As you more than likely know by now, Sony Pictures announced last night that the release of The Interview has been postponed indefinitely following threats from cyber terrorists (they promised a 9/11 scale attack if the movie hit theatres on Christmas Day, something which prompted most of the US' largest chains to cancel screenings). It's a pretty serious situation, but James Gunn lightened the mood by revealing the following list which now has a certain name checked off due to these events. Of course, Gunn has already revealed that he knows the identity of Star-Lord's father - who we should meet in Guardians of the Galaxy 2 - and so it's obviously no else mentioned on the humorous list below. Or is it? Nah! Stay tuned to CBM for more on the highly anticipated sequel.

Watcha gonna do now North Korea? Bomb the internet?

MarkyMarkRises - 12/18/2014, 10:24 AM

I don't care if Gunn wants Awe Mix 2 to be only 60s/70s/80s music, put this as track 1!

MCUsDarkKnight - 12/18/2014, 10:24 AM

LOL BACON

BigFoster - 12/18/2014, 10:24 AM

Hilarious

MarkyMarkRises - 12/18/2014, 10:26 AM

Come to think it, the fans would actually recognize the music upon an initial listening session

Emblemmaniac - 12/18/2014, 10:26 AM

That is actually pretty funny

Havenless - 12/18/2014, 10:27 AM

What's that last one say? ISCANI?

Pasto - 12/18/2014, 10:28 AM

Poor Jollem.

Havenless - 12/18/2014, 10:30 AM

@Jollem

Lockout? I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but man you have some shitty taste in movies.

AsgardianHobo - 12/18/2014, 10:31 AM

Hahaha, Jollem is so lonely, he needs this attention

Kevin Bacon for Quill's dad!

Jollem's butthurt is terminal, guys. Don't abuse him.

pesmerga44 - 12/18/2014, 10:32 AM

@Pasto

Ya we know poor little guy just tries so hard to troll any Marvel thread he can. Even the Joker finds him sad.

JillyMcBeam - 12/18/2014, 10:33 AM

Why are US chains afraid? No one is going to attack America...and live to talk about it.

Pasto - 12/18/2014, 10:33 AM

Having recently seen Footloose Bacon NEEDS to be Quill's pops.

sKeemAn - 12/18/2014, 10:36 AM

Sony takes an L for this movie.

imkennypowers - 12/18/2014, 10:37 AM

Sorry to repeat myself, but...

If "Footloose" is on "Awesome Mix vol.2" Kevin Bacon is Quill's father!!

And at least one Loggins song has to be on the mix, right?!?

sKeemAn - 12/18/2014, 10:37 AM

The fact that they made a terrorist threat over a movie says all we need to know about Mrs n. korea. Sensitive bitches!!

JillyMcBeam - 12/18/2014, 10:39 AM

@Gusto

That's only because Miley's always got someone in her cave.

Pasto - 12/18/2014, 10:40 AM

I said this already, imagine if Sony went through and released the film and the NK actually went through with their threats...

Now why risk that over a dumb film?

Pasto - 12/18/2014, 10:41 AM

Like Dio said, just put it on VOD or something. Hell, YouTube it.

sKeemAn - 12/18/2014, 10:41 AM

@dio

that would be epic

SauronsBANE - 12/18/2014, 10:42 AM

Titan A.E. was freaking awesome.

But on the other hand, none of those movies are in direct competition with Guardians of the Galaxy...so any comparisons between them are pretty much irrelevant.
