nobody. it's easy to tell Sony and the theater owners how they should act when it's not your business or your money on the line

Posted by: charlie (a.k.a mickpix) on Dec 19, 11:25 in response to BSmurf's post All poorly thought out knee-jerk attempts at humor aside....

the State Department issues travel advisories based on actionable intelligence to U.S. citizens all the time, telling them to avoid places where there could be potential terrorist activity.  but for some reason, Sony and the exhibitors are supposed to fall on their swords for a ****ty Seth Rogan comedy?

Kudos to Obama saying (in his news conference within the last 15 minutes) that Sony made a mistake pulling the movie. {nm} KalElFan Dec 19, 11:14

yes, who better to lecture Hollywood on how to deal with terrorist threats than our government {nm} charlie Dec 19, 11:16

All poorly thought out knee-jerk attempts at humor aside. Who WOULD you like to lecture us on how to deal with terrorist threats? {nm} BSmurf Dec 19, 11:18

So, you're now saying that the USA is as dangerous as foreign countries the State Dept advises against visiting? bit of a leap. Try again. {nm} BSmurf Dec 19, 11:41

well we have higher gun deaths than a lot of them so, i guess {nm} charlie Dec 19, 11:47

Right, Obama shouldn't be telling the film industry what to do... That is Kim Jong Un's job! {nm} potzertommy Dec 19, 12:00

and China, and the House Unamerican Activities Committee, and Hitler's Hollywood watchdog, and the Hays Office . . . {nm} charlie Dec 19, 12:08

What exactly are you saying? So far, it's clear as mud. {nm} goodvibe61 Dec 19, 14:20

thats not what all of what happened. Maybe the full story will come out one day, but theres more to it. {nm} Moviesnob Dec 19, 11:23

I read somewhere Sony gave theater an option to play movie or not. Theaters chose not to play it... {nm} Oleg Max Dec 19, 11:27

Could you expand on the story? {nm} ~JPV~ Dec 19, 11:28

How about if the full story comes out right now in your response? {nm} goodvibe61 Dec 19, 14:20

He got closer to what he should have done in the first place. He should have said that he had requested that Sony and theaters go ahead edzep - Port Monkey! Dec 19, 11:55

Eh I don't see obama ever saying that. {nm} Dorfman Dec 19, 12:01
