Sony Cancels The Interview

[nate]

This is already a nightmare for the industry.

This could be a nightmare for the industry.  It seems no one wants to host it right now.  So they may have to resort to a legit torrent site.  Which will introduce millions to torrents.

 

You mean viruses.

[Stradling]

I am sure these records were on internet connected servers because they are a global company and multiple locations need access to the data.

Not good enough for mp.

Evidently the entire North Korean internet is down and Kim Jong Un can no longer play World of Warcraft.

Kim Jung has been playing World of Warcraft in real life on his citizens.

[tdawg87]

I actually hate North Korea more because of Un's hideous hairdo than anything else.

[QuinlansMinion]

So Obamas retaliation is shuttig down their internet. Thats cool.

[nate]

They are going to release it in some theaters after all.

Government must have told the Sony execs to quit acting like a bunch of pansies.

BREAKING: Several US theaters say they will screen `The Interview' on Thursday; Sony yet to comment.

While I applaud it, I'm not sure releasing it in only a few locations is smart. Release it everywhere.

 

It takes 2 to tango.  Sony can want to release it all they want, but if the major theaters won't show it, it won't be shown.

While I won't see it on Thursday, I would be willing to go watch it now.  Hopefully they will show it in L.A. at multiple locations.

Releasing this kind of film on Christmas day is pretty tasteless by Sony in the first place.

As opposed to two war movies and a movie about a degen gambler?

Not sure if North Korea is behind this but a nuclear power plant in South Korea has been hacked.

 

"The latest attack resulted in the leak of personal details of 10,000 KHNP workers, designs and manuals for at least two reactors, electricity flow charts and estimates of radiation exposure among local residents. There was no evidence, however, that the nuclear control systems had been hacked."

“I can open to the world 100,000 pages of data that have not yet been revealed,” the hacker said in the post, cited by Korea’s Yonhap news agency. “You say this isn’t confidential material. Let’s see if you will take responsibility if the information on blueprints, systems and programs are all disclosed to the countries that want them.”

Not saying any of the other studios are any better. The classlessness of industry executives is well documented.

What makes Christmas any different than any other holiday that movies are released?  What does the content of the movie have anything to do with it?

[Blarg]

That is exactly what I am referring to.

[nate]

You didn't answer my question.  What does the content of a movie matter for Christmas release?  Should they only release Christmas movies and Jesus movies and not make any money because that's not what people want to see?

[Blarg]

You didn't read my response.

[1nutkruk]

I am wondering if we (Starz) will be airing in August as scheduled. I bet our lawyers are going in circles with Sony's lawyers.

[nate]

You didn't read my response.

 

I did, how is it classless?

It is being released on Christmas now. Why doesn't Obama complain about Regal and other movie chains who won't play the movie.

i bet it sucks
