New York premiere of 'The Interview' canceled

The premiere of Seth Rogen and James Franco’s comedy “The Interview” in New York has been canceled in the wake of a message sent by the Sony hackers that threatened a 9/11-style attack on theaters showing the film.

Additionally, Carmike Cinemas, which operates in 278 theaters across the U.S., decided to cancel its planned showings of the film.

In a message emailed to various reporters and accompanying the latest in a series of leaks that have included employee emails, health and financial information, the hackers who call themselves "Guardians of Peace" sent a grim warning to people planning to attend screenings of "The Interview," even warning people who live near cinemas to leave home, according to a report from Variety.

There is no credible evidence of a pending attack, cyber or otherwise, against Sony, which produced the movie, or the Landmark movie theater chain. Nonetheless, online threat by the so-called "Guardians of Peace" which is probably a front for government-sponsored hackers in North Korea, has caused the Landmark Theater chain to cancel tomorrow night's premiere of the comedy. So now the wimpy liberals in the entertainment and media industries are going to give in to cowards who won't even stand out in the open and make their threats publicly. It's pathetic.

America wasn't always like this. Real thugs have threatened U.S. entertainment interests in the past. Nazi Germany threatened to kill Charlie Chaplin if he made the movie "The Great Dictator," which parodied Hitler. Chaplin made it anyway, even though there were active German agents in the U.S. who could and would have killed him. But he took a stand against tyranny and what amounted to that day's edition of terrorism.

Chaplin was at best an early Obama liberal and at worst a socialist, and it comes through in the video. However, his words ring true, particularly in light of what system he was condemning -- Nazism. While many will see, erroneously in my opinion, applications for his speech to the U.S. government today, they more appropriately could be used to condemn Islamic extremists. It is a shame those who run Landmark Theaters couldn't find the backbone to stand up to invisible cowards.

This is such a great way to motivate people to watch the movie (even if they originally had no intention of doing so) when someone either eventually leaks it or it gets released. No need for a film junket, the guardians of peace have GOT THIS.

That was my first thought. It certainly got them more attention than a standard premier.

What's the movie about?

The schoolyard 'under bully' will pick on those who are obviously weaker than him , but cow tows to those he perceives are stronger.
