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

Posted by timothy on from the meet-your-new-program-director dept.

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.)

    There will be a simultaneous viewing/tweeting of Team America at 2100 (9PM) EST on Friday, for you Twitter mongers.

    I'd prefer for everyone to pirate it.

    You screw the North Koreans (and their supporters) and Sony in one go. Win Win.

    And ironically, it seems that will be the only way to watch the movie for the time being. Cause the terrorists have won.
