots and lots of strands coming together. Are you worried at all that an adaptation might go astray from what Knuckle is all about? Palmer: You know, if I was getting involved in the fictionalization side of it with the point of view that it had to be exactly as it is in the film, it just wouldn’t happen. There’s got to be some kind of creative freedom to use the film, to use the secret, hidden world that I’ve presented, as a template for dramatic presentation of families who are feuding in a particular way. It’s got to have its own life at a certain point. Who do you think should, or could, play you if your story was dramatized onscreen? McDonagh: That’s a good question! Who could play me? I don’t know. Palmer: George Clooney? McDonagh: I doubt that. [Laughs] I don’t know, I like Vin Diesel, he’s a good character. Palmer: Brad Pitt? McDonagh: Yeah, he’s brilliant at the Irish accent. How did you like his depiction of traveler culture in Snatch? McDonagh: Brilliant, a brilliant portrayal. There are a lot of similarities in Snatch. You see Brad in the movie straight after his fight, smoking a fag; you see Michael after his fight, fag in his mouth, laughing about it! Same as Brad does. Yeah, he’s good. But Vin Diesel’s your pick? McDonagh: Vin Diesel, yeah.

Union Square

An Armian Pictures, Cine-Si production. (Worldwide sales: Cinetic Privileges Management, NY.) Created by Richard Guay, Neda Armian. Co-producers, Glen Trotiner, Peter Bobrow. Directed by Nancy Savoca. Script, Mary Tobler, Savoca.With: Mira Sorvino, Tammy Blanchard, Mike Doyle, Michael Rispoli, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Patti Lupone.Whatever "Union Square" may don't have any originality and surprise, it completely triumphs over through playfully caricatured performances along with a great generosity of spirit. Following a set of greatly different Bronx-born siblings (Mira Sorvino, Tammy Blanchard) who resolve their variations within the wake of the mother's dying, this funny and sincere feature, the very first in nearly ten years from director Nancy Savoca ("Household Saints"), stays carefully to some single apartment within the titular Manhattan neighborhood, but grows its simple narrative to incorporate an uncommon take a look at class-based pride and shame. Commercial prospects seems modest, consistent with the slender pic itself. Beginning in 1989 together with her Sundance prize-winning indie "Real Love,Inch Savoca's keen target the struggles and triumphs of working-class NYers has continued to be persistent despite the fact that "Union Square" is just her sixth feature and her first because the maid-in-Manhattan drama "Grime" in 2003. As though taking way of measuring all that's transformed in communication (and has not), Savoca's latest opens with Sorvino's put up-out Lucy, fresh from the subway in the Bronx, nervously typing and removing plaintive texts to Jay, the married business professional with whom she has been sleeping. Progressively finding, among compulsive shopping fits, that Jay will not want to consider another hookup, the flamboyantly costumed, heavily highlighted Lucy alternately weeps and screams into her mobile phone while tripping through Union Square, momentarily testing the viewer's persistence around her former lover's. With nowhere else to visit, overbearing Lucy pays an surprise trip to her estranged more youthful sister, the prim and proper Jenny (Tammy Blanchard), who runs an all natural meals biz together with her live-in fiance Bill (Mike Doyle) and it has been silently passing for upper-middle-class, telling Bill that her household is from Maine. Using the news from Lucy their mother (observed in homemovies, in which she's performed by Patti Lupone) has lately died of cancer, Jenny literally allows her hair lower, startling Bill and presaging other changes that find her humorously claiming back her working-class Italian roots. Savoca (who co-authored the script with Mary Tobler) causes it to be obvious that, despite Lucy's abrasively absurd attitude, it's Jenny that has been acting nutty by burying her identity within crippling facade of well-to-do control. The sisters' relationship is shown inside a garish brother or sister reality show, moments that are interspersed throughout. Superbly shot in HD by Lisa Leone, "Union Square" is certainly not otherwise schematic, but Savoca's palpable fascination with her figures -- coupled with winning turns from Sorvino and Blanchard -- produces a film whose warmth stands out through its formula. Both Jenny and Lucy -- in addition to Bill -- become suddenly supportive as well as adorable his or her class anxieties cave in to some cool kind of acceptance. Tech credits appear sparkling regardless of the film's small-scale.Camera (color), Lisa Leone editor, Jennifer Lee production designer, Sarah Frank art director, Josh Ente costume designer, Liz Prince seem, M.

