- I still don't think they'd risk prison for this. Makes no sense.monospaced
- Prison? for generating buzz over a movie? what's the penalty for that? a parking ticket?Miguex
- a slap on the hand and a warning?Miguex
- the hack was a real publicity stunt tooMilan
- Leaking thousands of SSNs of employees seems unnecessary for a publicity stuntukit2
- a public stunt to get a whole whopping 1 mil on opening day for a 44 mil productionmoldero
- talk about conspiracy theorists! You think a company like Sony would go to this level for a stupid movie?! That's the real crazy!formed
- have you seen the level Sony has taken their past commercials. yes, they go all the way.omg
- it seems to me that some of you think that the pr stunt for the movie and the hack are related for some reason?Miguex
- bulletfactory0
Is it possible Sony may have perpetrated this 'hack' themselves to create a shitload of buzz because they knew they had a turd on their hands?

By 'canceling' the release (which they'll never really do), they're making this movie so much more interesting (or the idea that this movie is so controversial), which will make s ton more money than another boring rogan/franco bromance vehicle would be otherwise.Or maybe i'm a conspiracy theorist?
- argh - fucking typos.bulletfactory
- I don't think the movie is that important to them. Some serious material was leaked that will really cost them.omahadesigns
- it won't cost them anything it was all useless infouuuuuu
- Actual movies were leaked onto torrent sites. They didn't gain anything from thatukit2
- they won A LOT OF BUZZ, what the hell are you talking about.. I think this is a very possible scenarioMiguex
- highly doubtful since whomever did it would likely be sent to prison for the rest of their livesmonospaced

At least North Korea doesn't participate in this propaganda war with the West... oh right, it's EVERYWHERE. On the street, in schools... far more harmful than a Seth Rogan movie.

- dude... this is just more US-made propaganda meant to make you think NK is badPonyBoy
- You think America doesn't have propaganda on the street and in schools?nb
- Is your argument, "North Korea does it, so why can't we?"nb
- Propaganda in schools? They can't even update a test let alone get teachers to voice an opinion on n Korea to childrenmonospaced
- There is propaganda to a degree everywhere. But yeah, pretty confident the US doesn't approach it anything like this.ETM

We watched it last night and I laughed a ton at it. Pretty dumb movie but has it's moments. I was just against it mostly because of how irresponsible it is to make a movie like that.
- Irresponsible? More than Team America?monospaced
- I never saw Team America actually.mg33
- "Irresponsible"? Seriously? It's a stupid comedy! And if you felt that way why watch and contribute?formed
- what about all the war videogames taking place on real life based places? how is this movie less responsible than that?Miguex
- those games?Miguex

Anyone think all of this is marketing for the movie?
or is it so bad sony droops it off on youtube and on torrents christmas eve?But then again the president give a speech on it. either way i will most likely just watch christmas story, smoke weed, and drank.- I work on the Sony lot and there was definitely a hack. It messed us up for two weeks while they tried to rebuild the system from the ground upFawnDog
- ground up. We have moved post production off the lot for security. It has been way too messy to be marketing.FawnDog
- <damnmoldero
- hope things works out, FawnDog.akrok
- to be clear, those who think this was a stunt, think this movie and the hack are not related.Miguex

distraction from the fact that american soldiers sodomized 'terrists with fuckn humus and still practice torture on a world scale,
but quick, lets distract them with the north korean boogieman,
what a fuckn joke- < exactly - "ooooh our propaganda driven media circus got disrupted - how dare them... "fadein11

Are you daft? There have been SO MANY movies about the current American "situtation(s)":
Margin Call
Too Big To Fail
Up in the Air
Wall Street: Money Never SleepsFruitvale Station
Stop Loss
The Hurt Locker
Body of Lies
Syriana
Green ZoneLiterally off the top of my head... probably missed some great examples.
And that's mostly Hollywood stuff, not included great documentaries. Do you honestly think such issues are not expressed throughout art and media in the American culture everyday?... and I am not even American.
- < @oeyETM
- Yep, but these are American movies examining America, which is far more classy than American movies ridiculing others.nb
- ....others.nb
- nb - always on a high horse with no solid arguments.ETM
- You movies making fun of America? Like Borat and the Dictator, made with US studio funding.ETM
- Team America mocks the US as much as N. Korea.ETM
- Foreign cinema has been more and more frequently portraying Americans negatively, is the US losing their shit about it?ETM
- Ferris Buelers Day Off was a superb analysis of the death of the American Dreamfadein11
- thanks ETM!... Gonna cheek that!
But I meant Seth Rogan and James Franco!oey - Try Pineapple Express then :)ETM
- Seen that...oey

I "know" that North Korea is a Dictatorship.
But what did they do in reent years besides trying some rockets?Did they overthrew governments in South America?
Did they use and Atomic Bomb in other country?
Did they invade Iraq?And so on...
The list is big...who's the real Worl threath?Massive bullshit!
As to Sony, go fuck themselves.
Who cares?James Franco and Seth Rogan?
HAHAHAHAHAHA!Fucking Ridiculous.
- < this. Gotta love Americans whining on when they experience anything remotely threatening yet happily bully the entire world and are generally found to be involved at the root of any major issue.fadein11

Can someone provide an example of a N. Korean film that specifically "targets" any American leader? I've heard experts discussing that there really aren't Korean propaganda films that would even mention a US President's name, let alone show depictions of him as a fool, and certainly never a comedic assassination of any foreign leader. The NK propaganda films will show NK as being great, etc, but never a direct humiliation of an American president.
Yet, this is something we see again and again from Hollywood.
The point is: Hollywood is the world's major producer of propaganda films.
And before you say, "it's different because it's private", keep in mind that these movies and studios benefit from federal tax breaks, incentives, and general arts and culture funding. They are partially government sponsored.

Apparently they were hacked again
http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/te…
Are the hackers really from North Korea? The whole things seems kind of farcical.
- It's most likely Seth Rogan and James FrancoRamanisky2
- North Korea doesnt even have computersmoldero
- Isn;t this just more fallout from the hack, not a new one?ETM
- I heard it was Chinese hackers contracted by NKformed

This wasn't simply a promotional stunt for the movie it is PROPOGANDA and means of perpetuating this cold war with north korea. that bastion of truth and honesty US intelligence are the ones who are claiming North Korea are behind it, the same US intel that claimed Hussain had WMD and was involved in 911.
There's obviously a lot more to it. Why would NK hack a major corporation because a dictator was butt hurt over a movie? That would be stupid, they aren't stupid. US would like you to think they are though. Thats the point of the movie too, look NK are idiots.
