    Sony Pussies Out And Drops The Interview

    "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."


    Story here:
    With theater chains defecting en masse, Sony Pictures Entertainment has pulled the planned Christmas Day release of “The Interview.” U.S. officials have reportedly linked a massive cyber attack against Sony to North Korea, which is at the center of the Seth Rogen-James Franco comedy. “We are deeply saddened at this brazen effort to suppress the […]


    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.

    It's almost certainly a completely shit beyond belief film but outside of Bond films North Koreans have no fucking technology whatsoever. This is a country that is dark at night because most of the country doesn't have electricity. I don't know who hacked them but I bet it's not actually a Korean computer genius.

    I would worry about the potential censorship issues, does this mean that big Hollywood movies will be too frightened to attack powerful targets but of course that has been happening for years. You never get a Chinese villain nowadays bad for box office.

    They will just continue with the usual trend of European, usually English, bad guys as the last bastion of people who aren't American that can take a kicking without crying like fucking babies about it.

    Jeez did I just make a pro English post???

      It's more of political correctness in the truest literal sense. I was reading Rogan's bloated interview on the RollingStone website where on the comment section someone made an interesting point where what if this film was about two Muslim comedians who were sent to assassinate the prime minister of Israel and would it not be so surprising if anyone in America found that to be remotely offensive or combative.

      It's easy for Hollywood to pick soft targets especially when believed they pose no real international threat. No question a shit movie like this would never be made about Putin or Li Keqiang (yes, I Googled that).

      When I don't understand is Sony's victimization here when they can exploit or, moreover, distort another county that we know so little about but turn around and scream foul for a few hacked emails as if they posses the golden goose who proclaims what is right and what is not.

      Plus, Rogan is an idiot. He is in the same league as those other unfunny and highly annoying fuckers like Jack Black, Adam Sandler, Ricky Gervais, what have you and yet keep on getting film roles long past when their audiences have grown more than tired of them. If this is Rogan's way to keep himself relevant than good job but after seeing 'Neighbors' his newly found 15 minutes of fame won't last for long. Rogan was only tolerable in 'Paul' simply because Simon Pegg and Nick Frost would not him come anywhere near the script much less direction.

      I don't see this being censorship at all as I do Sony doing damage control.

        What I think is groovy is that they just showed their hand. By hacking Sony instead of a first strike in a shooting war...we get's to gobble their tactics. Fucking asians and their fucking "face". Glad they think that being embarrassed is more deadly than being killed.

        "No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country." Kristy can supply the reference.

        Fucking Chinese and North Korea can worry about their "face". We just found another way to rip it off if they try real shit.

        And don't forget Sony is Japs. They should pull their heads out of their ass and start worrying less about Asia and start hugging the real Pac Power: The US.

            WWIII started by a Seth Rogan "movie". Jesus Christ, what a thought...

                Clearly this isn't censorship... Plus the damage control goes way beyond saving face from internal e-mails of actors and Sony execs. These hackers have scripts, schedules and all of Sony's internal corporate IT information... finance and business critical data that no corporation wants loose in the public domain.

                North Korea couldn't have pulled this off on their own... odds favor strong Chinese involvement. Plus there's a lot of talk among the tech security world that this involved Sony insiders as well.

                This is a far bigger issue than just a crappy movie...

                  Yeah... something's off about this story. I doubt there are five functional computers in all of North Korea, and those are all in Pyongyang and probably are 286s running Windows 3.1. I'm not sure where these NK super hackers were supposed to have learned their skills... unless they snuck across the border into South Korea, where they could have access to decent equipment & some of the fastest internet access in the world.

                        When the Dear Leader says you are going to be the best hacker on the planet or else. You are well motivated.

                          Sounds like you have the script for another crappy movie about the attack on a crappy movie.

                            Ah the industrial military complex loves North Korea. Probably financing it covertly like we did Mao just so there is an excuse for them to exist. Some people have fucked the best whores, driven the best rides, and lived the high life selling shit to protect the border.

                              Seems like Sony likes to cut corners; a multinational outsourcing is no new news to me. Maybe this hack came from the inside?
