The Interview Is "Desperately Unfunny", "Will Flop" If Not Cancelled According To Leaked Sony Emails
The conspiracy theories surrounding the story of The Interview's cancellation in the aftermath of the North Korean "hacking" just keep getting stranger by the day, (and will, in 6-9, months lead to the blockbuster drama: "How 'The Interview' Got Cancelled")
First, as we previously reported, at the same time as the NYT reported that according to the US the hack "undisputedly" originated in North Korea, Wired magazine released an article explaining why it is impossible to make such a determination (see Someone is Lying). That, however, did not stop the US on its inexplicable witch hunt, and moments ago Reuters reported that according to the US, it was indeed North Korea who was responsible for the hacks (although, the report adds, North Korea may have had a little help from China so nobody really know but whatever). From Reuters:
A U.S. investigation into the hack of Sony's computer system has determined that North Korea was behind the operation with a possible Chinese link, a U.S. official said on Friday.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the conclusion was to be announced later by federal authorities.
The probe into the hack found North Korea was behind it and that there may be a Chinese link either through collaboration with Chinese actors or by using Chinese servers to mask the origination of the hack, the official said.
So far so good: hardly anyone would expect more, or less, from the country that invaded Iraq due to imaginary WMDs and almost launched a war against Syria based on a doctored YouTube clip.
Where it gets downright bizarre, however, is that as Reuters also reported earlier citing leaked emails of international Sony Pictures executive, the infamous movie in question "is "desperately unfunny" and would have flopped overseas if it had not been canceled."
Wait a minute, it sounds almost as if the evil North Korean "hackers" did Sony... a favor?
It sure does. Here is more from Reuters:
... even before the cancellation of the film, Sony executives responsible for the international release of the movie were concerned the action-comedy featuring Hollywood stars Seth Rogen and James Franco would not translate to a foreign audience, the leaked e-mails show.
Reuters has not been able to verify the authenticity of the documents, although Sony has confirmed that at least some are authentic.
"The unanimous point of view here is that this (is) another misfire from the pairing," said an e-mail purportedly written by Peter Taylor, of Sony Pictures UK.
Actually judging by outside reviews it would have most certainly been a bomb, pun intended, in the US as well:
Taylor said the film was "desperately unfunny and repetitive," and "James Franco proves once again that irritation is his strong suit which is a shame because the character could have been appealing and funny out of his hands."
Taylor and other executives agreed that the first half hour of the film, which features a satirical interview with hip-hop artist Eminem, was amusing but was later overshadowed by "realistic violence that would be shocking in a horror movie".
Staff in Holland said the film was "unbalanced," and a French executive said the film went too far. "Seth Rogen's humor doesn't really translate," the executive said.
South Korean colleagues raised concerns over the potential political issues and inaccuracies in the North Korean accents used in the film, and said the leading actors were "weak".
Sony staff in Taiwan said the film "didn't stand a chance" in their market, according to the e-mails. Australian executives, however, enjoyed the film and requested lead actor Franco lead a promotional tour of the country.
British executives were less enthusiastic. "Tour-wise, our choice would be to have no one. However if this is not an option (and I suspect it isn't) then we would like the lot," Taylor said. "Not just Rogen and (writer Evan) Goldberg, but God help us Franco as well."
Ok great, it would have flopped, but as Chris Rock said, at least the American public would want "to CHOOSE" not to see the movie (or not as likely would be the case).
And now, due to what appears the most convoluted false flag affair in US history, it may be time to nuke North Korea for depriving the US public from its god-given right of seeing straight-to-DVD flops.

We punked some folks.
Why would anyone care this much about a crappy movie?
The whole world is a movie. For some reason, the Truman Show keeps coming to mind.
Remember that stupid move about Mohammed? People get pissed over little things.
I save my anger for real shit...like the Fed fucking all of us over. I'd just ignore stupid movies mostly. I have to admit I did seek out the Mohammed movie after all the uproar. It was really REALLY terrible. Worse than Caddyshack 2 terrible. People should have rioted in Benghazi for how bad the acting, directing, producing was, not for the content.
Terrorism threat? BS. I'm amazed everyone is taking that seriously and getting all nationalistic over it. There is no credible threat of a domestic terrorist attack by North Koreans. Wouldn't BLACKMAIL be a much simpler explanation?
