Nope.

You don't give in to terrorists and you don't live in fear.

With all those theaters deciding not to show it, I guess they had no choice.

 

[Asr]

Sony should just release it straight to DVD & Blu-Ray.

 

[Sawyer]

Sony should just release it straight to DVD & Blu-Ray.

Then these f***wads would be threatening to shoot up Targets and Walmarts instead of movie theaters.

 

[Pickleweasel]

Damn didn't think they'd actually pull it

 

[terry78]

And they bent over and let them go in without a condom or lube. Done and done.

 

[TheVileOne]

They shouldn't have pulled the theatrical release.

I understand, but it should not have happened.

 

[Slushy]

You guys don't understand. Countless North Koreans have been killed or imprisoned for decades because of the Kim family! Citizens have been brainwashed since they were kids to worship The Great Ruler and every single thing they do is controlled or under watch by government officials. Even the smallest mistake would get them or their families executed or sent away to be tortured at a concentration camp.

So yeah, to you its just a movie, but introduce it to 25 million people held captive and everything they've been taught since they were young about their self-proclaimed God gets destroyed and Kim's iron fist over his people slowly loosens! So ironically, a comedy film of all things has become one of the most important steps in the global human rights movement!

 

[terry78]

They finna get some people shot.

 

[Lencho01]

I'm in the camp that it's understandable that the studio cancelled it, but it's straight up ******** that the theaters caved in like this.

 

[warhorse78]

They shouldn't have pulled the theatrical release.

I understand, but it should not have happened.

Tell me about it. What's next? Mockingjay 2 being threatened because the hero is a woman? This was a bad move. I thought we don't cave into terrorist threats?

 

[PWN3R]

At this point they should do VOD or go super meta and just release it on torrents to really send a spirited **** you to the Guardians of Peace *******s.


This is so much bull. I was so ready for this. Love Franco/Rogen bromances.

 

[TheVileOne]

That's the government. I guess Sony Pictures doesn't have to apply to that view.

 

[Slushy]

North Koreans are loyal to Kim just as Muslim extremists are to Muhammad and Allah. There's no doubt in my mind an attack in the theaters would've happened had it been released.

North Korea wasn't behind this, most likely.

 

[Slushy]

Highly doubt it.

 

[Havok83]

I cant believe a movie like this even existed. IMO, its in extremely poor taste

 

[Thundercrack85]

Wow, North Korea just won something. That's crazy.

 

[Greens]

I cant believe a movie like this even existed. IMO, its in extremely poor taste

Making fun of a crazy dictator, yeah that's poor taste.

 

[Dasher10]

This is beyond stupid. North Korea shouldn't be allowed to dictate what the rest of the world is allowed to see.

 

[Havok83]

Making fun of a crazy dictator, yeah that's poor taste.

Making a movie about assassinating a living world leader is. Id feel the same way if I learned this was being done elsewhere with Obama as the target of the assassination plotline. Im pretty sure most people in the US who are acting all outraged about this wouldnt be too happy and thinking "its just fun" if said movie was made in a foreign country about a US president. Just IMO, but I think theres alot of hypocrisy, especially in the media in regards to this

A living world leader who tortures his own people.

I guess Team America dodged a bullet.

 

[Boom]

And making a movie depicting his assassination in a comedic light doesn't exactly make us look like good guys.

Not to say that it's comparable to him torturing his own people. But for the pride that Americans take in being the bigger people in hostile situations, this doesn't help to back that up.
