    Wow. Never heard of that.

    Put me in the camp of those who think this film should not have been made. I can appreciate satire as much as the next guy (for example, I loved Team America), but it seems like the sole intent of this film is to piss off Korea, which doesn't seem like such a good idea.

    But it's a comedy? A freaking stoner comedy and he's one of the main lead characters in the movie.

    I don't think this anything to do with fear of terrorism.

    Sony execs aren't going to the theaters, and no one would blame Sony if something happened.

    This movie was pulled because Sony execs fear the release of those hacked files.

    If North Korea is so upset about the movie, why'd they let their dictator fly to LA and act in it, anyways? They credit him in the trailer...


    ...this all just doesn't make sense...

    I can't believe Sony finally let North Korea beat us at something. Disappointed.

    If I were Sony...why not sit on this for a little while...and release to all network television stations for airing for next July 4th. The ad revenue will be fantastic and North Korea can't bomb the entire country. Bastards.

    Maybe North Korea has some real dirt on sony and they want it coming out.

    I guess this is how wars will be fought in the future, in cyberspace. I think this is a true watershed moment. The North Koreans have won. Maybe they will make a movie on this.

    Kind of sad that America just bowed down.

    Not America, Sony. An Asian company. I smell conspiracy.

    Word on the street is that Kim Jong Un wants a script rewrite. He is embarrassed (and thus crazy mad) to be associated with such a mediocre script.
