with the opening. That would have given them cover from their worries about responsibility. Obama would have sent the message that someone is in charge, and willing to help the studios, theaters and public stand up for principle, and NOT set a precedent inviting more of the same.

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

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 charlie Dec 19, 11:25

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

the idea that Hollywood has ever been some crusading champion of artistic freedom is bull**** now and was bull**** then charlie Dec 19, 14:31

You pull a tigers tail don't turn around and ask me what you should do next. tradermark Dec 19, 12:36

Perfect lol. {nm} goodvibe61 Dec 19, 14:27

Good Lord. {nm} goodvibe61 Dec 19, 14:16

Sony only pulled after the major theatre chains said they wouldn't play it. Not really there decision imo. {nm} jwammo Dec 19, 11:21

*their {nm} jwammo Dec 19, 11:22

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

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