Here's the death scene until it gets taken down, which will be rather quickly I assume. Spoiler, obviously.

Well that was up for less than 3 hours.

My comment yesterday was tongue in cheek but I guess I shouldn't be surprised someone out there really wants to do it. Maybe, It's probably just a click bait trash mag.

somebody explain to me how modern theatrical releases work?

About a week or so (or less if the movie is still being edited) before the movie is released each theater will receive 1 special proprietary hard drive with the movie encrypted on it. For the next day or so the projectionist will take that hard drive and essentially copy the movie to each projector (I think that the hard drive only allows you so many "copies" but don't quote me on that) that is planed to show the movie. After each movie is preloaded onto the projectors you wait. Usually the night before (or in the case of really high profile movies an hour before) the movie company will email each theater a passcode (long ass string of random numbers and letters) to decrypt the movie and allow it to be shown.

there were terroist threats on movie theaters. there's no way they could show the movie. sony just made the decision for them. it didn't hurt that there is probably more sony stuff that hasn't been leaked yet that they are hoping the hackers won't release.

Instead of spending all that money to harass movie pirates, they should have spent it to hunt down movie terrorists.

What? Are they going to paratroop in ala Red Dawn? Total bluff they should have called.

It's a bad idea to call bluffs when you are not sure whether or not the interlocutor is a rational agent.

So what then? Cancel every movie release that gets a bogus threat?

i'm going to start a rumor that 50 shades of grey makes fun of kim jong un

I find it funny that North Korea decided to show their cyber-warfare hand over this this stupid movie.

It's because Sony is the only hack they could pull off. Sony's tech security was probably using "admin" as the password.

It's north korea, what are they going to do, starve in our general direction and then shoot some proles?

Just saw on CNN that another movie about North Korea with Steve Correll is canceled also.

Maybe they can stop us from seeing Ben Affleck in a Batman suit, I'd be all for that.

Are we sure it is NK and not some neckbeard in Korea Town?
