Someone brought this up and was talking about how Sony must be a pretty shady company in order to have so much stuff go wrong just by exposing their emails. Dude doesn't get that any company that had their emails exposed like this would not fare much better.

Personally I think now that they're not going to release it in theaters I think they should just put it out there on the internet for free. Just as a big "FUCK YOU"

This was an inside job. I pity the poor Korean supporting IT fool who accessed the wrong data. They will be found out if they have not already.

I so hope one of GAF's heroes has an email that says "Like fucking GAF matters, basement dwelling fegs"

There's a chance I would be unemployable for the rest of my life if people saw how dickish I've been in some work emails. And I'm one of the nicer people you could hope to interact with in a work environment. Nothing I've read has been what I would consider out of the ordinary. Worst of it was the casual sexism/racism that exists universally in America, but if that rustles jimmies people should read office fantasy football chains. That Trebek email is exactly what he should have sent imo. Direct, honest, and assertive. I hate pussyfooting coworkers who hem and haw at everything.

And none of the information we've gotten has been surprising. Is any office filled with employees 100% on board with their company? Did anyone expect Sony Pictures dudes to be thrilled with Adam Sandler movies?

idk, outside of learning that Channing Tatum is literally a golden retriever puppy in the body of an adult man and some insider gossip, everything seems par for the course.

This is the best thing that could have possibly happened to this movie. When it's inevitably released (probably VOD or direct to disc), scores of people who previously had zero interest in it will buy/rent out of sheer curiosity. By accounts it isn't very good, but it could be absolute dogshit and will now probably end up making double what it would have without the controversy.

That said, this reaction isn't surprising in the least. We're a nation of pussies now. Every time something like this happens nowadays I think about Carlin's "Pussification of America" bit  from years ago and wish he were still alive to see it, because that was some Nostradamus-type prediction shit.
Eh, when it's inevitably released years from now people won't care.  No one is going to touch this for a long time for fear they'll also suffer a hack, and any attempts by Sony to release it will just mean more bad press for them.  This is just going to be a big 100 million disaster for Sony.

True story.
A certain company had a proclivity for their executives going apeshit. Let's call them "D company" or maybe "Ish Network". Anyhoo, in the early 2000s they decided to implement a system to stop any emails with inappropriate language and swearing to be sent. They bough the software but then leadership quickly noticed that their emails to internal employees were getting blocked because of inappropriate language. The vendor was like "The software is supposed to do that. That's why you bought it." This escalated to the point where the leadership from this company essentially called up the CEO of the vendor and demanded that they alter their software immediately to allow inappropriate language to be sent internally but block it externally or else. They ended up making the change.

Keep in mind, this was the same company where one of the executives sued the CEO for a large amount of money because he had called her a "cunt" in a board meeting then fired her on the spot. They settled, but it must've been in the millions. Delightful company.

Some speculation is that Sony is considering scrapping the whole thing and collecting insurance on it, which they wouldn't be able to do if they did a VOD release. I still think they just shelve it for a while, and release it after everything's cooled down.

Maybe after Obama sends in Seal Team 7 to assassinate Kim Jong-un IRL.  :whew

I'd be all for them collecting insurance (though usually insurance for stuff bars acts of god and terrorism and I think this would fall under the latter; plus Sony has ZERO luck in the courts lately so yeah, I don't think they'll collect) and secretly leaking the film to torrents.
