"Team America" Gets Post-Hack Yanking At Alamo Drafthouse, Too

Slate reports that even old movies are enough to trigger a pretty strong knee jerk: Team America, World Police, selected as a tongue-in-cheek replacement by Dallas's Alamo Drafthouse Theater for the Sony-yanked The Interview after that film drew too much heat following the recent Sony hack, has also been pulled. The theater's tweet, as reprinted by Slate: "due to circumstances beyond our control,” their Dec. 27 Team America screening has also been canceled." If only I had a copy, I'd like to host a viewing party here in Austin for The Interview, which I want to see now more than ever. (And it would be a fitting venue.)

The same reason conservative members of Congress don't want to close Gitmo and transfer the prisoners to the mainland: 'murica wants to confront, fight, and destroy terrorism...somewhere else but not here.
