Sony has cancelled the Christmas release of The Interview giving terrorists yet another victory. Too bad, I actually wanted to see The Interview too. Terrorists threatened to carry out a 9/11 style attack on movie theaters all over the country if the movie aired. Now, I guess we don’t have to worry about that on Christmas. Who in the hell cares about Kim Jong Un anyway?
Usually you see this kinda of reaction if a movie dares to mock a Muslim, but Kim Jong Un? The North Koreans are starving and have no electricity at night. How could they possibly be the hackers behind this whole Sony fiasco?
In light of the decision by the majority of our exhibitors not to show the
film The Interview, we have decided not to move forward with the
planned December 25 theatrical release. We respect and understand our partners’
decision and, of course, completely share their paramount interest in the safety
of employees and theater-goers.
Of course, Sony tried to play the victim.

F’ you Sony for bowing to terrorists.
Sony Pictures has been the victim of an unprecedented criminal assault against
our employees, our customers, and our business. Those who attacked us stole our
intellectual property, private emails, and sensitive and proprietary material,
and sought to destroy our spirit and our morale – all apparently to thwart the
release of a movie they did not like. We are deeply saddened at this brazen
effort to suppress the distribution of a movie, and in the process do damage to
our company, our employees, and the American public. We stand by our filmmakers
and their right to free expression and are extremely disappointed by this
outcome.
