Estee 57012 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 12-18-14, 04:33 PM (EST) "Sony's pull of The Interview" LAST EDITED ON 12-18-14 AT 04:33 PM (EST) Pick your favorite. 1. They're genuinely afraid of violence and it's their movie to pull. 2. It's not violence they're afraid of, it's post-violence lawsuits. 3. Publicity move. Pull it back now, then wave a rallying flag and make heartland America see it as an act of defiance. 4. (Insert your own option here.) 5. As always, blame the President.   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

And movie goers have stinky feet and pants that fall down without belts. Some have pants that automatically fall down when in a darkened theater. 4.1 Homeland security hasn't vetted the millions or so of potential movie goers. 4.2 The millions of flak jackets that Sony ordered for opening day didn't arrive on time. 4.3 Obama advised people to go to the movies. Without him. As always, leading from behind, he'll catch it in his secure bunker. (#2 can't be far from the mark).   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

kidflash212 4271 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 12-18-14, 05:30 PM (EST) 2. "RE: Sony's pull of The Interview" I'm going with #3. This is brilliant publicity. I'm not a fan of either Seth Rogan or James Franco. I've been seeing trailers and reading publicity stories for this movie for months and had no interest in seeing it. Now I would see it just because I hate the idea of some nameless computer hackers deciding what I can and can't see through blackmail. Perhaps Team America would have been more successful if they had used this publicity move. Same plot - kill the leader of North Korea. This movie would have come and gone quickly while being outsold at the box office by better fare like Oscar hopefuls Into The Woods and Selma. Now, if it is released it will hit #1 in sales.

"RE: Sony's pull of The Interview" LAST EDITED ON 12-19-14 AT 12:22 PM (EST) I would think twice before I made that bet. Unless they actually do release it in the next month or so (buzz will die down after a while), or if they just made a big time miscalculation. Although it would be a very imaginative and successful advertising ploy if they do release it, if they don't they lose their investment (est. $40 Mill) plus all potential earnings. Worldwide, and in all forms. Some put that potential loss as high as a billion bucks. But even if it's less (which I would hope is more realistic), that would be the most expensive advertising ploy in history, I would imagine.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Brownroach 15052 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 12-22-14, 00:43 AM (EST) 10. "RE: Sony's pull of The Interview" I still have no intention of seeing the movie. If Seth Rogen's "career" is over as a bonus, I couldn't be happier. (Actually, I have an idea: let's make a film wherein Seth Rogen gets assassinated for being a horribly putrid actor who makes horribly putrid films. Graphic assassination, head exploding, torture, gore...Yeah, I could totally get behind that film.)   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

kingfish 17975 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 12-22-14, 11:53 AM (EST) 11. "RE: Sony's pull of The Interview" LAST EDITED ON 12-22-14 AT 01:31 PM (EST) Not a Rogan fan either. Not a Franco fan either. Together, they are twice the unfunny. IMO. I say strap them both to a fourth of July mortar, shoot them up and see what color patterns their burning brains make as they explode. With an appropriate symphonic climax, of course. Most of their stuff is silly, stupid, and badly acted. I was amused by “Pinapple Express”, but even that was dragged down by Ragan's and Franco's inept comedic talents. Both are at a level with Pauly, Sandler, Tyler Perry, etc., they are just not amusing to me. Even the idea of making a movie about offing an evil leader isn't particularly creative. Rocky and Bullwinkle were more creative in their dealings with the Evil Leader. I do have admiration for their being able to get under the skin enough of a world leader like they did. It helps that the world leader's sense of humor is even more juvenile that theirs is, and one has to ignore the fact that they unwittingly stumbled into that. But still, nice to see.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

kingfish 17975 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 12-23-14, 03:35 PM (EST) 12. "RE: Sony's pull of The Interview" Well, it looks like Sony and various theater owners are teaming up to pull on their man-panties and show the movie. http://money.cnn.com/2014/12/23/media/screening-the-interview/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 Giving Rogan and Franco much more exposure than they deserve and Sony much more money for this probable subpar movie than could otherwise be imagined. Collateral damage to the artistic world is the encouragement this will give to R and F and others to continue making dreck. It makes one sympathetic to N. Korea. Sigh.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Sony's pull of The Interview" One comment I saw claimed the Texas shows are going to be the best-armed movie audiences in history. On the one hand, there's a measure of protection in that status. For the other, gee, no way that could ever go wrong.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Some time before this happened, Kirk Cameron claimed his movie's website was hacked by Islamic supremacists.

kingfish 17975 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 12-29-14, 09:55 AM (EST) 15. "RE: Sony's pull of The Interview" Saw ”The Interview” last week. Have to grudgingly admit that it was, from the front row of a sold out theater with Dolby (or whatever) turned up full blast, pretty funny. Over the top unfunny moments and others that were agonizingly predictable, as is typical with Franco and Grogan, but there were some pretty creative stuff too. “They hate us because they anus.”   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
