I'm kinda surprised there is not a thread on this already.
The terrorists are winning.

Sony says they are not going to release the picture at all now. I know somebody out there has a copy that they can pirate... it will be worth $$$$$... but yeah, North Korea just won.

Fear will be all that government needs to control every aspect of our lives.

If we change our lifestyle, the terrorists win.

This is dumb.

I watch the news every night and think; 'This is our world' Sometimes I think there is more intolerance in the name being tolerant that there ever was through out history. Every body gets so butt hurt over everything.

This will piss backwards all over North Korea. At least in the eyes of most of the world.

North Korea will claim innocence.

Not that any of its citizens will know what happened, but this was clearly a cyber attack by that crazy midget leader to keep his gigantic ego intact.

Just amazes me how a lunatic like that can control a whole Country of people, and block out the rest of the world.

It is a comedy, not a Biography. Get over it, you insecure moran...

The movie will probably make more money now than it ever would have. Wouldn't surprise me if Sony is behind the entire thing. Look at all the free press.

It'll be available shortly if not already, I guarantee it. Though I've heard the movie is a flop regardless of the controversy.

The theaters caved. Obama said see the movie. One of the only things Obama ever said that I agree with.
This sets a precedence, anytime someone is offended or butt hurt about a movie or whatever, they will threaten and (the collective) we will cower.

Do you really think Sony would release all of those embarrassing emails, health records, pay levels ect. just to get more people to go see a $42M Seth Rogan comedy?

On the bright side, we are being spared another piece of crap Seth Rogen movie.

Lol. It is a zoo in the moto section right now. . .

I wish the US would start making a bigger mockery of Pyongyang. The guys a little fucker.

Are we sure they're not going to release the film at all or are they just postponing the airing? Sony's comments are vague so it makes me think that they are being considerate to the theaters. I read that Christmas is their busiest time of the season.

I am absolutely disgusted by the theaters the dropped the movie and for Sony for scrapping it. We don't negotiate with terrorists, we simply give them what they want.

It makes me furious to know that some spineless terrorist with a keyboard is suppressing our rights. This is one instance where the government should have stepped up a lot bigger. But our government allowed our people to be scared into hiding under threats and did nothing about it.

Yeah. It's definitely horseshit. And especially for these "terrorists" to be from North Korea. That guy's threat reach is about 1 mile off his border. I keep hoping he tries to launch a nuke and have it blow up in his face.

I somewhat understand the theater's position. Christmas is one of their busiest days out of the year. If they were just delaying airing the movie, I could understand the logic in not jeopardizing their revenue on that day. Regardless of circumstance, there would be a number of people not going to the movie "just in case".

Personally, I don't fear these kinds of things. Especially from a little bitch like Kim Dong Un. I love it when we do things that they condemn and I was going to go see this movie just to spite that little fucker.

I heard if the movie is a flop they get no insurance money, but if they pull the plug now, it's a "total loss" that the insurance will cover.

I find it ridiculous is that someone would even consider commisioning such a film in the first place.

It might be amusing to poke a little fun at Kim Jong-un but I wonder how you guys would react if North Korea or Russia produced a film about assassinating the current American president? I'd hazard a guess most of you would propose something more drastic than a cyber attack.

What is Obama's approval rating right now? 46%?

Safe to say that 54% of Americans would watch the movie. And 99% of Americans wouldn't propose anything be done about it.

I expected someone to say that.

But Im still certain that most of you guys would be fucking apoplectic with rage, no matter who the president was at the time.

There are many movies already out there about assassinating the president and many other leaders. They are just movies. Cowering to the morons is pathetic. The good news is we don't have to sit through another Seth Rogan movie. We are spineless and weak.

I realise that, but making a satirical comedy about assassinating a current president of a hostile foreign country is pretty irresponsible if you ask me.

Have you seen the quality of the films that Russians and Koreans are producing these days?? I would say they are "laughable" at best, but I don't even think I would laugh, it would be a crock of shit that nobody would even care about and wouldn't last two mintues in a theater. Yes, some people would propose that we blow them fuckers to kingdom come, but we wouldn't.

And we've already made movies in our own country that depict acts far worse than killing the president that nobody seems to fuss about (not to mention the movies that actually do depict the president dying).

"We" wouldn't get upset. A few crazy lunatics would. And I can guarantee you that our president's bag of fucks would still be completely full, unlike that little shit that emptied his out over the first movie depicting him a negative fashion.

You're entitled to your opinion...and we'll just have to agree to disagree..."but I'm still certain that most" Americans wouldn't care.

The quality of the film isn't really the point, it's the provocative nature of the storyline. There may well be lots of films which depict the assassination of an American president, but how many have been made by countries that the US have had long running military feuds with.

Just to be clear Im far from being some sort of moral activist, I do realise there's a place for satirical comedy. I thought Team America was hilarious, but throwing Kim Jong-il over a balcony wasn't really the sole plot of the film.

Were they using Kim Jong Un's name in the movie? Or were they calling him something different? It doesn't particularly matter either way but a lot of times in movies, they reference someone but call them a different name. Tacky or not, it's legal and shouldn't be censored based on terrorist threats. And a movie is not a "hostile" move or whatever the hell else NK is accusing us of.

And after all of the shit he talks on America and South Korea, he wants us to censor what we're saying? And he's getting away with it. Agreed with Void, it's a spineless and weak move on Sony's part.

My best guess is that the hackers have gotten some information that Sony DOES NOT want to be released. . .

I see what you're getting at, but I think the quality of the film has everything to do with why he's freaking out about it all. If it was the exact same storyline produced by some kids with phone cameras on Youtube, he wouldn't give two shits about it. The fact that it's a major blockbuster produced by a multi-million (billion?) dollar company that millions of people want to go see is what makes Lil Kim-Jong upset.

Also, the countries that we have long-running military feuds with don't produce movies. That's why there haven't been any made. That's also why we have long-running military feuds with those countries, because they deny their citizens things like free-speech, education, financial stability, or the access to luxuries like computers and cameras.

Of COURSE it is in bad taste. It's Seth Rogan for crying out loud! Smile North Korea is a lot like Psyco in Stripes. Our response should be "Lighten up Francis".
