Paramount disgustingly cancels movie theater screenings of 'Team America: World Police'

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 18 Dec 2014 3:17 User comments (4)

Paramount disgustingly cancels movie theater screenings of 'Team America: World Police' Following yesterday's decision by Sony to cancel the release of 'The Interview,' Paramount Pictures has blocked theaters from playing the decade-old 'Team America: World Police' in its stead.
Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, a popular independent theater chain, had planned to replace The Interview with Team America but now says the cancellation is "due to circumstances beyond our control" and that screenings have "been canceled by Paramount Pictures."

Team America was a supermarionation film that focused on ex-North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il's plans to take over the world and "Team America"'s plan to stop him.

The last 24 hours mark a sad time for Hollywood, which has bowed to the demands of cyberterrorists.

This is getting insane. Not only is hollywood letting NORTH KOREA decide what they can and cannot show, now they are going above and beyond and banning their own previous works without North Korea asking them to!?!?

If this doesn't give people a good reason to hack and make threats, I don't know what will.

We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
