I will just leave this here.

I'm sure this is going to hurt Sony's stock.

Wow, so the movie isn't even coming out now! Not sure I agree with that since that really shows N. Korea that they won. I am sure Sony lost tons of money off this, but why not release it and get some of that back; but more importantly to show there "act" did not stop the film.

So damn, now if I want to see this I am forced to illegally download it...I love Franco and Rogan and was looking forward to this.

[bulldog]

My co-worker just put a different spin on. She stated Sony headquarters are in Japan and she feel the movie was pulled because Sony feared more attacks from N. Korea. Guess I hadn’t thought about that.

[TFOGGuys]

They were threatening attack on Sony employees and theaters that showed the film as well. I understand their caution, but hate the fact that the bullies won.

[Ezzzzy1]

The attach was on the US side of Sony.

This is crazy. Its even a little bit more scary that they could care less about $$ it was all about showing their capabilities. Even more scary is that they are probably aiming their missiles at us as we speak and telling their people that the US made a movie about killing Jung-un and they stopped it, bla bla bla. They may have even seen the video as a "serious" threat to their countries security.

Its actually a pretty big deal in my opinion.

I can't even imagine how excited that fat little dictator dipshit is right now. He will probably announce a national holiday for his people to celebrate how he defeated the Americans all on his own.

He is probably still a little pissed about how his dad was disrespected by Team America.

[kevplus2]

Point them our direction all they want...just like their "do as I say and not as I do" brand of politics, they fall way short

[#1Townie]

Can't believe this country just bows to threats like this anymore. I'm going to ban Sony from my life.

[mdub]

Same as the extreme Muslims threatening the well being of the creators of South Park if they made fun of Mohammed .

[vort3xr6]

The movie was going to suck anyway and the plot was atrocious. I am glad they cancelled it. Franco and Rogen should learn a lesson from this about starring in shitty movies.

[asp_125]

Shameful how we've cowed to what amounts to the "short bus" of countries. No matter if the movie was good or bad, the real issue of a whole industry caving in is sad.. just sad. Sony should just release the video on VOD or free download, to say "suck it, Kim jong-un"

... aannd.. we've been upstaged by the Canadians. http://www.narcity.com/toronto/toron...view-anyways/#

The movie is a comedy, not a serious film. It will be released online and we can send Dennis Rodman to patch things up with NK.

[07D675CO]

Who really thinks NK is going to send over terrorists to blow stuff up in Merica?! They would much rather stay here than blow stuff up. Ridiculous.

Some really, really interesting facts about Jong-il. This stuff seems unbelievable
He had a supernatural birth
Kim Jong-il was born in Siberia in 1941 while his parents were during the Japanese occupation of Korea, according to Soviet documents.
But according to official North Korean literature, he was born in a log cabin at his father's secret base on North Korea's sacred Mt Paektu in 1942.

The same reports claim his birth were heralded by a swallow and caused winter to change to spring, a star to illuminate the sky and rainbows to spontaneously appear.

He was the best golfer the world has ever seen
In 1994, Pyongyang media reported that Kim Jong-il shot an amazing 11 holes-in-one to achieve an unprecedented 38-under-par game on a regulation 18-hole golf course - on his first try at golf.

Reports say each of his 17 bodyguards verified the record-breaking feat.
He loved film so much he kidnapped two filmmakers
A filmmaking author with a collection of over 20,000 movies, Jong-il's passion for the art led him to kidnap South Korean director Shin Sang-ok and his actress wife Choi Eun-hee to make Pulgasari, basically a socialist version of Godzilla.
The couple made an escape while in Austria on a trip to finalise plans for Pulgasari's sequel by fleeing to the American embassy.
He was a fashion icon
Pyongyang announced the leader had become a worldwide fashion icon after Rodong Sinmun, a communist party newspaper in North Korea, reported Kim Jong-il's suits had become a global fashion phenomenon.

An "unidentified French fashion expert" agreed: "Kim Jong-il mode, which is now spreading expeditiously worldwide, is something unprecedented in the world's history."
He didn't defecate
According to the official biography on the North Korean state web site, Kim Jong-il didn't defecate. The biography has since been taken down.
He lured short people with a wonder drug that promised to make them tall, then kidnapped them
Kim Hyun-sik, a former tutor to Jong-il, said the government handed out pamphlets to thousands of people selling a wonder drug that would make them taller. When they responded to the ad, they were sent away to "uninhabited islands in an attempt to end their 'substandard' genes from repeating in a new generation," Hyun-sik said.
He only ate rice of uniform in length and colour
A nephew of Jong-il's first wife, Lee Young Nam, wrote that the obsessive leader insisted his rice be cooked using trees cut from Mt. Paektu (the mountain where he was born), and that he had female staff inspected each grain of rice to make sure it met his strict standards.
He was the world's biggest Hennessey drinker
A study by Dr. Jerold Post, a former CIA psychologist, revealed the former dictator loved a Hennessey cognac that retails for $630 a bottle in Korea - $270 less than the average Korean annual income, $900.

"He is the largest customer over the last 10 years, averaging between $650,000 and $720,000 a year."

So hey. On a side note. Who watched this movie just because they didn't want us to watch it?

I did. Not a half bad movie.

[mdub]

movie was entertaining ...i liked it...i'll watch it again if a free opportunity arise.

[Slo]

Same here.... definitely entertaining. I wouldn't have gone to the theatres to watch it anyway.
