"In announcing the decision to cancel the holiday debut, Sony hit back at the hackers who threatened movie theaters and moviegoers and who have terrorized the studio and its employees for weeks.
“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,” the statement reads."

Who even cares? I for one have never been much of a fan of Seth Rogan and his wry sarcastic horseshit he manages to pass of as being comedy. Now my bitch isn't so much about Rogan's lack of intelligence as it is Sony's who are playing the victim here to a movie that allegedly cost $42 million to make knowing it was going to ruffle a few feathers in the land where the true nomenclature of Communism is the order of the day.
Judging from that trailer alone all I can surmise that this is another boring bullshit-sold "feel good USA" propaganda where we have it so much better with abject poverty, suburban Walmarts, obese children and endless internet porn a compared a insane despot who will without hesitation put a bullet in the head of every member of your family or place them a hard labor camp under the most deplorable and inhuman conditions where you are worked until every fucking vertebrae in your back breaks
So why is a movie like The Interview ever made? Sure, like I said before it's a propaganda piece put out by a major multinational who like their audiences to believe that making murder of political leaders (no matter who they are) "cute" by two highly imbecilic "journalists" will somehow make the world a much better place. Going back to the trailer alone All l can see about a land that allows little if no government controlled media is through a Hollywood CGI lens. I guess all else that is needed is some lame sexism, sophomoric dialogue and one fuck of an unbelievable plot line. The fuck with all the human atrocities North Korea continues to commit unless of course, the suits at Sony find that shit funny.
If that is the case, Sony has no "spirit and/or morale" to stand on. This film might be interesting as well as funny if the message wasn't so much of (corporate) American (militaryesque) distortion of how we are being programed to hate everything in the Third World - especially the people - as much as it could bring light to horrendous conditions brought forth by its political leaders. Who knows? Maybe it does but this being Sony who loves to wholesale murder and war via their shitty PlayStation(s) and some of the smut-fucked "artist" they sign I highly doubt it.
