Exactly.

If the CIA has determined that there is a credible threat to national security due to the release of this movie, I could understand limiting showings. However, I think it is incredibly important to screen this movie.

It is completely forseeable that the next movie unfavorable to Islam gets a threat. Hell, this will embolden the fringe edge or Christianity the next time there is a movie with which it does not agree.

This move sends a message to artists at the lowest levels to not even think about creating a certain type of story as it will never see the light of day.

PLEASE HOLLYWOOD, GROW SOME BALLS! This is one of those moments where you must stand up.

After Sony canceled the release of the North Korea assassination comedy The Interview, a Texas theater said it would swap the film with Paramount's 2004 film Team America: World Police for one free screening.

"We're just trying to make the best of an unfortunate situation," James Wallace, creative manager and programmer at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema's Dallas/Fort Worth location, tells The Hollywood Reporter.

American flags and other patriotic items will be given out by theater employees, Wallace says.

The plot of Team America, co-written by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, revolves around Kim Jong Il, the father of current North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. The posters promoting the R-rated movie in 2004 included the tagline, "Putting the 'F' Back in Freedom."


In The Interview, Seth Rogen and James Franco's characters are tasked with assassinating Kim Jong Un.

The Alamo Drafthouse movie theater in Dallas, Texas, will be showing Team America: World Police in place of The Interview on Dec. 27 at 7 p.m. Wallace says that the Dallas/Fort Worth location is the only location as of now that is planning to screen the replacement film.

In a note on its website, the theater added: "THAT is how true American heroes will be celebrating this year, but if you want to let the terrorists win...well, that's your prerogative."

Sony canceled the release of The Interview earlier on Wednesday after the country's five largest theater chains all decided against showing the film, saying in a statement: "We respect and understand our partners’ decision and, of course, completely share their paramount interest in the safety of employees and theater-goers."

"pineapple express" had some big laughs.

there must have been some seriously bad stuff in those emails. hard to believe in Hollywood though.

Its available for rent/buy on youtube, XBOX and several websites.

Already clocking in at a predictable 29% amongst top critics on Rotten Tomato. Anyone who pays money for this is an idiot and should be sent to North Korea for re-education.
