...I agree with him, it should have been released-to hell with these people....and the cynical side of me wonders just how much of a "cash cow" all this publicity will end up being for Sony, and that they recognized it all along...
My idea was to play it on all the digital displays that USA have that normally display adverts, so you can watch or not watch as you go about your daily business and no cinema chain need feel threatened.
Good Sunday.
My fear with the GOP threats...some unstable idjit here in the states might decide to go and bomb their nearest theater and take *credit* for the GOP threats.
Have a great day!

But what did really Sony think? Are they actually afraid so they caved in or are they making a publicity stunt for the movie so evenn more people will go see when/if it is released. And how many will be willing to let Sony make their pictures in the futuire when a treat is all it takes too stop the movie and thereby making the investors money go down the drain? Didn't Sony think of that? To postpone it i can understand but actually not release it seems not so smart from all angles.
I liked the idea that the Wall Street Journal proposed: The government buys all the rights to the movie and releases it, for free in whatever format, to everyone who wants to see it. Also, put it in thousands of USB drives and send them, via balloons, to North Korea for their citizens to view it also. The balloon tactic has been popular for the South Koreans to send stuff over the border for a long time.

I have to say my cynical side comes out over this, too. There is nothing like controversy to make people want to see something.
Sony needed to release it on the 'net for all to see. Forget the U.S. government - the studio could've charged per view. It would have been seen by millions.
I've wondered if Sony was behind it too. How many people had any interest in running out to see it before it hit the fan?
Anyway, I think it was a bad idea for a movie in the first place. Just like I thought this one was a bad idea. Death of a President (2006 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and I am no fan of GWB. If Bush had made a big fuss, that movie would have made big bucks to someone. But, he said nothing....and nobody even remembers it (except me obviously
).
I read tonight that it has a limited run Christmas day release here. I called my friends who are going to the movies on Christmas to tell them and got laughed at. They said that it's just a set up, publicity stunt, and then I felt silly as it had not occurred to me.
I had read that the FBI got involved so I don't know too many details but I dont believe everything is manufactured, just that it's maybe massaged for opportune. Now I'm not sure if I will go on Christmas day. I enjoy both Seth Rogen and making fun of Kim Jong Un so it's a toss up.
