Dec 18, 2014 at 11:21 AM - Dejamal: Because their revenue from screening a Seth Rogen comedy nobody wanted to see would 100% not be equal to the pain of having even one person murdered there?
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:21 AM - Vitriolic: Streisand effect, ho!
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:21 AM - LaNCeRs: I mean, if Russia made a movie that depicted Barak Obama being killed, you don't think America would have a strong reaction?
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:22 AM - Simpwn: no, but does anyone really think terrorists would attack a movie theater because of a satirical comedy?
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:22 AM - Vitriolic: the people who have seen it said its not as bad as most of the Rogen/Franco fare
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:22 AM - Dejamal: Like... Sony sent them a letter that said "We'll let you out of this with no contract penalties," so the theaters took it because, honestly, it was probably gonna bomb anyway.
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:22 AM - Vitriolic: but the thing is
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:22 AM - Dejamal: A terrorist attacked a movie theater because uh... Batman or something?
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:22 AM - Simpwn: Not with all this press it is getting
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:22 AM - Vitriolic: if this film doesn't get leaked like... this week
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:22 AM - Gyoin: didn't people fucking love pineapple express?
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:22 AM - Vitriolic: Sony can make a killing off it down the line
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:22 AM - Simpwn: I was gonna see the movie, but I was definitely going to see it in theaters because of all the attention it is getting
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:22 AM - Vitriolic: "the movie THEY DIDN'T WANT YOU TO SEE"
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:22 AM - Dejamal: It's not like movie theaters getting shot up is a totally unheard-of thing. It's happened multiple times in the last couple years alone.
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:23 AM - Gyoin: agreed Sim
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:23 AM - Vitriolic: no way in hell it was gonna bomb with the controversy
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:23 AM - Vitriolic: would it have been objectively good? probably not
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:23 AM - Dejamal: Yeah they'll release it direct to digital and everyone will see it and they'll be fine, because the guy who decides how and when to release movies is only interested in whether they are profitable or not.
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:23 AM - Vitriolic: would have had a solid opening weekend, would have cracked a profit
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:24 AM - Gyoin: wonder if there was any government pressure
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:24 AM - Vitriolic: arguably stands to earn even more NOW if they get the timing right after shit blows over
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:24 AM - Vitriolic: but before I get tied up again I have to ask
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:24 AM - Simpwn: They did just come out and say that North Korea was behind the leak
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:24 AM - Vitriolic: DEJA
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:24 AM - Vitriolic: HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE BURRS TODAY?
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:25 AM - Baldoraxx: so much chat i missed
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:25 AM - Dejamal: I stopped caring in week 5, but this is just Trestman throwing a fit because he's getting fired.
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:25 AM - Vitriolic: I dunno, as an avid DC sportsfan I recognize this tactic
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:25 AM - Vitriolic: it's the ol' "throw the QB under the bus to buy one more year" coaching ploy
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:26 AM - Vitriolic: of course, when you're leaning on Clausen it's probably not gonna work - also kudos for staying with the Bears long than I did the Skins
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:26 AM - Vitriolic: I didn't even make it through the offseason before I jumped off that bandwagon
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:27 AM - Dejamal: Well, the Bears were supposed to be good, and we beat the Niners before it was realized that htey are also terrible.
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:27 AM - LaNCeRs: Trestman is gone, period
Dec 18, 2014 at 11:27 AM - Dejamal: They already announced that he's getting fired, so he's just gonna go downi n a passive-aggressive fit.
