quade 4 #1 December 17, 2014 QuoteSony Attack: Carmike Cinemas Won’t Screen ‘The Interview’ Carmike Cinemas has bailed out on showing Sony’s comedy “The Interview.” The theater chain is the first to take up Sony’s offer to distributors to pull “The Interview” if they desire in advance of its wide release this Christmas. Sony remains committed to the planned opening. Multiplex owners were caught by surprise Tuesday after hackers evoked the memory of 9/11 while threatening theaters that play the comedy about an attempted assassination of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. The Carmike chain, based in Georgia, has 2,623 screens domestically — most of them in rural and suburban areas of the South. Source: http://variety.com/2014/film/news/sony-fallout-carmike-cinemas-wont-screen-the-interview-1201381251/ I would urge all my friends in the south to make it known that Carmike caved and let the terrorists win this one. Additionally, they've opened the door to countless other nutjobs with anonymous internet accounts who would also make threats.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #3 December 17, 2014 And the hits just keep on coming... Quote‘The Interview’ New York Premiere Canceled A spokesperson for Landmark’s Sunshine Cinema has confirmed that Thursday’s premiere of Sony’s Seth Rogen-James Franco comedy “The Interview” has been canceled in the wake of the ominous message sent by Sony hackers on Tuesday morning. The message threatened a 9/11-style attack on theaters showing the film.

ryoder 1,590 #4 December 17, 2014 Apparently, there has been a whole lot of politics going on well before the release: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/15/world/sonys-international-incident-making-kims-head-explode.html At one point in the tug of war over the script, Mr. Rogen weighed in with an angry email to Ms. Pascal. “This is now a story of Americans changing their movie to make North Koreans happy,” he wrote. “That is a very damning story.”[url]"There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

You don't think these entities have been intimidating and extorting money and actions? It's no different. Hell, the US government tried to pin Benghazi on the reaction of terrorists to a movie. We were falling all over ourselves to apologize. I wondered about this when I saw the previews. At least the Borat films were not about any one individual.Please don't dent the planet.

They don't blow things up. Theirs is a more sinister type of terror. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UE4_MT8MkIA OK. So a) what terrorist organisations act like the IRS? Hmmm. Interesting. Is there another terrorist organization that targets political speech by either trying to prevent it by delaying the organization's activities or subjecting the speaker to additional scrutiny from the government for said speech activities? Recall that torture itself is defined as psychological suffering. Terrorism is actions used to strike fear into opposition. Yes, indeed, the IRS does just that. "Hey, I got a letter from the IRS!" Not exactly a happy statement most of the time. [Quote]And b) what should you do about it. Drone strikes on constitution avenue? Send accountants for water boarding at Gitmo? Tough issue. Perhaps the first thing would be to lessen the ability of the IRS to terrify the public. The IRS is actually scaring other countries. The extraterritorial tax laws that it enforces are, indeed, having a chilling effect on activities. Think offshore banks are helping the IRS out of kindness and generosity? Think the Swiss banks are turning over information because they have no fear of what will happen if they don't? My wife is hotter than your wife.
