I really hate this aspect of my personality but this almost guarantees that I will see this movie -- nm - Pippy " Go Ohio State!" Dec 17, 12:12 6
- (on video) - Kim Pine Dec 17, 12:22
- Nothing to hate. It's not about the movie anymore, it's about the principle. -- nm - ty97 Dec 17, 12:18
- Not missing much, believe me. -- nm - budice Dec 17, 12:13 3
  - bummer. I've been let down by so many comedies this year. -- nm - Pippy " Go Ohio State!" Dec 17, 12:14 1
    - How could you be let down by The Interview, though? - Ultron Dec 17, 12:24
  - well, that answers my question below. -- nm - Andie Dec 17, 12:13
I don't like the precedent this sets. nm - Dignan Dec 17, 12:09 8
- David and the new Star Wars movie? - Ultron Dec 17, 12:20
- Though, imagine the lawsuits if a theatre was showing it and something *did* happen. - spamlet Dec 17, 12:19 3
  - I think this also speaks to how little Sony has invested in this film, and how little public interest there is. - Inigo Dec 17, 12:24
  - yeah, I wonder how much the Batman theater had to pay the victims and that wasn't even an alleged threat prior to the opening -- nm - Pippy " Go Ohio State!" Dec 17, 12:20 1
    - Still going. -- nm - Ultron Dec 17, 12:21
- Also speaks to the lack of faith in corporate IT security. -- nm - budice Dec 17, 12:12 2
  - you've actually seen it, right? is it worth all the fuss? -- nm - Andie Dec 17, 12:13 1
    - Naw...tho it does troll North Korea a bit. -- nm - budice Dec 17, 12:14
can we just stop for a moment and think how *crazy* it is that a Seth Rogan comedy has caused all this? -- nm - Andie Dec 17, 12:05 14
- It's gonna be epic when we prove that Jason Segel is behind this whole thing. -- nm - ty97 Dec 17, 12:08 1
  - that *would* be epic. -- nm - Andie Dec 17, 12:09
- Or what's going to happen next time somebody doesn't like a movie. - spamlet Dec 17, 12:07
- I heard him on the radio saying "We didn't think it would be controversial" or something to that effect. - Beryllium Dec 17, 12:06 10
  - eh, I don't remember complaints about Zoolander, and after Team America, how could this be offensive? -- nm - Max Dec 17, 12:09 1
    - Malaysia issued a formal complaint about Zoolander. -- nm - Reagen Dec 17, 12:10
  - oh, they knew it would be controversial, but i really don't think *anyone* could have foreseen what's happened. -- nm - Andie Dec 17, 12:07 3
    - That I would agree with - but it sounded to me like he was denying there was any controversy at all. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 17, 12:08 2
      - when i heard about it, i thought "oh, ha, NK will probably not like it." but, who cares, you know? we don't exactly cater to NK in the western world - Andie Dec 17, 12:09 1
        
        Indeed. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 17, 12:10
  - I disagree. It's functionally no different from Borat and even The Campaign. -- nm - David Dec 17, 12:07 3
    - Seriously, this is a Sasha Baron Cohen movie come to life. - Will Hunting Dec 17, 12:10 2
      - The fact that the parent company is Japanese likely enters into this in no small manner. -- nm - Reagen Dec 17, 12:13 1
        
        I'm never getting a Year Zero movie now. -- nm - David Dec 17, 12:16
