I Am A Western Capitalist Pig

A couple days ago, I spit in Kim-Jong Un's eye and did my part for freedom of artistic expression by downloading a copy of the new movie "The Interview" from YouTube.  It's the sophomoric Rogen-Franco comedy that will either lead to world peace or cause World War III.

After initially cancelling the film's release, Sony Pictures backtracked and grew about half a nut, deciding to show it at 300-some independent theaters and to also release it online as a video download.

The big multiplex theater chains like AMC and Cinemark are still doing their spineless worm imitations by refusing to play "The Interview."  May they go promptly bankrupt.

Haven't watched the movie yet (I hear it's OK, but not great), but that's hardly the point.  It's to challenge Sony, Cinemark, et al, to stand up for their own business interests and reject 'fraidy-cat self-censorship, and it's also to figuratively flip off the hackers, whoever they may be.  (Almost certainly not the North Korean government, but it's fun to imagine it was.)

It was a $5 protest purchase.  How courageous of me!  Now I gotta put on my PJ's and watch it!
