We need Seth Macfarlane to do some Kim impersonations in a new film to make him even more mad.

I think the new film will be about Russia. Have you heard Scorpions song "Wind Of Change" in the end? Wink

It's worth the Netflix watch Cheesy

but paying $11 at a theatre would have sucked

Tell me about it! I saw this morning that it is on Netflix now. I could have saved a few bucks if I had known that ahead of time.

No need for any response. This movie is a piece of crap. Watching it carries its own punishment.

After watching the movie to see what all the fuss was about
I sort of have to agree with you on this it was a punishment in its own right lol.

My wife and I went to see that movie recently. I thought it was very funny, for what it was. We got plenty of laughs out of it. Rogan and Franco are definitely no Laurel and Hardy, but they have good chemistry together on screen.
It doesn't take much to anger the man-child Kim, so it should be no surprise that he was upset about this, especially since the movie did in fact have some truth to it as far as just how miserable the North Korean people are in general and how strong the State-run propaganda machine is as far as trying to convince the NK people and the rest of the world that everything is awesome in NK.

And I threaten less than one care given. Really, no one cares about North Korea's "leaders". The whole thing about the movie is just a circus to make money and I love it. Good for Sony and everyone making money off this ridiculous show. lol

Wait, so it's North Korea behind the hack again now? Swear I read a leak somewhere stating it was just a bunch of random hackers and the US were blaming North Korea in the media so they can see how far they can go with imposing sanctions on the internet OUTSIDE of the US. Anything that comes from the US of this nature, take it with a pinch of salt - they're full of shit.

Obama imposes new sanctions against North Korea in response to Sony hack

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jan/02/obama-imposes-sanctions-north-korea-sony-hack-the-interview

<< US president signs executive order leveling targeted sanctions against North Korean officials after cyber-attack on Sony Pictures. >>

This is the bigger issue here. Why does the US impose sanctions on NK for someone in that country allegedly hacking the website of an avg company???

This is huge news IMHO and the American public should be more outraged by the gross misuse of political power to protect a random company.

I dont want my tax dollars being used to protect the financial well being of any company.
I know companies are "people" too nowadays (sarcasm fully meant) but this is completely unbelievable...

Might be worse than that. I've heard speculation the involvement might be because of the court case against Sony. Would they be able to dismiss the case by claiming the hack was the action of a state? Outside their control basically.

maybe the Obama only said that because the US government needs a reason to cyber-attack NK publicly.

either that, or Obama was looking forward to watching The Interview. Tongue

Good, I hope they do something that earns them the asswooping they'd deserved for over 50 years. North Korea are aggressors seeking to dominate under a deity monarchy. They have one modern grocery store but no one is allowed to purchase anything there. What a load of crap. No one takes them serious.

North Korea is so isolated by state censorship, and only a handful of high level officials can have any very limited access to Internet that I don't see why Kim doesn't just tell his people that they already went to war with the USA and won. Who would know the difference?
What I really believe is that the whole thing is a sham. Guerrilla marketing in effort to save a fail movie.

NK wants to be respected outside of their country. The NK government does often tell these kinds of lies to their people and (at least according to the interview) they often believe it

I wonder if NK would leave earth if they had the option to go settle down by themselves in some remote part of the galaxy. And I wonder how the rest of the world would feel about it.
I know I would definitely leave this planet along with humanity if I could. Would be awesome if I could get a whole planet at the other end of the universe all to myself

So North Korea promised another "9-11" if this movie was shown.

Did they do anything at all?

Nope (besides the original sony hack). Although to be fair there was not a lot they could do. The theaters that showed the film were very small and any terrorist attack would likely have little impact on america. I also imagine that overall security was increased which would decrease the likelyhood that any such attack would be successful

isn't it obvious already that they never carry out their threats? with the whole world against them, I'd be surprised if they do.
