North Korea: No ‘physical reaction’ to new film
By Associated Press December 24 at 5:21 PM
UNITED NATIONS — North Korea says it likely will have no “physical reaction,” just condemnation, to the release of the comedy film “The Interview,” which depicts the assassination of leader Kim Jong Un.
A North Korea diplomat to the United Nations told The Associated Press on Wednesday that his country opposes the film’s release online and in over 300 U.S. theaters this week.

P!
The majority (99%) of North Koreans have no idea who Sony is or their movie or what a theater is. Most North Koreans live in a world shaped by state propaganda and are molded and shaped by it. Independent thinking gets people killed in North Korea — provided the state needs a reason.
> N. Korean reaction suddenly turns lame.
Kim Jong Un had his porn access cut off by the U.S. after blowing off his mouth and he no happy....
I saw a fascinating story on how popular culture (mainly South Korean) is smuggled into North Korea. Smugglers bring in dvd players, dvds, etc. Young people in the north are starting to become aware that there is a much better world outside.
An elaborate publicity stunt arranged after Sony rejected the initial ‘version’ of the film and forced Rogan and crew into rewrites/edits.
Even so, the movie is on par with similar movies by Rogan and Franco. Outrageous, obscene, and yet hilarious. As usual, a proclivity for homosexual references and rantings.
The beginning sequence with EMINEM was great, especially for those who listen to EMINEM all the time.
Overall, it was pretty good. I don’t want to give away the rest to those who plan to watch but haven’t seen it yet.
They should make a silly film too.
I heard this guy executed his uncle using 120 dogs.
Now that’s funny right there.
This is a bad movie. I stopped at 35 minutes. I have no desire to be 13 years old again.
This has been going on for some time. It reached its peak in mid-2000's. Smuggling networks were established which could reach deep inland. Party officials and soldiers lived off bribe and looked the other way. It was widespread. Feel threatened, Kim Jong-il started crackdown hard. However, once the storm passes, they grew up again. It has been going back and forth since then. Kim Jong-un has been cracking down hard on smuggling or unsanctioned(illegal) trade, while he encourages state-sanctioned slave labor trade.
That could be a movie review being written right now, No Physical Reaction.
I bet that is what Jong Un’s wife says to him that he is all hat and no cattle.
The dog story was a figment of someone’s imagination. Reputable reports believe Uncle Jang was dispatched via machine gun.
On Wednesday, one alternate theory emerged. Computational linguists at Taia Global, a cybersecurity consultancy, performed a linguistic analysis of the hackers’ online messages — which were all written in imperfect English — and concluded that based on translation errors and phrasing, the attackers are more likely to be Russian speakers than Korean speakers.

If NK is not involved, I suspect the perps will respond.
BTW the report was done very fast

Excellent work!
The little riceball just blinked.
Obama lives with his mother-in-law. That right there is comedy gold.
He recently saw fit to pose for a photo in a tiera.
Hollywood won't make that film, so may NoKo should?