"If you don't pull the movie we will release emails and other internal documents that make the ones we have released already look like love poems."
And gott love this quote: "Seth Rogen's humor doesn't really translate," the executive said. Seth Rogan's humor? Right up there with "jumbo shrimp" as far as oxymorons go.
Smithcreek....there are a lot of 'tards out there believing they're living kickass lives.
Only explanation I can come up with.
False Flag?
Everywhere I look someone's reading me someone else's emails. ZH is supposed to be better than clickbait

"hardly anyone would expect more, or less, from the country that invaded Iraq due to imaginary WMDs"
Not to be an asshole or anything but we did find chemical WMDs. I know. I was there. Oh thats right. Bush lied and people died. Just keep repeating a lie. Fucktard.
Burn in hell.
Hey don't get me wrong. I don't think invading Iraq was a good idea. I didn't get paid to think. I got paid to shoot people. Regardless the whole bullshit story about us finding nothing is Orwellian. Everybody on this site knows for a fact that we did yet we still get these pandering articles stating the contrary. We have to stop bullshitting ourselves about simple facts that dont support our political view. Im just saying...
The US found stuff allright but it was kept on the downlow because THE US SOLD THE STUFF TO SADDAM!
This is totally out in the open and has been for a while.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-153210/Rumsfeld-helped-Iraq-chem...
Exactly, I don't know why people say we found WMDs. We found degraded shit from the Iran-Iraq war. Shit everyone already knew was there but posed no serious threat. Shit that was likely stamped Dow Chemical or something similar.
But that's not why we invaded. We invaded because of smoking gun mushroom clouds and "mobile weapons labs," as per Powell's UN presentation. So in addition to setting the disturbing precedent of invading a country that hadn't attacked us or even threatened us, the people who sold us on the Iraq War weren't even remotely correct about what they said was there.
I didn't know we found WMDs in Iraq. I heard we found some empty pesticide barrels. Too bad Bush didn't want anyone to know he was right. It would have made the news.
Funny how the argument was framed as "were there WMDs or not" when the true argument should have been about preemptive invasion. As in, is it cool to invade and kill for economic benefit for the elite. And the sheep took it hook, line, and sinker.
You nailed it AR, when you point out the whole "were there WMDs or not" argument as being specious to the overall context for the invasion.
Dick Gazinia is right as well. There were WMDs in Iraq.
But I see more than just economic benefit for Halliburton, et. al. The invasion was payback. Saddam Hussein dared to try to assinate Bush 41 when he was in Quwait after he left office. Bush 43 ginned up the WMD argument without actually knowing there were any there. He lucked out, as it were, when he found some. Well, lucked out may be a bit flip. The USA knew Saddam had WMDs. He got them either from us or with our blessing. Remember, Saddam was our lapdog in fighting Iran. America knew exactly what kind of military horsepower Saddam had.
Why would TPTB want to hide it....hmm?
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/10/16/insiders-blame-rove-for...
You're lucky to be alive. Far too many of your fellow servicemen were extended the ultimate disservice for their loyaty and bravery, and others have issues that will follow them all the days of their lives. Bush did lie. They all lied. Tell me when they ever told the truth involving any war past or present.
To whomever downvoted me--
Do as you please but tell me when they ever told us the truth about any war.
Here's an honest man:
http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/115545.Smedley_D_Butler
Were those the ChemWeps that were there PRIOR to the War - made in the USA, sold by Bush Sr., and monitored by the UN 'til they were kicked out due to the 2nd Invasion?
False Flag?
that could be the point...need a(nother) reason to drop the hammer on n korea?
"False Flag?"
It's looking more and more that way.
WhatReallyHappened has several stories on it this morning.
One thing is clear, the official story is bullshit.
As to exactly what did happen and why, the alternative media will eventually get to the bottom of it, while the corporate media go along with whatever propaganda narrative they're given.
False Flag term is misapplied.
I see where you are going though.
Ruse. Hoax. Corp on Corp warfare all work, too.
So does just good ol' black hat hackers, smarting for payback, from pirate bay
Could be they just got hacked by....a hacker...and not...a Nation.
