George R.R. Martin is a man who wears many hats. He’s the editor
of Wild Cards, consultant to TV series, and the slow writer of the Song of Ice
& Fire series. Many on you would know the last as The Game of Thrones.
Here’s one more hat for Martin; proud movie theater owner!
By now, everyone would have heard of Sony Pictures caving in
to the threats of North Korea and cancelling the release of “The Interview”. I
mean they are so afraid of Kim Jong Un, they don’t even dare release the film
in DVD! It is a total victory for the North Korean dictator.
Not so fast.
Showing a stubbornness that would make Ned Stark proud, Martin
say he intend to screen the movie! The author co-owns Jean Cocteau Cinema, a
movie theater in New Mexico, and offered to screen the controversial movie at his
theater. Of course, there are problems to the plan like getting a copy of the
movie but there seem to be at least one guy in America with some balls.
Kim Jong Un, look out! Winter is coming.
