NEW YORK (AP) — Threats of violence against movie theaters. (click here) The New York premiere of ‘‘The Interview’’ canceled. Leaks of thousands more private emails. Lawsuits by former employees that could cost tens of millions in damages.
The fallout from the Sony Pictures Entertainment hack that began four weeks ago exploded Tuesday after the shadowy group calling themselves Guardians of Peace escalated their attack beyond corporate espionage and threatened moviegoers with violence reminiscent of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
The Department of Homeland Security said there was ‘‘no credible intelligence to indicate an active plot against movie theaters,’’ but noted it was still analyzing messages from the group, dubbed GOP. The warning did prompt law enforcement in New York and Los Angeles to address measures to ramp up security....
The USA has a new hate group. The GOP. And it's English isn't very good.

...Twitter accounts associated (click here) with promoting several movies, including Starship Troopers, were briefly hijacked by the attackers. The attackers posted to at least three Twitter feeds, leaving the same message: “You, the criminals including [Sony Pictures CEO] Michael Lynton will surely go to hell. Nobody can help you.” The image posted with the message shows a digitally edited image of Lynton’s head in a dark, hellish landscape....
The focus is on sending people to hell? Really?
Going to hell is a spiritual issue and I doubt that is a real threat. The GOP seems to understand the concept of religion though. Before anyone can credibly go to hell, I think there should be suggests on how they can improve and avoid hell.
I think the deal with hell and heaven is understanding that was wrong was committed. So, to state someone will go to hell is not really correct unless they willfully commit a sin. I think purgatory is more the likelihood of sins are committed without willfulness. Sort of like scaring people by putting a red skeleton on the website.
There was once a Red Skelton (click here) in Hollywood, but, he spelled his name differently.
Hollywood needs to take this on the chin and get on with life. There is no sense in guest appearances if Sony is removing the movie from it's venues. But, the industry needs to focus on patron safety.
