Hollywood - collectively - should have bought the movie - and helped ‘give it away’. Free to ANYONE who wanted to see it on the Internet. Free to any movie theater willing to show it...

Hollyweirdos? Do something altruistic----without getting something in return? Nevah happen.

Civil Rights Group Asks Sony to Fire Amy Pascal Over Leaked (Racially-tinged) Emails....

Plus Jeffrey Katzenberg is none too pleased about Amy calling his Obama fund-raiser "stupid."

==================================================

The buzz is Pascal is on her way out. She'll be missed.

Among Sony insiders Pascal's nickname is "Electrolux."

You do the math. LOL

the German director behind the disaster movie "2012" admitted he would show Mecca being destroyed because he feared there would be a price on his head. He had no problem destroying the Vatican and the Jesus status overlooking Rio de Janiero.

You're referring, of course, to the homosexual Roland Emmerich, who also made "Day After Tomorrow" where he gleefully got to kill George W. Bush and make Dick Cheney into a craven buffoon.

And bragged about it.

Jeffrey Katzenberg is none too pleased about Amy Pascal calling his Obama fund-raiser "stupid." Course, Gruberized Hollyweirdos don't have any qualms about calling American ticket-buyers "stupid"....

In fact, crooning "stupid Americans" is the new sex aid among the Hollywood sexerati.

A boon for starlets---they used to have to audition on their knees in sleazy motels---now all they have to do is croon "stupid Americans" in the producer's ear.... and they get the part.

(BTW, among Hollyweirdos, Katzenberg is AKA "Penis Plenty").

It's not altruism ... it's a stick in the eye to North Korean thugs.

It tells them ‘if you try to blackmail me’ I'll give you 50 more pictures to use and I'll run to everyone I know and tell them first AND I'll see your sorry ass in jail’...

Not only should Hollywood give the movie away - and stand together as a team, but if there's ‘retribution’ against Hollywood we should nuke the evil little sh*t.

This is the first demand for 'protection money' from a world class thug - our response will define how much OR if - we're willing to pay. This is NOT minor. And remember - conservatives hate Hollywood... me included. So it's not easy suggesting we risk all to stand with them.

Wow remember The 3 Stooges made an episode mocking Hitler, even Rod Serling made an episode mocking Fidel Castro. They went ahead and aired it. Old Hollywood was strong, patriotic with courage. Now today’s Hollyweird hide behind momny when a short fat dude with funby hair rattles up with verbal threats.

The film will not be released online or anywhere else because Sony can now write it off. They will make money losing money.

“Kudos for Clooney for trying to stand up for a Free Speech society.”

Hardly. Clooney has a close relationship with Pascal and he’s trying to save his friends in high places. Liberals don’t give a damn about free speech or they wouldn’t freak over offending the black ‘Dear Leader’ (have to distinguish since North Korea is involved).

Who Directed, Wrote, and Starred in Monuments Men? George Clooney. Who released it? Sony Pictures.

This kerfuffle may just cost Sony $200 million...$80 million productions costs, the rest lost profit and image re-building.

Sure its a dumb movie...but it did cost them $80 million to make it. And that has now been flushed down the toilet.

I find it interesting because, when forced to sit through parts of the Academy Awards around 10 years ago, I noticed that the actor’s speeches made themselves sound like they were being repressed by a demonic regime (Bush). Well now they really have been repressed by an evil regime. I wonder what they’ll say now. It was so important to their ‘art’ to ‘speak out’ against Bush....I just wonder if their ‘art’ is still important enough to ‘speak out’ again the NORKS.

Maybe they have to wait until the adults are back at the helm of our government, before they feel safe enough to cross the NORKS.

This whole incident is a teachable moment for US Christians, tired of being the day-in day-out whipping boy of Hollywood. It’s more obvious than ever that the Hollywoodenheads attack Christianity because they have no fear of them, for good reason; they’re nowhere near as brave in the face of a physical threat.

Now, however, it appears that a phone call or e-mail threatening terrorism is all it takes to get Hollywood to wet themselves and turn tail.

Good to know. Maher, are you paying attention?

Kudos for Clooney for trying ...to set the groundwork for the formation of a portfolio in anticipation of a future run for political office.
