The terrorists have won!
Quote:
Earlier Wednesday, Sony pulled the film, which depicts the assassination of North Korea's leader, following a threat that people should avoid going to theaters where "The Interview" is playing. The country's major theater companies had said they had decided to postpone or cancel next week's showing.
"In light of the decision by the majority of our exhibitors not to show the film "The Interview," we have decided not to move forward with the planned December 25 theatrical release," Sony said in its first statement on the matter.
"Sony Pictures has been the victim of an unprecedented criminal assault against our employees, our customers, and our business. ... We are deeply saddened at this brazen effort to suppress the distribution of a movie. ... We stand by our filmmakers and their right to free expression and are extremely disappointed by this outcome."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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



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

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.
