    Sony's winning reaction to NK

    Due to several likely factors (such as all of America calling them out for being chicken shits, and MANY people bootlegging it to make sure it gets out) Sony has decided to release the Interview after all. Not only on DVD... But on Youtube at no charge! Not a particularly amazing movie, but worth some chuckles... And North Korea hates it so that's worth something.

    $6 to watch it on YouTube. I am glad they released it. I hear that theater tickets for the movie sold out yesterday despite the poor reviews. A lot of folks are probably watching it just to stick it to NK.

    There are those that believe this was a marketing ploy by Sony to drum up interest in a crappy movie?!

    So where is all the rubble from the theaters that the hackers threatened to blow up. More keyboard commando than anything else.

    Go Sony!

    I wasn't going to watch it before all the North Korean threats. I doubt I'll watch it now either. It'll be on TV in 2 years, I'll wait for it then.

    that would be more plausible if they didn't release emails of their CEO making fun of obama, afterwards the CEO had to meet with sharpton for 90 minutes

    I watched it on youtube Christmas eve. It wasn't free as mentioned. But it did suck. Waste of time.

    I think we live in a vacuum of crap when it comes to movies.

    Exodus? Freekin horrible pos movie. And everything else is computer graphic riddled garbage.

    I dont understand why American Sniper is not in my area till mid Jan.

    Sony would have been incredibly stupid not to release it. It has been top news for 2 weeks which is great publicity. I won't see it because Seth Rogen is a dumb liberal.

    No. That was a TIN FOIL hatted conspiracy theory, believe it or not, pushed a lot by LIBERALS (who hate big corporations and everything evil is because of Big Corporations). Sony would NOT have humiliated themselves with the release of embarrassing emails, nor would they have intentionally released the SSNs, home addresses, bank accounts and telephone numbers of ALL of their thousands of employees and HUNDREDS of celebrities who were on contract with Sony (present day and in the past). If only the MOVIE was hacked, this might make sense. But to believe it was a set up, requires that one ignore ALL THE OTHER STUFF that really hurt Sony. And that doesn't make any sense.