Could be Camacho's Crew is just applying the trusty "waste not want not" principle, re: crisis, as they always do?
This whole NK hacking BS is about gaining control of the internet by the gubment. You know we must control it to save you bit.
Who really gives a shit about Hollywood anyway? Bunch of fucksticks pretending to be someone or something else.
But, but..... but, they give each other awards to make themselves important....
Because of the hacking and stealing of personal data, the trashing of the companies storage. It is the first time that such huge damage has been done to a company's IT network, and the reason it was done was because of this movie.
.
Hilarious sarcasm, and the deadpan delivery was perfect.
+1
Exactly RockRiver, Pineapple Express was a movie made by these guys about a big weed growing operation ran from an old secret military bunker....no one went apeshit over that movie. This is all just made up bullshit, not sure what's behind it but it stinks.
The whole thing is a scam. I was over on a few conservative sites telling people it is all bullshit and a scam to probably pass more laws to take away what few freedums we have left.
People are so stupid.
For the same reason that John Corzine sits on a beach while you will get 5 years and a $250,000.00 fine for ripping a dvd.
Movies are serious business.
North Korea apparently. Because Kim Jung Un is kind of insecure about his clout as a dictator in the global political arena.
If they did it
And they were us
we distracted some folks.
The Negro is ruining the White house. Anyone see the irony here?
I stand by my labelling of this as the ( non sexually ) gayest false flag in modern history.
> gayest false flag in modern history.
not that there's anything wrong with that...
BS> Sony Pictures has a long history of releasing unfunny films.
Hollywood in general has a history of producing movies only Americans think are funny. This is likely to be another American bozo.
Zollywood and TV are for retards.
"Show business is an extension of the jewish religion"
John Lennon
but Sony already spent all the money to make it... how is canceling it doing them a favor? They're just guaranteeing their loss by not releaseing it.. I personally think it would have been a Holiday hit...
One of my first thoughts on this was, "stupid movie needs publicity."
People will now rush to see it because it's "controversial"
Agree, these are "sunk costs" other than upcoming promotion. I guess it is now ok to manufacture a false flag to avoid corporate embarassment?
What's next?
+100
The movie was probably tested in 2 or 3 cities and people probably walked out and said it was total shit.
Alien was the best and is still a masterpiece. People running out of the theater screaming and fainting during one of the tests.
At least they got their money's worth............
What about Alien with Yellen as the larval dropping Queen Alien? Love that flame thrower action! Then cast the bitch adrift in space!
Agreed, Alien was a masterpiece, as was the second one.
The test theatres for Alien also had to have a cleaning crew after each and every showing because I am sure some people pissed in their seats during the movie.
YouTube has a good set of video of the making of Alien. Pretty amazing including Geiger's weird and scary art for the Alien. Dan O'Bannon wrote most of it and he was a nerdy guy. He saw Geiger's work and Ridley agreed with it, Geiger is a weird Swiss artist.
When they first showed it in Hollywood there were lines around the block. Dan O'Bannon drove around and around to get the courage to go in. He said when it started he just started crying. He was a small guy who got his shot.
Ridley talks about the film tests too. Classic. The film had amazing buzz but it delivered. Arguably, the best horror-sci fi movie ever made by far.
20th Century Fox was going crazy over the big sets especially the full size ship leg with the elevator. They had little kids in those space suits on that scene and two were Ridley's kids. John Hurt and the other passed out because they were so hot.
The actors on Alien and Blade Runner said the smoke was unbearable. One actor said it was like working in a coal mine. The actors also said the ship set of the Nostromo was incredible.
You really want to watch that peice of shit? Go for it.

False Gag
Jewish stocktake ?
How much terrorism insurance do they have ?
Was Larry Silverstein a major backer? "Pull it!!"
Who the hell is Seth Franco?
He drove "Pinapple Express" into the shithouse.
NONE of these Team Seth Rogan movies are very good at all, they're mildly entertaining slapstick like 3 Stooges at best, and everyone knows that, NO ONE ever believed Seth Rogan films were on the Academy Awards list.
*unless you are high
*even if you are high
If they tell you it's the NORKs then it has to be somebody else.
Just the premise sounds unfunny to me...
