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."

I have zero belief that they would carry anything physical out on U.S. soil. If I didn't have better things to do I would have been fine going to see the movie myself at it's opening in spite of the threats, because they are about as meaningful to me as Kim Jong Un saying he is going to nuke L.A.

I think they were trying to use fear to scare the American people into not going to see the movie opening, thus damaging Sony's ability to make money off of it. Ironically the drama surrounding this has probably increased the film's money-making potential 100-fold.

So, apparently, the vocal majority of Chiefsplanet feels like Sony should have ignored the threat and just opened the movie in eight days, correct?



It's not just one country's citizens at stake here: Sony is a Japanese owned company and with their very frosty relations with North Korea, there could be repercussions there as well.

As a former exec in the entertainment business, not the terror or military or police business, erring on the side of caution is a better solution than to put lives at risk, especially when the White House states that this incident was a threat to national security.

They are. Seth is shit and has done barely anything that was actually funny. Maybe we should not piss off crazy countries like NK? Is it worth possible deaths for this idiotic movie to be played? Hell no.

I'll say this. If North Korea so much as issues a press release condemning Star Wars Episode 7, I will be calling for President Obama to pick up the red phone.

Do you think this is the first time in history that a group of people stopped the release of art of any kind, whether it's music, art, film, TV, books, etc.?

Sony could have avoided this situation from the beginning by changing NK to a fictional country, something that's been happening in film for decades. They have no one to blame but themselves.

I seriously doubt that. I've never once heard of any company, even the brightest and boldest in technology, making a claim that they "couldn't" be hacked. You do the best you can to defend, but there are too many angles that make it easy for people to do from halfway around the world.

This is a much funnier and more provocative concept. Kim Jong Un is an absolute monster. People are frustrated by his very existence and the fact that he apparently will just get to keep on with his brutal reign for the entirety of his life.

A fictional country would not carry the weight. Part of the hilarity and charm of it is directly making a mockery of this specific piece of shit.

Caving to demands like this is always a good thing, because it never leads to a repeat.

Yes, they did. Fox also cancelled a NK-based feature film today that was to star Steve Carrell. They're already dealing with one hacking case.

Could you imagine the aftermath of an NK based hack of Fox? Apparently, they did and aren't taking that chance.
