They were so successful they even got the President to make a press conference to address it. Avatar never got a White House presser.

Now people will flock to see a mediocre movie because of all this buzz. Whomever was behind this deserves a big assed Christmas bonus from Sony, Rogen, and Franco.

to raise buzz and to cover the response to the other emails, such as the one calling Angelina Jolie a spoiled brat!

You ever watch state run propaganda from places like North Korea, Iran, Syria and Russia and notice how mindless and stupid it is?

I don't know what this movie is going to be about but I am not going to watch a movie that promotes more war. I had enough of it after 9/11 and the Iraq war.
