How are you able to make such judgements unless you have?And you say you can\’t see any other reason to release the film. How about the most important reason – to show that we aren\’t afraid, and that We won\’t run and hide every time someone tries to scare us? While this movie may not be your particular cup of tea, you most certainly may choose to not go see it. But to be told we can\’t go see it because some pissed-off little tyrant on the other side of the globe got his panties in a bunch and sicced his state owned hackers on us – well, now I want to see it. I want to choose to see it. I don\’t want a bunch of scared people making that decision for me, telling me I can\’t.

And what a surprise it will be when, in a month and a half\’s time, the movie will come out to maximum box-office effect. Did no-one see Four Lions???

BUT not to sound too terribly cynical, but did Pascal promise something to Clooney for this? Afterall, they have an extremely close relationship and this is not the first time he has defended them when they got into a mess. The company should do more to protect their everyday employees and not worry so much about its image. They protect and stroke the million dollar talent who kiss their asses, but if you dare show independence, or do what you want, you get trashed.

Yes a dictator in North Korea is responsible for this and it is a shame. But maybe the leadership at Sony should not act like dictators themselves and care about he people that work for a living and do more to protect them and not get the expensive talent to exonerate your sloppiness and poor management skills.

We need someone that will not take the shit that these other countries keep dishing out to us. I am really getting sick of it. I say play the movie and anything that happens because of it, no matter who it is, we take it out double on North Korea.

What does is matter what his personal emails said? If you read the above article, you would see that the whole point is to stand up to these cyber-terrorists (because that\’s what they are) and say that we are not afraid, and we will not run and hide every time someone tries to threaten us. Sounds like you agree with all those people, Atomic Fury, who think that the studio was right to pull the film. Is that what you\’re trying to say?

You cannot make this stuff up. Yet people fall for the most obvious of lies. No wonder people act, vote and form beliefs that are against their best interests. Oh well.

The FBI said they\’re responsible and the POTUS said they will deal with this. The government don\’t sell comedies.

Also, I\’m sick of all people telling that The Interview is a subpar silly movie. We didn\’t see it yet and it totally doesn\’t matter. That\’s not the point!

Not just because of its incendiary nature but also because the trailer reveals it to be totally without humor. And I say that as a fan of Seth Rogen.

Who told us it was North Korea? The FBI claims that it was, but North Korea has only praised the action, not claimed it.
This could just be an inside job, FBI..CIA..??? in an effort to generate fear, and eventually rally the U.S. into a new era of warfare against North Korea and other like them.
Obama\’s on stand by to sell the us the cyber spying safety blanket of the NSA.
Who knows?
