I wonder how much they'll save by skipping the Theatre phase?

I rarely go to the movies and just wait for the DVD release, but I was planning to see this one just to give the finger to Kim Jong Chub.

Sony’s response seems rather cowardly, knuckling under to empty threats. But if their customers were not buying the movie.....

Is NK going to hack any company that sells it, including Amazon and Best Buy? Think about it.

maybe because all these years Hollywood was so brazen about making movies that degrade Christians and never suffered for it, they figured they could just make a movie about assassinating a current leader (regardless of that, knew what you were thinking), and get away with it.
as Marxists, I hope they experience even more disappointments.
