Embarrassing
as it is to reach a wide public only to be proven wrong by subsequent facts, I
am happy that the movie Interview is being streamed online and shown in theaters.
Specifically, my guess that there were further disclosures at stake was proven
wrong. But then, so was President Obama, if the Sony Pictures Entertainment CEO
is to be believed. The Japanese media appears to credit Mr. Obama and other
critics of the initial decision to cancel the nationwide release in forcing
Sony Pictures to reconsider. Now this fails to address the CEO’s near-immediate
claim following Mr. Obama’s comment that Sony Pictures only cancelled because the
theater chain had pulled out (after Sony Pictures, reasonably, released them
from the original commitments) and was looking for other means to release it.
