The movie no one was talking about is now the movie everyone wants to see...

I've been watching this Sony movie controversy with a little bit of amusement, anger, frustration and astonishment.

To hear people talking about Sony being an American company has amused me.  To see Sony cave to the threats of terrorist has angered and frustrated me.  Ditto with the reaction from the White House that did a "finger in the wind" response to the issue after everything was said and done.

What is astonishing is where we are now.

Lets be honest.

This movie was (by all appearances) idiotic.  No one was going to see it except some teens (if Sony was lucky).  It was almost a straight to DVD grade movie and that's where it was going to make bucks.  But now?  People want to see it as a protest if nothing else.

The funny thing?

This movie will see the light of day.  Its just bound to happen.  When it does you can bet that it will be on file sharing sites and its going to be downloaded by millions.  N. Korea might have bullied one corporation but in the end they're going to lose because of the digital age that we live in.

It won't make money or win awards but it will be one of the most watched flicks in the next 6 months.  I almost guarantee it.
