No such thing as bad publicity.

This always struck me as a stupid idea for a movie. Not because we should be afraid of the Norks, because it’s a stupid idea for a movie. I wonder who greenlighted it?

[ifinnegan]

It’s China.

NK is involves as a proxy.

[Gay State Conservative]

I seriously doubt NK had anything to do with it.

Do you doubt that they have the *ability* or the *inclination* to do it?

Regarding ability...do you *really* think that the Chinese,Russians,Iranians and North Koreans have no desire to bring the West to its knees through the use of hackers?

Regarding inclination...tell us everything you know about the North Korean state.Then we'll talk.

[longfellow]

Their fans will have to look real hard to see them in a funny movie cause this ain’t it.

This and Will Ferrell is what passes for comedy
Nowadays.

This dictator did them a favor.

[sappy]

Seriously. THis will be a huge DVD/Netflix seller.

[justlurking]

Do you doubt that they have the *ability* or the *inclination* to do it?

I doubt they have the ability. The Chinese probably do, but what's the point of attacking Sony Pictures? All they get out of it is bravado, and it doesn't impress me.

Regarding ability...do you *really* think that the Chinese,Russians,Iranians and North Koreans have no desire to bring the West to its knees through the use of hackers?

See above. A cyber attack on Sony Pictures just makes Sony look like they are incompetent. The US can survive without them, and might even do better without them.

[windsorknot]

There were to terrorist threats?

Not won, but to.

[MeshugeMikey]

[riri]

I agree. It’s ridiculous.

[riri]

Yeah, but James Franco is nice to look at.

[PGR88]

How do we know SONY didn’t make this faux threat to rouse public curiosity?

I had the same thought. But such a conspiracy would involve many people, and would be difficult to keep secret. I don't know the wording, but its also possibly illegal to make public threats about harming people, terrorist attacks, etc...Very dangerous to Sony if found out to be a hoax

If I were a cynical movie exec, I would roll with it. Publicly "Stand up" to the blackmailers, let them issue counter threats, do all the talk shows, hype the media, keep it going as long as possible. If North Korea really wants to attack the USA over it, well that's the politicians' problem. Watch the publicity and $$$ roll in!!!

[TexasCajun]

Time to call Team America!!

It was great movie....I still raffing

[uncitizen]

Sony execs just trying to take the attention off of themselves?...

[left that other site]

Yes. it always HAS been.

[envisio]

If Kim Um is running his country the way he wants, then his people have no idea what movies are out right now or that Hollywood even exists.

[Gay State Conservative]

If the Chinese have the ability (and you can bet they do) then their good pals and allies in NK have it too.As for what's accomplished...it embarrasses Sony for their filthy slander against Dear Leader III and,much more importantly,it informs ordinary citizens of civilized industrial nations (and reminds the leaders of those nations) of just what they're capable of doing.

[Blue Collar Christian]

I couldn’t resist.

[Blue Collar Christian]

Keep it up FRiend.
