When World War III starts, it will be Seth Rogen's fault

[Sylvain]

I wonder if Sony will show the movie outside of the US.

Probably at least in San Fransokyo

I would go see the stupid movie just to tell Kim the latest to go pound sand. Now I can't even do that thanks to a bunch of mamby-pambies.

Maybe Kim is re-thinking the "don't let anyone leave the country, EVER" policy. It would be a lot easier to carry out state-sponsored terrorism if you actually let them leave. They could come here on student visas and never leave; you know like the 9/11 hijackers or Barry's uncle.

I think we could settle with some joint military operations with South Korea to get the point across. Maybe test out some new ICBM model or something.

Oh, here's an idea. Set up some big projection screens on the North/South Korean border. Play the film all day every day for a week. Make sure the North Korean soldiers at the observation posts get a nice view of it.

or project it like the bat signal

Should've released just for the 'poke in the eye' factor.

North Korea now enjoys veto power over what’s playing at your neighborhood movie theater

movie the interview

Movie that I have never wanted to see more in my life. More than cheesy Godzilla movies when I was 12. F&@( North Korean hackers.

 

[MilliJac]

I would have gone to see it on principle.

 

[wizardfitz]

What do you expect from Hollywood bowing to terrorist demands. Im surprised the movie wad even made with all the PC correctness.

 

[Tula47]

Was it forced to be pulled? I just saw a commercial for it last night.

Being discussed here......

Still, I'll buy it on DVD...... just on principal.

 

[printcraft]

So, the template has been set............... I wonder what movie they will demand be pulled next or "terrorism".

If SONY is doing this for any reason related to threats then that is a massive fail.
It may not be threats of attack, but the release of other movies, and info that the Norks are still holding onto as a ransom.
Now, that information can't really be good past a year or two.....
They should hold this movie for that time and release it afterward instead of scrapping it completely.

 

[dustinfz6r]

They were expecting to make $20 million opening weekend, it didn't say how much it cost to make the film but Sony is loosing a ton of money on this deal.

*America will NEVER give in to the demands of terrorists! (unless they don't like our movies in which case we will fold like a beach chair.)

 

[T.Lex]

Yeah, I thought of that, too. Some of the emails that have been released are really more important than the threats. The stuff in those emails make people look bad in an industry where perception is everything.

Seems like the leverage point may not be the movie itself, but what other docs/emails are out there.

 

[Kurr]

Yet Death of a President was ok to show?!?

 

[HoughMade]

Our media hasn't been this supportive of North Korea since M*A*S*H.

 

[Thegeek]

Tony Katz made a good statement this morning. If our Government allows terrorist style threats to stomp on our freedoms, unchecked, what's next?

Here's the best solution I can come up with.... release the movie for showing..... in China.
