Or sell it to Netflix.
I guess I can’t play “Mecinaries” any more.
Sony poured $44,000,000 into this movie, and they’re supposed to just give it away for free?
Hollywood liberals only take “Principled, personal stands” against those they know they won’t shoot back, like Christians, White People, Republicans, etc.
That’s if any of this is for real. From the look of things it seems to me this is all about making Jews look bad, Scott Rudin and Amy Pascal who are both Jewish execs for Sony and their emails are released making them look racist, sexist. North Korea is made fun of all the time, the movie “Team America” made fun of Kim Jung Il, how come there were no threats over that? I don’t trust anything under this administration.
Schedule at EVERY movie house in the USA...and offer free admission.
It is not veto power. But if Sony can make an assassination movie because our culture eats it up then I suppose NK can hack into their information and make threats, which is hunky-dorey in their culture.
Sometimes we American’s act like spoiled brats. The idea of even making a move about assassinating a foreign leader is stupid. They could have done it by fictionalizing the names and places. But no.
How about a movie about murdering Romney? I mean, some things are just in poor taste.
Just because Kim is a monster doesn’t mean we should be monsters, too.
Seems to me the issue is not the hacking, but the threat.
Anyone that doesn’t like a movie for whatever can threaten violence at theaters to stop it’s showing.
Romney - Has a brilliant idea. He ought buy the movie and release it himself.
I think Sony could be running a too clever by half marketing scheme here. Gin up interest in the film by withholding release. Then have a change of heart in the interest of the free market and free expression in a ploy to get the patriotic rubes to the box office.
It’s not “Wag The Dog”, it’s “Wag The Movie” !
I say that Sony agreed to not release the movie in exchange for the Norks not revealing the “Christmas Surprise” they have in their possession.
No, Mr. Newt is the presidential material; this was his idea, not Romney’s, and Mr. Newt also said it should be released internationally, and that it should be subtitled in Korean.
For free is the right idea, I have no interest in providing capital to SONY and the Hollyweed left.
Whatever the (lack of) artistic merits, this movie reminds me of “The Great Dictator” starring Charlie Chaplin in 1936. There was absolutely no question which dictator was lampooned. Do you suppose anyone here cared what Hitler thought? Sony and the theater chains are cowards.
Allahpundit has always been a Romney fan. If Romney broke wind, Allahpundit would seize on the aroma as evidence that Romney is presidential timber.
It would have been fine to do it during Bush's tenure. Kim Jong-il knew that Bush was itching for an excuse, any excuse, to remove him.
