I don't recall any attacks on theaters showing Zero Dark Thirty

And that was a movie about the real life killing of a terrorist leader who had attacked the US. No doubt al-Qaeda didn't approve of the film. But hey it was shown in many theaters with no attacks anywhere.

Yeah fuck those cowardly theaters for pulling that movie and forcing Sony to pull it. Worst of all they just made the day of one of most the truly vile human beings on the planet. If you've done anything to make Kim Jong-un happy, then you just did the rest of humanity a huge disservice.

It sucked, and the recent Senate report on CIA torture proves that it sucked. There was no reason whatsoever to have made the film revolve around the specious, untrue premise that torture led to the intelligence that allowed bin Laden to be located.

I hated that film, and am embarrassed that Hollywood gave it accolades.

That said: Zero Dark Thirty was a film about an event that actually happened (aside from the false torture premise); not a comedy suggesting something that would happen. And it didn't make a crazy dictator with nuclear capability pissed off.

in So Cal and this hacking has put thousands of people out of work. (one is my tenet) Bank accounts on hold and Sony employees are getting phone calls at home from the hackers.
