SONY Pictures succumbs to their new master.

Just like they'd do if the Catholic Church objected to a movie.
Cannot let 2nd amendment people defending free speech look like heros. The government and powers that be would rather succumb to Kim than see that happening.
Disclaimer: I know the following proposal will not work because the left likes KJU and hates Christians...
So next time Hollywood makes a movie mocking Christians, traditional values, and patriotism, all we have to do is threaten to blow up the theater and they’ll completely pull the movie?
No, they're canceling "The Interview" because they had their system hacked and their dirty laundry aired.
An early 20th Century liberal, Lewis Sinclaire said it best: class is not about wealth, it is about what you do with wealth, whether using money to buy books or beer.
Oh my, how liberals have changed. Obama is very similar to the dictator Buz too.
Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea by New Regency was just cancelled and Paramount is forbidding theaters from showing Team America: World Peace.
We are now officially a country of pussies.
IOW...they are being blackmailed.
It's pretty funny really.....We've got big time LIBS being expose for talking racist, sexist, homophobic..etc..etc...
Let the e-mails free!!!
Whoops, Police not peace
Caving in to the enemy.
Obama’s foreign policy in the last 6 years. Now Sony is following by example. If we have a spineless government, then, how can anyone in the country, or any company, feel secure in what they do? Freedom of speech is valid, but only if North Korea and other tin-pot dictators say so.
No. They’re postponing it because terror attacks were threatened and none of the big chains wanted to be the site of the {Our Brand} Christmas Massacre. And you can’t really blame them, sure PROBABLY nothing will, PROBABLY it’s all a bluff. But if your job is to protect the brand your job is to say “no, we aren’t opening this movie on Christmas”.
Team America: World Peace
Just to let ya'll know, "Team America: World Peace" is available on Netflix if you haven't already seen it.
This would have been fine if they had hacked movies like...Steel Magnolias, Bridges of Madison County, The Color Purple, etc. ...movies that should have never been released...
There’s more behind this than anyone is letting on. Now they’ve cancelled at least one movie about NK that was in production and Paramount doesn’t want theaters to show “Team America”.
I personally think it has a lot more to do with what is in the emails than anything. Things like illegal Hollywood political activities, illegal fundraising and coordination etc.
I hope “Hollywood” hasn’t threatened the media enough that they won’t broadcast what’s in the emails. I can’t wait to see the contents. It must be really bad! Hilarious!
“Paramount is forbidding theaters from showing Team America: World Peace.”
Well, let’s be clear here. Paramount is forbidding theaters from showing Team America WITHOUT permission. Just like any studio would if someone was stupid enough to publicize that they were having a public airing of a film they don’t own the rights to without getting permission first.
Message: If you don’t like how Hollywood treats your group, threaten to kill studio executives.
Its crazy.