Cuts too close to reality, and the world ain't laughin'.
I think it's time Barry unfreinded Kim Jong Un and shuts down his Netflix account.
Nefarious, I know, but sometimes you are forced to take strong action.
And take Netflix's last customer?
That's just mean.
I agree. How is a CIA assassination plot funny? More bad PR for CIA and US. Just really poor timing and very poor taste.
CIA murder plots ARE funny because most of them fail due to ineptness.
Castro's poisoned cigars? Nitrous in his scuba tanks?
Pure comedy gold.
Antimimetic. The must be a cartoon somewhere with that idea
well now that you put it that way, i guess it may be amusing for some. maybe i'm just in a sour mood lately, with the fed ramp-a-thon and all.
Douche James Franco is in it. enuf said.
He is a terrible actor, I have no idea how he keeps landing roles. He must give a mean blowjob.
Yeah, he blew his butt buddy Seth Rogan to get the job.
I stopped watching Hollywood shit years ago. I think a relative had Spiderman playing when I was over at their house. I wonder why this f**king kid was so irritating. I looked up his wiki and his grandma is tribe. it all made sense.
Sony and Langley created a movie that could provoke some fake outrage from North Korea. The movie would have flopped, but now everybody will want to see what the stink is about so it will end up doing well. In the mean time the CIA will have their boogie man. Everybody wins.... except North Korea and the American people.
And now we have this headline on Drudge:
DIA: North Korea Planned Attacks on US Nuclear Plantshttp://freebeacon.com/national-security/dia-north-korea-planned-attacks-...
See where this is going?
Yep, I see where it's going. Everyone gets it in their heads that north k did it with the sony hacking, even though they have provided no evidence. We are just supposed to take their word for it, since they have been so honest in the past....... But, now that the public has it in their heads that these malicious little hermits are attacking us, any grid down type thing will be bough hook, line and sinker by the hopelessly stupid citizens of this country.
Everybody get's North Korea in their heads. 90% of the population has no fucking clue North Korea exists.
From my post on another thread more relevant here:
Was more fun over on Fox.
They've been beating the North Korea 3l33t H@X0r H0@X all fucking morning and reinforcing the synthesis solution that MOAR gov. Controls on the Internet will save us and that security/liberty is a prudent exchange.
Still have the dry heaves. How quickly everyone forget the Obamacare website clusterfuck coupled with the fact that every independent Internet sec pro is saying the one software call back to N Korea was likely an artifact or a red herring in a recycled malware script.
Net is that they are saying the same .gov that likely originated the hack is the one that is going to protect us.
Right.
This cyber sec pro also stated that his bet was inside job @ Sony.
The budget for this film was at least 2x the NorK's GDP.
would have flopped overseas
so they're saying Mericans are just stoopid and would like this shit?
Americans see movies soley because of who is in them, even if the movie is trash. This doesn't work overseas.
Bit like that "comic genius" Robin Williams. Funny if you think watching someone having a nervous breakdown is funny.
People the world over judge the US by what Hollywood releases. Having lived overseas for a while, I got used to people thinking I was either German or Russian because I wasn't completely stupid from the beginning. It took them a while of knowing me to find out I was stupid, just not in the ways they expected...
Thank you. That made me laugh out loud. Upvoted!
Ha Ha! Most of the time in Europe people thought I was Canadian and one couple thought I was Affrikaner from S Africa. One person thought I was Danish. I did not dress like a slob and was not loud and obnoxious.
Many times I have cringed watching the way Americans behave overseas. I told one guy once to stop it.
I was always a guest in their country, so I was never rude.
I lived in France. Walked into a Chinese restaurant around the corner from our apartment and heard two American girls talking about all the shit they had been doing with local French guys. Got my order to take home, stopped by their table and said, "You know, like 95-98% of the people here in Paris speak English. They understand every word you are saying, and you are embarrassing the hell out of the U.S." Didn't stay for the reaction, but I'm sure the looks were priceless.
You are being overly optimistic. I'm sure the girls assumed that everyone understood them, and did not care. And that when you left they simply laughed and talked more loudly, without changing the topic. I don't think they give a crap about the "moralistic old dude" view of the world; living in a way that conforms to it will not get them anything they want. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I would want to have to listen to that sort of thing from the next table.
