Maybe they've told their people that we don't have electricity, news or the internet in the US, and therefore we won't notice?
Or maybe they have two streams of news releases- one for the outside world, and another for their own people, who really do have limited access to those things? Possibly the latter, but it makes them sound as crazy as that pundit(Rush?) that claimed the hacking was an act of war.

I'm sure we would all be terrified if anyone knew what the hell a citadel is.
Maybe the people in Charleston feel threatened?

It wasn't us behind it though. The guy riding the bike hooked up to a generator generating the power to feed the signal for their internet got tired and went home early. No juice. You are grave insulting the fine DPRK and are sure to be filled with all doom and terrible.

The theaters near me will be showing it. They're independently owned. I think I'll go see it, just because I can.

If there was a way to financially reward the theater owners for showing it without any money going to anyone further up the food chain, I would go but personally can't support the idiots who made it in the first place.

Plus, a crummy movie is a crummy movie, even if Kim Jong Un doesn't like it.

This is a map of the 2000 recorded ddos attacks in daily. www.digitalattackmap.com/#anim=1&color=0&country=ALL&list=0&time=16427&view=mapSeems to be a lot going in to Peru... for some reason. So who is at fault?......who knows. The source can be hidden, tools available online and bot nets can be hired These aren't normally government attacks.....probably spotty youths with nothing better to do. As for the film, Christmas Day? pfft.....I'm busy Though I might catch the Hobbit before the end of the holidays.

What a dumb reason to watch a movie. Even if people are curious about the content, the trailer undoubtedly blazes through the highlights.

I've got all kinds of time, and I'm not going to see it either. Was never big on comedies. I heard it did well around here. We have no big theater chains locally so it was in all the area's theaters. Didn't see any Korean war planes. I put the Barrett .50/cal by the kitchen door just in case, but it was for naught.

Just watched it on Xbox live, pretty decent comedy. I wish all movies went straight to on demand on day one, the current model of theaters locking up the rights for 3 months needs to go away.

Found a nice link on the box office of This is the End, a movie I probably would find more amusing than the Interview.
www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=daily&id=rogenhilluntitled.htm
Its cool they show number of theatres and running gross total in a calendar format. 3055 theatres showing the movie becomes 1394 in 30 days.
I don't know what the ending gross with The Interview will be especially since I'm not sure one has ever been released on line by Sony in this way. I will be surprised if it makes even half its production budget unless something new and unexpected happens.

Impressive. Looks like they will easily make $21-$22Million so I am going to be wrong.
