im still reading through all the comments you guys are posting and it is wild to see how many people feel the same way about this. it feels like total nonsense that a movie is getting pulled just because someone started making threats and i am doing my best to keep the pressure on.

For Sony executives to buckle under pressure from other studios that fear a drop in all theater attendance is cowardly and self serving. Instead, these other studios should stand with Sony Pictures by taking steps to make sure there is a safe and secure Christmas day theater environment.
Allowing a despot to dictate what we watch is complete cowardice. Perhaps you didn't notice that North Korea threatens the total annihilation of the US on a regular basis, yet they can't seem to get a missile across the Sea of Japan. Here's a completely real threat - If Sony doesn't release this movie, I will do all I can to make sure that Sony never sees another dollar of my money. I simply cannot support a company that would give in to random threats so easily. To Kazuo Hirai - you should be absolutley ashamed of yourself.
Sony, you are saying the terrorists win. If you follow through with this they will not stop. What will be next? Release this and I will be there Christmas Day. North Korean pinheads be damned.
This is America... 1st Amendment... freedom of speech & press... you pick! I value my freedom to watch what I want to watch... without having to worry about reprisals or oversight by a dictator!! NK may be able to intimidate Sony... but not me. Give the people a choice! Let our $ do the talking. I guarantee this is the best free advertising any film has ever had... so they'd be fools not to release it in some respect.
The release can be handled in other ways -- hint: This is the Internet. Stream it on Release Day as planned, on Demand, for Pay, and I challenge all defenders of free expression to back up their commitment with their dollars.
I will never back down to those who tell me what I cannot watch.
I defy any man who tells me what I can or cannot watch.

Dear Sony--I think you did the right thing in preventing possible theater bombings, but please remember that what N. Korea did was an act of war, threatening American citizens. I would gladly buy DVDs of these movies. I love Seth Rogan; and Baby Boo Boo Dictator deserves NOT to call the shots for the USA!
