I'm not interested in it at all ,but I would go and see it just to show that the first amendment still has some meaning and I'm sure that I wouldn't be alone in those thoughts. To think that some little jerk like him Can get away with this nonsense really takes the cake.

It appears now that it has been definitely determined that the N Korean govt is behind the cyber attack and the bomb threats about theater goers. This comes very close to being considered an attack or a threat of war... and the administration is carefully considering its response. They said this cannot go unanswered.

This makes it a lot more serious than just some hackers having some fun.

Sony started this mess by making a movie that threatened the life of their leader. In a country like NK where everything is state sponsored, of course they're going to think it's real and of course they are offended.

So what if they're offended? Maybe it's about time they learn to deal with things by acting like adults instead of 2 year olds throwing a tantrum.

I agree, but being offended doesn't give them the right to attack anyone in our country, even if it's a cyber attack. And the threat against movie goers takes it to a whole new level. This whole thing is equivalent to terrorism.

It IS terrorism.

If the government of is NK is behind this it means the US has to respond. I hope the leader of NK has enough sense to stop the antics. Wars have sprouted from small incidents building into large conflicts.

I have no opinion on the movie other than it isn't my taste.

Would I let my family members go? Not on opening day.

Your so-called 2 year olds have nukes. Sony did the right thing to stop the showing of their idiotic movie. Now, it's time for THEM to grow up....hopefully, this is the wakeup call that they needed!

You're all correct.

It is terrorism, the NK leader is offended, he's also not a rational, mature individual and probably sees the film as a direct threat, especially if it hits the black market and becomes available to the citizens of his country...planting possible seeds of a rebellion. The studio is naive if they felt this film (and I use that term loosely) would not poke a psychotic's hornet's nest. This is a man who had his own relatives executed.

We're all facing new kinds of warfare and a cyber attack is just another thing we have to expect. The enemy does not always wear a uniform we recognize.

Sony put themselves in this position and then rolled up in a tiny ball, more frightened of its stock holders and law suits than a possible threat to a studio audience.

Would I go see it? Not my kind of movie at all, but just to show that we are not a nation of cowards, I might force myself to sit through it.
