Members YRBB Posted December 18, 2014 Members Share Posted December 18, 2014 Here is KJU's death scene in THE INTERVIEW. I think it's inspired: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALYw9eJ_jf0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted December 18, 2014 Members Share Posted December 18, 2014 I don't know why they didn't just use a fake name for the leader of NK in the movie. If they hadn't said KJU's actual name in the film, this wouldn't even really be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted December 18, 2014 Members Share Posted December 18, 2014 Kim Jong Un is an evil, arrogant, petty person and he proves that by orchestrating a massive hack over a movie. I understand the security concerns, but it's unsettling to see his sphere of influence extend into our country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted December 18, 2014 Members Share Posted December 18, 2014 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Members Share Posted December 18, 2014 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.

Members Juliajms Posted December 18, 2014 Members Share Posted December 18, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Members Share Posted December 18, 2014 Absolutely. A stupid movie is not something to go to war over. There's other much more important issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted December 18, 2014 Members Share Posted December 18, 2014 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. http://www.inquisitr.com/1687244/denze-washington-blacklisted-sony-email/ For all the hysteria around The Interview, IMO, this is the kind of stuff that will tarnish Sony's brand in the long term.

Members Eric83 Posted December 18, 2014 Members Share Posted December 18, 2014 Glad it was pulled. I'm sure the movie sucks and none of this is worth the potential of people getting killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted December 18, 2014 Members Share Posted December 18, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Members Share Posted December 18, 2014 It isn't true...unless your'e talking about Africa. ... it's once again a case of a company executive being totally clueless. But NOW!!! Fox news is volunteering to show!!! This should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted December 18, 2014 Members Share Posted December 18, 2014 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. 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.

Members alphanguy74 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Members Share Posted December 18, 2014 Seeing as how the median income for white households is 55,000 and the median income for black households is 32,000... some executives feel that courting the black viewer is a losing proposition. But then netowork executives never have a clue about most all subjects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
