While holding Hollywood accountable 4 arrogance, I find it inexcusable that hackers threaten livelihood or wellbeing of anyone or anything

A consequence is something elite "Hollywood" is not used to.

While nothing justifies what's happened, cogent thinking and not Hollywood bullshit should've prevailed. Hollywood on knees is a good thing.

Sony gave Seth Rogan's Jr high humor carte blanche to write about a real life despot with a nuclear weapon. Some things r just not funny.

I kind of agree with NLG. I feel like a lot of people are demanding that other people take risks. The threats were against the theaters so the people who would really be taking on the risk are the underpaid ticket takers and concession workers. Why should somebody making minimum wage put their lives on the line for Sony?

I agree as well. Not to mention all the innocent theater goers, nobody needs to take that kind of risk so SONY can make a crapload of bank. Why don't they just take the movie direct to DVD? North Korea would have no way of knowing who rents a movie, after all. After all this buzz, it would probably be one of the biggest rentals of all time, and a bunch of poeple would purchase as well.

I feel like a lot of people aren't looking at the bigger picture (I'm looking at you Robe Lowe). Let's same some state sponsored terrorist actually manages to blow up a theater. That's an act of war on American soil. We wouldn't even have the option of pretending we don't know who did it. So we're going to war with another nuclear power over a movie I'd pay $10 not to see. I wonder if Sony even made this decision or if they got a kindly call from the government "asking" them to cease and desist.

For people who've ever questioned how narrow-minded entertainment execs could be when it comes to diversity, apparently not even Denzel Washington is good enough for some.

For all the hysteria around The Interview, IMO, this is the kind of stuff that will tarnish Sony's brand in the long term.

Interesting, although it seemed to me that the Sony execs are the ones who backed him, while some producer is taking issue with him. Plus that is one hell of a misleading headline. He obviously isn't being blackballed, since Sony is potentially going ahead with the second installment of The Equalizer. What surprised me in all of this is that "overseas" is more racist against a black lead than the domestic market. If true, I had no idea.

Agreed on the headline. Obviously click bait. Of course I'm incapable of not clicking on something with the name Denzel Washington in it and I'm not ashamed to say it. laugh.png

I took it more as that producer projecting his own prejudice on the rest of the world. I think that's the issue with a lot of executives. They can't imagine a world where people don't have exactly the same mindset. I can think of a number of instances in TV and movies where I think that TPTB are just stuck in the past. A non-Sony related example would be what happened to the Fox show Sleepy Hollow. The new showrunner simply can't seem to accept that the audience showed up for Abbie/Nicole Beharie and not Katrina/Katia Winter and his inability to do that has killed the ratings.

    • Word of advice... you have to view the show without the 2025 lenses.. which means you need to 86 the misandry.
    • i love reading other posters alternate takes and scenarios. Yours would have really upped the tension.
    • Amanda is not my cup of tea. That's all I'm gonna say. She's repetitive and childish. She acts like a brat with her parents and has this constant "I'm not satisfied or happy" look on her face. The actress is okay in my opinion. I'm not impressed by anything I've seen her do so far. But she's okay.  BUT Amanda's repetitive scenes with Sam are the ones that I want to fast-forward the most. They just have 2  topics they like to talk about... and it's always "You are infringing on my right to be a powerful career woman! I need to be outside dating men for a job, so I can WORK and prove I'M NOT A RICH GIRL ONLY!" and he's like "You and your family are buying me a career and I don't want it! I WANT TO BE ABLE TO STRUGGLE and be poor and you guys ARE denying me the opportunity by giving it all on a silver platter" This is their main storyline for me... and it's just annoying when it's the same every single episode. It's a fake struggle that I don't buy. These people are so spoiled by this point and have everything... don't make me suffer listening to them bicker how amazing their life is, so they are unhappy about that. Just a personal view. I'm not saying THIS IS the situation. My view is also restricted, since I'm only 4-5 months into the episodes. 
    • It's shocking to see Steffy look down on anyone. She was the new generation HO for years. I mean... she was nasty and using sex to seduce married-engaged-in-relationship-men all the time. She was embracing it fully. Bradley was accenting on the fact that Taylor's daughter had become Brooke 2. I remember how disgusting it was when she was using Hope's virginity to her advantage and offering to f-ck the guys that wanted Hope. It was ABSURDLY nasty.  Then couple of years ago Bradley decided we should forget about it and made Steffy BECOME her grandmother. IN AN INSTANT. There was no build up to it. Which aged the f-ck out the character and made her unbearable. Because it's one thing to see an actual matriarch, older woman doing these things, being a moral judge... but it's complete joke to see the ex-ho acting like this. Ex-ho that is still incredibly young and has no right acting like she is better that anyone or... a moral JUDGE. Steffy and Hope's personalities got swapped!!! That's the irony of it. So any time these gang-style of fans come attacking Hope... for acting like a "slut"... I pinch myself - their HEROINE Steffy was doing this HARCORE. Are these people oblivious or just pretending not to remember. How can you stan a moral judge... that attacks "sluts" and also stan the same type of behavior you are attacking... years ago. How does this happen. But I repeat myself at this point.  I agree with everything you said 100000 percent. It's the truth. At least in my eyes. 
    • The Amanda pregnancy was a blunder. Amanda and Sam were AW's best bet for a starcrossed supercouple. Young love destined to be turn apart by outside forces and misunderstandings . Battling for years to finally get together. Instead AW had them married and pregnant within a year.  
    • It is his fatal flaw.  He's smart, cute, and loyal.  But, a total chauvinist pig.  We're looking through a 2025 lens, but April's from a wealthy family, (that she recently met), she should be allowed to contribute to her own home. Especially if Draper is going to work for the Crime Commission, rather than joining Mike's private law firm (did I get that part correct?) How about smoking while the baby is in the room?  It all looks nuts by current standards. Raven was married to Geraldine's son Kevin, but had an affair with Logan (whom Geraldine also considered like a son). Raven got pregnant by Logan, then Kevin died (long story short).  The part you need to know is that Raven was bored being a mother to Jamey (check out my member name).  So, she starts going out to Elliott's club and leaving Jamey with April.  Logan is not happy that Raven keeps leaving their baby all around town.  And thus, Geraldine is not pleased with Raven either. Draper and Logan are frequently rivals in the courtroom.  FYI --- Draper is also Raven's step-brother (her mother married his father). Raven's real name is Charlotte. But, one day [she] was sitting on the lawn and saw this beautiful black bird with shiny wings fly by. [She] wanted to be that bird. So beautiful. So free. With beautiful black wings…"    @chrisml you'll hear that story soon, and I envy you getting to see it the first time.
    • There is a time... till the old storyline is cleaning up... where it's still kinda annoying. For me it was. That's a personal opinion. But in 10-20 episodes more... you'll find yourself enthralled. It's not even begun. I'm so glad to hear your reviews! And excited of what's to come for you! 
    • Carly also has Nikki (Nicholas) with Lawrence. The easiest way to remember Chelsea is to think about how she was buried, stillborn, premature in a swamp and came back to life.  Or you can just remember her running over Bo/Hope's kid Zack.  Kind of ballsy to name her kid Issac if you ask me lol.
    • That's right Anita! Let her have it!

    • This is my other blind spot -- the children of Bo Brady's past loves.  Melanie:Carly as Chelsea:Billie -- but it is tough to keep them straight I dipped out during the Daniel of our Lives period of the show.
