Honestly this movie is probably terrible (in terms of the plot) and is only going to do well because it has Kim in it, and with him threating Sony a lot of morons are going to see this movie just so it can become a form of protest against Kim showing that "America wont back down" even though Sony is a privately owned entity based in japan.

Yep I saw that news item, I'm still not convinced in the slightest that it's actually North Korea, simply because like with Iran the west is spoiling for a fight and looking for a legitimate excuse to invade them.
DPRK is a chinese protectorate, so let them try.Yeah but as we know from Snowden's leaks even the Chinese are getting tired of North Korea's bullshit.
That's exactly my point, I think like with ISIS the world is just getting fed up with their bullshit.

right ...
i see some really smart ppl in here falling for the us gov/media paradigm.
rise up yer heads ppl and open yer eyes
why kim's in the crosshairs should be no surprize
for those who dabble in crypto could easily surmise
it is the lack of fiat currency in korea that will lead to their demise
ya it's a funny thing - it used to be, under sadaam, iraq had no rothschild dynasty owned central bank. now they do.
same for n.k. and some in africa
spotlight on the action

North Korea demands joint inquiry with US into Sony Pictures hack

The scary thing is, if we could have done something about North Korea, we would have done it long ago.
The comfort lies in the fact that if they could have done something about us, they would have done it long ago.
With the release of the interview, which essentially makes fun of Kim (which is very offense to NK) gives them an additional incentive to want to do something to the US/west. The comfort lies in the fact that if they could have done something about us, they would have done it long ago.
The reason why the west is unable to do anything to NK is because China supports the NK government because they do not want western influence in the Korean Peninsula. If NK were to do something reckless, like say attempt a terrorist attack, then it could potentially be facing an invasion/attack from it's north border

What a bunch of cowards at Sony. I guess I know how to get what I want from them, threats. I have decided to not buy ANY Sony products or services until I have seen this movie in a theater. So listen up Sony or I'll rain merciless fire on you! 
I think holding off on the release does make somewhat sense for sony. Most of the major theater chains decided not to show the interview so they don't even stand to make very much by releasing it even if the theaters that do show it sell out off of their showings. Plus the threat of terrorism is likely going to prevent other moviegoers from wanting to go to the movies at all as any terrorist attack would likely affect people in the entire building not a specific theater that the interview is playing in so sony's other releases will be negatively affected.

Funny, they threatened the USA........
SETH ROGEN IS CANADIAN!
SETH ROGEN IS CANADIAN!
lol.. He threatened the producers of the movie, and not the actors. James Weaver is from the US, right? Also Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are Jewish. Kim should threaten to destroy Israel as well.
that would make iran very happy.
Well they already are on cordial terms with each other
Even North Korea keeps some relations with other countries lol.
I fully believe that Kim Jong-Un and his family have been a murderous catastrophe for the North Korean people, but it doesn't help that most of the attention it receives from the international community is made-up stories (the haircut, the flamethrower executions, feeding uncle to dogs etc.) that allow us to see the whole country as a slapstick, madcap bit of Bond villainy rather than the deliberate throttling of tens of millions of people.
Indeed, that said the news article that South Korean will send DVDS over to North Korea of this movie without DVD players or food or electricity made me facepalm.
While I do not doubt that there are many atrocities in the DPRK and that it is widespread, I also can't fully trust propaganda based news without facts like the uncles to dogs thing etc.
It's a matter of whose information you can trust unfortunately with a black box you can smear whatever you want on it and well it might stick because their is no way to fact check.
Or should we just look at Cuba and Miami atm lol....
Evil dictator my ass Castro s cool enough rest of worlds been amicable for years
(Darn Mafia remnants)
(Soon Havana will be the gambling capital again lol)

The Interview: Sony's retreat signals an unprecedented defeat on American turf
http://www.theguardian.com/film/2014/dec/18/the-interview-sony-hack-north-korea-film
<< This is not the first time a Hollywood film has triggered an international incident, but the reaction has struck closer to home than ever before. >>
This seems like a good way to take advantage of the situation and promote the movie. A couple of weeks later turn back and release the notorious movie, making a lot more than usual from it.

Completely true at least in the US
I thought the movie looked kind of stupid before but now that is has been banned I'm going to have to torrent it when it leaks.
