If Sony or Hollywood want to blow all their money on films and then cancel them, whom am I to judge. If they go out of business, we might get better quality movies.

I wonder how the US would feel if say Russia had a version of Hollywood where their media produced films that were seen all over the globe in huge popularity on a regular basis. A media giant so large there that their influence penetrated the cradles to the graves all over the world of how people think and act in their every day lives.TOKYO — When Sony Pictures began casting last year for a new comedy to be called “The Interview,” early scripts included the assassination of a fictionalized North Korean ruler. It was not until auditions began that actors learned that the movie would portray something much more brazen: the violent killing of the actual leader of North Korea. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/15/w...l-incident-making-kims-head-explode.html?_r=0
Hold that thought.
Now, imagine if that Russian "Hollywood" had made a comedy (made gleeful light and fun of) two of their famous people coming to America to assassinate our Speaker of the House, or Obama, or Dick Cheney. And not just psuedonyms but the actual person targeted, like the movie that targeted Kim Jong Un.
We wonder why we have such trouble in world relations. Our capitalism has made us completely blind to regular human relations. Hollywood is out of control and has been for decades. Using "freedom of expression in art" as their excuse, they have been whipping a bridleless horse deep into the furlongs of indecency and outright disrespect. It is no wonder that they seem taken aback, shocked that their unchecked hubris and arrogance suddenly met a brick wall.
I personally think that it's a much-overdue wakeup call. If you want to produce films that deeply offend foreign countries that are involved in despising our arrogance, then you should expect that they will fight from the corner they feel backed into.
I think the people who invested in this film are chumps that deserve to lose all their money. Next time, research your investment a little better. Indecency, smut and violence just aren't cutting it anymore. The films that seem to do the best nowadays are the ones that promote an anchor of morality in a sea of puke. Think of that storyline. It's always the one that gets the awards on the red carpet. Investors take note..
It's promoting breaking the law so it shouldn't be released?My opinion, it is illegal for our country to target foreign leaders so the movie is promoting the breaking of the law. But I doubt that matters to the liberal left.
There was a movie depicting the shooting of a sitting president. Bad taste to do so.
I am thinking this film will be released in about two weeks after all the hype, what great advertisement. My wife wanted go just because of the fuss being made.
Um, maybe people should do a little more research before writing things.I wonder how the US would feel if say Russia had a version of Hollywood where their media produced films that were seen all over the globe in huge popularity on a regular basis.

The whole point is.....a movie was made, NK hackers THREATENED a terrorist threat equal to 9/11. So what are we going to do about it? Looks like not a fucking damn thing.
You think they dont do that?Here seems to be the deal.
The US makes a movie about the killing of one of its enemies.
Now, say Iran make a movie about the killing of the Israeli leader. How would that go down in the US? Oh, they'd put sanctions against the Iranian govt and people again.
Some people say that there's a lack of sense of humor, but the if this were directed at an ally of the US, or at the US itself, the US wouldn't see the funny side of it.
I know you just hate blacks but even a racist can be right for the wrong reasons. This reverse racism trend of shoving black people into white roles needs to stop. Annie is a red headed white girl. That is why the new movie is bombing. Bond was written as a white guy too. If black people want to make a mark they need to stop recasting stuff and write some original material.The hacking revealed Sony head Amy Pascal want the next James Bond to be black. This is most troubling.
From a national security perspective, is it a wise thing to do to promote the assassination of a world leader when anger towards the US has revolved around our meddling deeply in the affairs of foreign sovereign nations to the point of criminalities? We were even attempting to meddle in our allies affairs. (Cyber spying on Germany's leadership, etc.)
Umm. There was a movie made which in it's main plot line was an assassination of Bush 43.....Aside from the usual protests and gum flapping on talk radio, it was more or less swept under the rug..
Now, if that same movie had been made about Obama as the target, I think the reaction in this country , at least from the political left, would be one of furious indignation.

Following that logic, we could never make movies about anythying illegal.
Does the "conservative right" not believe in freedom of speech?
