I've been told the movie is actually shit and a waste of time.

With the recent news that Sony won't be releasing The Interview in theaters because of the clowns in North Korea, maybe they should release it online for free and solicit donations. One of those donation methods, obviously, BTC.
They probably wouldn't get enough in donations to cover the cost compared to traditional methods of distribution. It's easy to get thousands of dollars in donations. It's not easy to get millions.

Shame they've not capitalised on this because it is massive free publicity for the film.
What they're doing right now IS creating publicity. Now people are going to want to see the film, just because it was "cancelled".
It might be still creating publicity but they're not going to make any money from it unless or until they've got a product to sell. Hype will die down eventually. The film will likely leak at some point as well. I wonder if the Korean's have that too but obviously wouldn't release it.

I believe Romney was first to make this suggestion 3 days ago.

They're one of the largest corporations in the world. They know what they're doing lol

Too be honest it will be leaked onto a torrent tracker within a week.

Isn't Sony a Japanese company, what's all this talk of an attack on US soil? You guys act like they sent the self destruct signal to burn the all the FETs in all the US PlayStations and there's fires raging everywhere.

They should just release it and stop being pussies. Rogen should just leak it if they're not going to show it. Shame they've not capitalised on this because it is massive free publicity for the film.
Zero credible information about a terroristic threats on movie theaters or motion picture companies.
No movies... movie gets shelved.
The terrorists win
Exactly. This was handled really badly and all it shows is they will give in to hollow terroristic threats so it sets a really bad precedent. It's a movie, get over it (though I would like to see how America and the world would react if a film about killing Obama would be handled).

That's a really dumb idea. Sony is a business, not a charity.
December 19, 2014, 09:42:36 PM
That's good advice and I think what Fred Wilson advocated as well on his blog

Haven't you heard, we don't have to pay anymore, just threaten them. Want a new blu-ray player? Just tell them your a scary mysterious guy who will destroy them with fiery justice and spread your unstoppable wrath upon them. It's ok if your just a chubby little daddy's boy. It works!

Very interesting idea but I don't think that this will happen.
First, why Sony should release The Interview online for free and lost possible profit from this movie?
They are not charity organization but serious business company and their main goal is profit.
Obviously, if they will ever accept bitcoin as way of payment (or donation), this will help us but they also must see how this decision will benefit them.

I don't know if I'd even pay BTC for this movie, it doesn't look that good to me.
If anyone wants to know why Sony scrapped the release of it with N. Korea all up in arms, here's the infamous scene, and movie in a nutshell.
SPOILERS AHEAD

I'll just wait for it on streaming or HBO.

If Sony accepted Bitcoin for donations for releasing this movie, there would definitely be awareness for Bitcoin. But not necessarily good awareness.
December 19, 2014, 02:56:28 PM
Well I'm still wondering if someone will hack up a copy of it and put it on the web
Already have Annie and some other movies I don't really want to see lol.
haha I seen annie up as well. Would definatly pay BTC to see the interview though. Already have Annie and some other movies I don't really want to see lol.
