"" The Sony hackers story has taken a new
and more ominous turn.
A message from the Guardians of Peace
group warns of a 9/11-like attack on
movie theaters that screen Seth Rogen
and James Franco's North Korean comedy
The Interview.
"The world will be full of fear," the
message reads, according to Varietyand
Buzzfeed, adding, "Remember the 11th of
September 2001."
The National Association of Theatre
Owners, is "not commenting at this time,"
said spokesman. Jackie Brenneman.
Film critic and historian Leonard Maltin
was at a loss for words over the latest
turn of unprecedented events.
"I don't know how to respond or react. I've
never faced anything like this before,"
Maltin said. "There have been protests
over films. But I cannot think of threats
from an anonymous group like this."
Past messages have included memos
about budgets for Sony films, salary
information of top executives, employee
medical records and social security
numbers and other private information.
The threatening message was posted to
Pastebin, a popular file-sharing site.
Below it were five links leading to caches
of Sony files stolen in the original hack
attack, which became public Nov. 24.
They were titled "The 1st day of Christmas
gift: This is the beginning."
It was first suspected that North Korea
was responsible for the hacking in
retaliation for The Interview' s depiction of
an assassination attempt on Kim Jong-
un. The country has denied involvement,
but praised the attacks.
Sony has not responded to this new
message.
On Monday, Sony CEO Michael Lynton
apologized to employees in two town hall
meetings for the "criminal attack" they
were enduring, saying, "I am incredibly
sorry that you had to go through this."
At the same time, lawyers representing
two former Sony Pictures employees filed
a class-action lawsuit in federal court in
Los Angeles.
The complaint charged that the studio
was negligent by ignoring early warnings
that its computer system was prone to
attack.
Here's the full message:

"Warning
We will clearly show it to you at the very
time and places "The Interview" be shown,
including the premiere, how bitter fate
those who seek fun in terror should be
doomed to.
Soon all the world will see what an awful
movie Sony Pictures Entertainment has
made.
The world will be full of fear.
Remember the 11th of September 2001.
We recommend you to keep yourself
distant from the places at that time.
(If your house is nearby, you'd better
leave.)
Whatever comes in the coming days is
called by the greed of Sony Pictures
Entertainment.
All the world will denounce the SONY."

A spokesman for the National Association
of Theater Owners has not commented.
The Interview is set to open in theaters on
Dec. 25.
The sheer enormity of the Sony hack is
difficult to grasp, say computer experts.
When the hackers made their first
postings in late November, they released
two text files which they said listed all the
files they had stolen.
"Total, it was just shy of 38 million files,"
said Michael Sutton, a security researcher
with Zscaler, a San Jose, Calif.-based
company.
The hackers claim to have close to 12
terabytes of data. "That's about 12,000
DVD's worth of data," Sutton said.
Since Nov. 24, they have been slowly
doling out caches of stolen files, posting
them on peer-to-peer sharing sites.
This makes them impossible to delete or
destroy. Peer-to-peer systems are similar
to the old Napster in that the files don't
live on any one, central file hosting site.
Instead, they are hosted on the desktop
and laptop computers of users all over the
world. "Basically all the users voluntarily
participate in hosting the material," said
Sutton.
The links that allow users to find the
stored files are called "torrents," after
BitTorrent, a popular sharing site.
On Tuesday the hackers posted five new
torrents.
Once a file or files are put out into the
network of torrent sites, it's impossible for
Sony or anyone to delete all of them.
"There's no way to take it down," said Sutton.
"If you take one down, it's no big deal because
there's a million more.""

Wow. No movie theaters for me, for awhile. Scary. This story just keeps getting worst. It looks like no matter what Sony says or does, they are screwed & their hands are tied.

@Zilya777: You should come to my little theater. They only show 2 movies and none of them are rated R

@TheHBKbigred: Really? Only 2 movies? Utah, are you in Morman territory? *I think, I would scare them... Lol.* I have shocked a few at my door for asking the wrong questions * they shouldn't have sent the young/ recruiting ones to me.. hhhaa*

Bet it 'bombs' in theatres, pun intended ; ) But DVD sales will be record breaking...

@SammyToo: That is humorous, sad & true.. Morbid Curiosity.

Bad guys win......


"" ‘The Interview’
Yanked By
Regal, AMC &
Other Major
Chains

Ultimately,
The Interview didn’t go well, and Sony’s
controversial film appears dead. Regal said
today that it has decided not to screen the
Seth Rogen -directed comedy, and the major
exhibition chains including AMC, Cinemark
and Cineplex are expected to follow suit. The
news comes a day after a hacker threat
against venues that show the pic starring
Rogen and James Franco. Regal said in a
statement, “ Due to the wavering support of
the film The Interview by Sony Pictures , as
well as the ambiguous nature of any real or
perceived security threats, Regal
Entertainment Group has decided to delay
the opening of the film in our theatres.”
In the wake of the threat, Sony yesterday
gave theater owners the option to back
away from the film, which is set to open
Christmas Day. And this afternoon, it pulled
all TV advertising for The Interview . Earlier
today the studios’ trade group, the National
Association of Theatre Owners, said that
“individual cinema operators may decide to
delay exhibition of the movie so that our
guests may enjoy a safe holiday movie
season experiencing the many other exciting
films we have to offer.” Worth noting: Regal
and NATO both used the word “delay”
rather than “cancel” in their statements.
Whether that’s mere semantics or a hint
about a wait-and-see attitude remains to be
seen.
Regal’s move follows announcements by
smaller regional chains Bow Tie Cinemas
and Carmike Cinemas that they also are
pulling the movie, which revolves around a
cockeyed plot to assassinate North Korea’s
Kin Jong-un. “It is our mission to ensure the
safety and comfort of our guests and
employees,” Bow Tie said this morning,
adding that it is “saddened and angered by
recent threats of terrorism in connection
with the movie.” The chain’s comes despite
the fact that Department of Homeland
Security officials have been downplaying
any real threat .""

Frick you, North Korea

And Larry says frick you too.....

"" "If Kim Jong Un and his henchmen
were upset before, wait till they see
the movie we're going to make,"
Hustler founder and chairman Larry
Flynt said as he announced plans to
make a pornographic parody of The
Interview.
The Interview has grabbed headlines
because of threats from hackers
believed to be backed by North Korea
and the resulting cancellation of the
movie’s nationwide premiere on
Christmas Day.
The movie’s working title is This
Ain’t the Interview XXX. (Source:

Flynt won a 1988 decision by the
Supreme Court against Jerry Falwell
in a case that addressed freedom of
expression laws in the United States.
"I've spent a lifetime fighting for the
First Amendment, and no foreign
dictator is going to take away my
right to free speech," Flynt said as he
announced the porn project, which is
set to go into production in early
2015.""