Stellan Skarsgrd talks David Fincher's Dragon Tattoo

Has Stellan Skarsgård come over a bit Sigmund Freud? It seems the Swedish actor has a touch of the Austrian psychologist about him when it comes to comparing directors."They all have their own ways of working and the more talented the directors are, the more you want to know what their childhood was like really," the Thor and Avengers star told Superhero Hype."David Fincher said to me when we met, 'This will not be fun, because I sometimes do 40 takes of each set-up'. And I said, 'It better be fun, and I don't mind doing 40 takes, so let's make 40 fun takes'."So was it fun?"I really enjoyed it. He's very thorough, but it's not an anal thing," Skarsgård added. "You can actually do 40 takes that are 40 versions of a scene, which brings it to life."That being said, seems Fincher might be one to avoid for actors who like hanging out in their trailer."He works hard and fast, which means that you shoot all the time. You don't sit and wait and I like that," Skarsgård added.The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo opens on 26 December 2011.

10 Things About 'Contagion' That Bugged Us (Ding!)

If you had some issues with this weekend's box office champ 'Contagion,' you're not alone. Here at Moviefone HQ, the Steven Soderbergh-directed viral disaster thriller was a hot topic of debate; the science is all accurate (probably), but some of the other details didn't quite sit right. Ahead, the burning questions brought up by 'Contagion' upon leaving the theaters. (Warning: SPOILERS!) 1. If she was so dang contagious, would the hospital really release Gwyneth Paltrow's body to her family? You couldn't help but feel bad for Matt Damon's character when he was told by a funeral director that they wouldn't accept the bodies of his wife (Paltrow) and stepson because of the risk they posed to the general public. Yet, why did the hospital even release the bodies in the first place? Especially after the autopsy doctors were so alarmed by what they found while cutting into Paltrow's brain. (Also, ewww.) 2. Why was Matt Damon's character immune? Well, the film didn't explain that -- which was fine. Besides, it would just have resulted in more scientific mumbo-jumbo. What did need an explanation? 3. Why didn't someone steal his immunity wristband? A thing like that would have been priceless. Maybe no one else knew he had it under that bulky parka, but ... 4. No one broke into his house? The neighbors next door get gunned down, but Damon and his daughter are spared? Things in Minneapolis didn't look as grim as in San Francisco (where Jude Law's fiery blogger character was), but still, Damon, his house and his daughter look a-OK at film's end. 5. Would the Internet (and electricity, for that matter) still be up? With 2.5 million deaths in the U.S. alone, mass rioting and a general breakdown in society, it seems unlikely that people would be able to tweet, blog and text whenever they wanted. 6. What does Steven Soderbergh have against bloggers anyway? Jude Law's anti-government blogger had some valid points: Why make him the villain of the piece? 7. If you were given a tip from a top CDC official, would you post it to Facebook? Lawrence Fishburne's character gets in hot water for tipping off his fiancee to leave town because the friend she tells then posts the warning to Facebook, citing him as the source. We admire the friend's desire to alert the public, but whoa: way to betray a trust. 8. Did the village where Marion Cotillard was held hostage suddenly become immune? When she was first brought to the village and shown its scared survivors, they were all wearing scarves over their faces for fear of catching the deadly disease. By the time her ransom was ready to be paid, though, all the scarves were gone. Guess they didn't need those vaccines after all. 9. Whatever happened to the guy Gwyneth Paltrow was sleeping with? 'Contagion' never even showed the guy playing "John Neil," but you have to assume he wasn't feeling so well either. (Update: Big thanks to our readers who pointed out he was the first death in Chicago. A "Mr. Neil" was being wheeled out in a body bag in a quick scene.) 10. Is it too late to become a vegetarian? OK, that's not a nitpick, just a powerful urge to avoid all pork products from now on. The nitpick is (apart from how someone could kill such adorable piglets): Do pig farmers in Hong Kong really sell their livestock live? Not that it would have made a difference in how the disease was spread, but it definitely made us feel terrible for those little piggies. Did you notice anything that didn't quite feel right about 'Contagion'? How many times did you wash your hands after the film? Weigh in below. Photos: Warner Bros.

