I thought it was weird Obama said Sony should've stood up to them
I mean sony hasn't been getting much money lately, they're just known for their t.v's which are failing, sony walkman obsolete, their movies obv don't do that well, I think they've almost fallen back on videogames and camera's right?
Could obama have done anything? do we really beleive someone in North korea hacked sony pictures and was releasing emails? Sony realisticly couldn't stand up to threats of violence and if they did we already know korea makes a lot of drugs and tries to make weapons that could do something...
So anyway even if I didn't ever see the movie, it'd just be kind of weird a couple of guys making fun of someone in THAT kind of power even if only satire-acle

Sony said they'll release it anyway. Obama said "we will respond" wtf that means.
Meanwhile, I'm still wondering what "unspecified demands" the GoP has been trying to get out of SPE.

Because of n korea it will be a big hit.

I don't know the answer to that, but a Christmas day leak would make sense.

Sony said today (or yesterday?) that they plan on releasing it soon regardless. Not in theaters, but in another "format".
Anonymous said they are leaking it as a Christmas present so that would imply on the 25th I guess.
This whole thing has been blown so outta proportion by the gvmn't though.

i think even tho this movie will not be aired in theaters it will certainly bring attention to north korea and their obviously tyrant dictator ship.

It wasn't Obama that made this a big deal. It was the media, especially when they published the hacked e-mails.

The media blew it out of proportion as they tend to do with just about everything, but when Obama made a statement on national TV about it is when I think it really got out of hand. I believe Cheney made a public statement right afterwards saying that this should be treated as an "act of war".

I do believe we should have been hacking the shit out of everybody already. Just to have ammunition ready to go.

"North Korea experienced sweeping and progressively worse Internet outages extending into Monday, with one computer expert saying the country's online access is "totally down." The White House and the State Department declined to say whether the U.S. government was responsible."

I don't see how the north Korean gov could consider it a bad thing that their internets went down. Maybe they prefer that their citizens not be anywhere near the fiasco..

What could North Korea have that would be worth the effort of hacking to begin with?
