    The Sony emails did not include pictures of Jennifer Lawrence's tits. :D

    I'm sure it was his camp who recorded it, but the only issue is where Peterson was when he took the call. In many (if not most) states, only one party needs to consent to the recording (i.e., Peterson). Minnesota, Texas and New York statutes all allow one-party consent for recording calls, so there's no legal issue if he was in any of those states when the call occurred.

    Rob Lowe :
    Wow. Everyone caved. The hackers won. An utter and complete victory for them. Wow.

    Judd Apatow:
    I think it is disgraceful that these theaters are not showing The Interview. Will they pull any movie that gets an anonymous threat now?

    Jimmy Kimmel: @JuddApatow I agree wholeheartedly. An un-American act of cowardice that validates terrorist actions and sets a terrifying precedent.

    Newt Gingrich: @RobLowe it wasn't the hackers who won, it was the terrorists and almost certainly the North Korean dictatorship, this was an act of war

    Piers Morgan: What 1st Amendment?

    If Sony had any balls, they'd either 1.) Screen the movie for free nationwide as an act of refusal or 2.) Release the movie on the July 4th holiday but add TWO HOURS to it and have Toby Keith rewrite the entire soundtrack.
    It's amazing that this might be the breaking point with our country and North Korea. A F**king Seth Rogen flick.

    74 years ago the Three Stooges and Charlie Chaplin each released films mocking/taking on Hitler. I doubt this movie is going to be the artistic achievement of The Great Dictator and won't be as important in terms of turning people's attention to something going on in another part of the world. I also get that we face completely different kinds of threats today.

    But doesn't this feel like a huge regression?

    Last I remember, Sony is a Japanese company. Let them fight that fight.

    What can the US do, bomb North Korea back to the stone age? Or as they call it in North Korea, Thursday.

    An "act of war"? Um, does Newt not realize Sony ain't affiliated with the U.S. Govt?

    Sony can fight its own battles. And Japan can jump in first if a national govt truly feels it must join in. It's primarily their corporation that got hacked, not ours.
