But I don't have permission to call it a "companion thread" plus I don't want to water down dignin's excellent and interesting thread so we'll let this stand on it's own. So…

Regal and other theatres pull "The Interview"
Regal theatres and many others are refusing to play Sony's movie The Interview due to threats from hackers. I'm not sure this is a good idea. So now all someone has to do is threaten us with a 9/11 type attack if they release a movie that makes fun of a ruthless dictator? Unbelievable.
