Because the point of the "HACK" was to stop the film for being viewed.

I want every one to see that movie now.

We can't give in to this kinda BS.

Seth Rogen is moderately funny in relatively small doses.

Jack Black is gawd awful.

Chris Farley was marginally funny in tiny doses.

Well, IMO, it was stupid for Sony to allow the film to be made using a real-life dictator, especially when said dictator has shaky relations with the US and Japan.

Did no one at Sony stop to think about the ramifications of a film whose premise is to assassinate a real life leader? This whole mess could have been easily avoided had they instead used a caricature of Korea and its leader.

Amy Pascal should be looking for a job today, not overseeing Sony strategy.

"We"? Who's "we"?

Do you work for Sony?

Society.

Sorry, it is really disappointing.

Has the market not tired of the Rogen/Franco combo yet?

Who else watched that last piece of shit they made?

It's not a "societal" issue.

Sony decided to make a film about assassinating the leader of a nation. North Korea warned of repercussions but didn't budge. It was a dumb move on their part.

Don't you think the leader of China or even Putin would be outraged if Sony would have greenlit a movie about assassinating either? The whole idea of using a real life person was just a bad idea.

Your avatar is spectacularly well chosen.

Kind of like that Red Dawn remake a couple years ago. The invading country was originally supposed to be China but they chickened out and made it North Korea instead. :doh!:

I love it when douchebag leg wetters are victims of their own wussiness. LMAO

I fully expect South Park to have an "Interview" episode soon... Kim Jong Brah..

I've seen some celebs slamming Sony for caving.

What choice did Sony actually have when the exhibitors decided not to show the film? Open it in 20 independent theaters across the US?

LMAO

I'd put dollars to donuts that the final decision came from Japan, not Culver City.

All of those people are already in my Twitter feed. A few comments from people powerful enough in the business to withstand any blowback, BTW.

This is the part of that article, IMO, that's most relevant to the situation:

Some might find it slightly odd, though, that a Japanese company stands accused of being un-American.

I didn't realize that North Koreans are also intolerant Muslims.
