Sony cancels The Interview

I'm sad that Sony took this seriously time to start drinking 🍺

I think Sony was stupid. If North Korea made good on their terror threat the U.S. would have annihilated them. But maybe that's why they didn't release it, so the North Koreans don't potentially start a costly war over a movie. So never mind my beginning sentence.

Let's just fricking attack Korea now.

Anyone feel like Kickstarting my project? I am going to make Jet Li dress as Kim Jong-un and kick Clint Eastwood's feeble cowboy-ass all over the world, with Clint just mumbling, "Please, it was just a joke, I don't want to fight, I don't want any trouble, please don't hurt me..."

Calm down. I doubt the movie was going to be that good anyway. Seth Rogan is no Parker and Stone.

I had no interest in the movie until all this shit started

TBF, IIRC it is illegal for a US film or TV show to explicitly show the death of an incumbent POTUS on-screen, so I am unsure why the rule should be lifted for other heads of state.

Making a movie about Pres. Obama getting assassinated would land you a spot in the FBI/CIA hitlist.

Not that funny. Trailers looked OK at best.

First, I am not American.

Don't worry about it, neither is Sony.

Some interesting responses:

“My recommendation would be that people go to the movies.” – President Obama to ABC News.

“An un-American act of cowardice that validates terrorist actions and sets a terrifying precedent.” – Jimmy Kimmel to Judd Apatow on Twitter.

“Dear Sony Hackers: now that u run Hollywood, I’d also like less romantic comedies, fewer Michael Bay movies and no more Transformers. Also, Sony Hackers – I really liked Tyler Perry in “Gone Girl” so hold off on doing anything yet with Madea.” – Michael Moore on Twitter.

Have to wonder what the N. Korean press is saying about this.

Who would see this stupid movie about North Korea on Christmas Day anyways. Stupid ass idea.

I would, just to piss off North Korea. Wouldn't you? 😉

Talk of boycotting Sony over this fiasco.

Cowardly American pigs tremble before the might of our glorious leader.

This is why politics and entertainment should never go hand-in-hand.

What a horrible idea. Numerous insightful critiques and/or important calls to action have happened through entertainment media.

Nah, I'll see American Sniper.

What I disagree with is this: I can understand theaters not wanting to show the movie, for safety concerns. But to avoid being sued?! Excuse me, but if I go to the movies, that's my decision. No one is putting a gun to my head and saying I have to see the film. But then, that is part of the American psyche: if something happens to me, it's never my fault.

Time for the American mindset -- nothing-should-interfere-with-my-"right"-to-walk-Manhattan-streets-in-flipflops-while-burying-my-attention-in-my-mobile-device-cuz-I'm-updating-my-facebook-page-ie-my-realty-show-life-everyone-should-know-about -- to grow up. This is the world we live. Complacency is a liability. That's how they got us on 9/11; that's how they got us here.