'New You are able to States Thank You': Greater than a 9/11 Documentary

On September 10, 2011, almost ten years towards the next day of the worst attack within our nation's history, 'New You are able to States Thank You' will screen for audiences across the nation. However, this is not your typical 9/11 documentary -- you will find no images around the globe Trade Center burning or shots of people running for cover, nor exist clips showing the collapse from the Twin Towers. This can be a 9/11 documentary that isn't about 9/11. "This is the toughest factor, it will get slotted in to the 9/11 [category]. However the story is not really about 9/11, it comes down to 9/12. It is much more about empathy than tragedy," describes director, Scott Rettberg. That's not saying that 'New You are able to States Thank You' skips over 9/11 entirely. Actually, the film begins off inside a familiar place: with FDNY people and regular New Yorkers briefly talking about their experience on that fateful day, then audio of 9/11 first responders over walkie-talkies. The film then jumps to, of places, Little Sioux, IA, where someone are creating a chapel. Before we go any more, some background first: 'New You are able to States Thank You' concentrates on a basis of the identical title. Founded by Shaun Parness in 2003, the audience looks to provide to a nation that was there for New york city in the most desperate duration of need. The concept was initially created by Parness' boy, Evan, who, after listening to the devastating California wildfires in 2003, recommended giving his old toys to individuals who had lost their houses. Right after, Shaun found themself driving mix-country inside a U-Haul to provide relief products. Along the side of the18 wheeler would be a banner that read, NEW You are able to States Thanks. "It had been our method of creating a statement that, while 2 yrs had passed because the World Trade Center terror attack, New Yorkers hadn't forgotten the romance and support we received from across America dads and moms, days, and several weeks following 9/11," Parness states about the foundation's website. Following the first trip, Parness switched his son's suggestion into a yearly outing: Every year, about the anniversary of 9/11, Parness would travel with volunteers from New You are able to City to assist rebuild towns that were destroyed by guy-made or disasters. Since that time, this program is continuing to grow tremendously, getting along individuals who volunteered the prior year. Enter Scott Rettberg. Once the director first learned about the building blocks in 2005, he immediately understood it had been a tale he needed to tell. "I acquired on the telephone with Shaun and that he explained about this, and 2 days later I am in Indiana with a lot of Amish people and firefighters," states Rettberg, mentioning towards the DeGonia Springs, IN project in which the foundation assisted develop a chapel within the wake of the tornado. After going through your time and effort top notch, Rettberg was amazed, not just by the support system of the particular foundation, however the reaction his production crew had. "I had been psychologically moved just seeing the interaction between each one of these different categories of people. To fly on the flight flight back and also have my crew, who can't stop speaking by what they have seen ... and just how amazing it had been on their behalf -- I had been like, this can be a story that needs to find out.Inch Within the hour-and-a-half documentary, Rettberg captures both feelings of the community ravaged with a disaster and also the effect the brand new You are able to States Thanks foundation has once they arrive to help. But possibly probably the most striking factor concerning the film may be the therapy it offers the firefighters along with other volunteers who have been impacted by 9/11. "I believe we taken how [a tragedy] changes people also it affects their existence with time, but simultaneously it really is altering individuals people who think they're altering others -- the firefighters are really healing themselves," states Rettberg. After 5 years of shooting, Rettberg and the editor required about the thorough task of piecing 250 hrs of footage together. Annually later, they arrived on the scene having a finished film, which told the storyline via a very unique structure. By concentrating on a particular build throughout the film (the small Sioux, IA project last year), Rettberg could expensive to show where and when the various categories of people had became a member of the building blocks, may it be from previous develops or New You are able to City. 'New You are able to States Thank You' opened this past year in the Tribeca Film Festival. The film has become finally screening for any wide audience, in theaters which weekend on FOX, before a wedding anniversary where individuals will spend your day reflecting and recalling family members. It's possibly fitting then, this particular documentary could not happen to be come up with with no support and the aid of others (for instance, Rettberg barely needed to purchase the editing facility in Dallas where they assemble it). "This film would not be possible without the quantity of people who joined together to get it done. A lot of people have contributed their week or whatever their time would be to get this to film," states Rettberg. "[Anybody] that may toss in to create this film happen, did. Therefore it is really this collage of everybody in the usa causeing this to be film."
