Celebrities Slam Sony Hackers' Win; Michael Moore Makes Programming Request

Suddenly, all of Hollywood is worked up about terrorism – and all it took was Sony Pictures’ decision yesterday to cancel the release of “The Interview.” Sony’s decision to cancel the movie came after North Korea’s vicious cyber-hacks were followed by threats of terrorism if the movie was released in theaters.

Celebrities of all stripes are tweeting their frustrations, calling this Neville Chamberlain-like appeasement a dangerous precedent to set, and saying it's allowing a brutal dictator and terrorism to “win.”

Check it out:

It's a sad day when @SonyPictures bow to the will of a brutal dictator who murders his own people. #TheInterview @Sethrogen @JamesFrancoTV

Really hard to believe this is the response to a threat to freedom of expression here in America. #TheInterview

We do not negotiate with terrorists. We just do exactly what they say.

Keep hoping all this lunacy over THE INTERVIEW is just gonzo marketing but Sony canceling release is sadly real. I feel for you, @Sethrogen!

The precedent of letting a nation state get away w cyber terrorism is 1 that will set the tone for anyone who wishes 2 suppress our freedoms

Sad day for creative expression. #feareatsthesoul

#TheInterview Is that all it takes - an anonymous threat and the numbers 911 - to throw free expression under the bus? #PussyNation

Canceling "The Interview" seems like a pretty horrible precedent to set.

So SONY fight back by canceling The Interview, thus proving to the hackers that hacking & threats work very well? That may prove an error.

What 1st Amendment? #sony

The tv networks should reimburse Sony for the costs of The Interview and simulcast it in prime time.

KIM KONG UN IS A CRIMINAL AND WE CANNOT LET THEM WIN!!!! EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS AS FREE PEOPLE AND GET THEATRES TO PLAY #TheInterview!

Saw @Sethrogen at JFK. Both of us have never seen or heard of anything like this. Hollywood has done Neville Chamberlain proud today.

Dear Sony Hackers: now that u run Hollywood, I'd also like less romantic comedies, fewer Michael Bay movies and no more Transformers.
— Michael Moore (@MMFlint) December 17, 2014

THE INTERVIEW is now poised to shatter the world record for "spite viewings."
— Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) December 17, 2014

.@RobLowe it wasn't the hackers who won, it was the terrorists and almost certainly the North Korean dictatorship, this was an act of war
— Newt Gingrich (@newtgingrich) December 17, 2014

Wow. Everyone caved. The hackers won. An utter and complete victory for them. Wow.
— Rob Lowe (@RobLowe) December 17, 2014

. @JuddApatow I agree wholeheartedly. An un-American act of cowardice that validates terrorist actions and sets a terrifying precedent.
— Jimmy Kimmel (@jimmykimmel) December 17, 2014

We also don't know that it isn't a disgruntled employee or a hacker. Do we think North Korea has troops on the ground in the US? Ridiculous
— Judd Apatow (@JuddApatow) December 17, 2014

I think it is disgraceful that these theaters are not showing The Interview. Will they pull any movie that gets an anonymous threat now?