I would be looking at Sony's competitors instead of or in addition to NK.
The emails are pretty meaningless. Execs seriously don't know anything about music or film or comedy. I bet George Lucas thought his last 3 Star Wars movies were awesome even though they sucked. Those same people say Anchorman sucked even though it's one of the greatest movies of this century so far.
This movie probably does suck, but I wouldn't base that assumption on anything studio execs say.
Exactly, since when do economists and Wall St analcysts declare movies a success or flop, BEFORE fucking release? Lots of movies no one thought would go anywhere were very successful and many Hollywood huge budget Blockbusters were total flops.
@SheepDog Economists don't much care but Wall St. execs involved with the big Hollywood studios will always wager on success or flop of a movie before its release. How the fuck do you think the studios get enough money to make the fucking crap in the first place?
Seriously you thought I don't know movies get funding? My point was, no one declares movies will be a hit or a flop before their release, certainly not eggheads in the gubmint, ever before.
I'm sorry but that retard Will Ferrell is about as funny as Miley Cyrus is sexy.
Word.
Tired, worn out, depleted. comics of today lack any depth.
That's why they go the way of Robin or Farley.
Neither made me laugh. Ever. I sense sick desperation and there's nothing funny about it.
One gag pony hacks.
Chapelle knew the deal. Smart one of the bunch. He didn't let them play him out like Elvis dying on a toilet.
The only guy who was allowed to tell the truth in a medieval court was... The Court Jester! Any one else made fun of the King, off with their head. If the Jester did it, and provided it was funny, it was OK.
But comics today... They know what they're not supposed to say... And then they DON'T say it. Colbert, Jon Stewart, for e.g.
I say Anchorman sucked because it did. Self evident.
I'm not a Sony exec or tribe.
I heard a commentator on Fox last night mention because Sony cancelled the film before release, they may be entitled to insurance proceeds (that would not be available had the movie already been released.)
like whoa dammit said, "Pull it!"
We should reimburse Sony for their loss.
Come on! We've got to have a new war somewhere! Ukraine, Syria, Iran, N.Korea, anywhere will do and we need it fast before the sht hits the fan and the muppets are left with only corrput incompetent leadership to blame.
US regulators label MetLife as potential financial threat
NO!?!? Not Peanuts!?!?!
Snoopy?!?! Say it ain't so!
Ok so why would anyone bother to invent a conspiricy about a daft movie that has been hacked by a fucking genocidal mongoloid?
$150 million in insurance money? The movie was deadbeat and was going to bomb. They supposedly will reinsure stupidity in Hollywood.
What are the odds this movie was produced by USAID/State Dept to make the North Koreans think their leader is a total loser? They spared no expense in creating a fake Twitter to infultrate Cuba. Cuba isn't the only country the State Dept is covertly trying to influence with U.S. tax dollars.
Franco and Rogen are overrated as comedians. Their films are for dilittante cokeheads and frat boys.
Whoa there. Are you implying they are comedians? I thought they were just really awful Bruce Campbell wannabes.
Same guys made 'Pineapple Express' which I'm sure they would have deemed 'a certain flop' before release but which has become a 'cult classic' today.....these guys know nothing and are now 'concern trolling', that's all.
"Shadow CIA" Stratfor: Ukraine Coup is US Revenge Against Russia for Syria
We knew that. Syria was the first time anyone stood up to the USA ina long time. Their would have been a sea battle and the USA would have lost 4 ships and the Russian probably 2. An off target missile would have also taken out the US/Uk listening base on Cyrpus.
The Russians did not backdown. Stratfor is NWO BS.
Jooze did it.
This is a test of the emergency propaganda machine. This is only a test.

Wackoism. Anybody who thinks that a "conspiracy" makes the slightest bit of sense clearly doesn't understand the economics involved.
Sony lost much more through this event than they could ever have lost through a commercial failure of the movie.
Anybody who's dumb enough to believe in a conspiracy here is dumb enough to believe Russian state propaganda. Oh, wait..... never mind.
You might be right. What if Hollywood made a movie about you (Haywood2) having sex with your male cat? We can run the news on Haywood2 undergoing anal rupture, the cat attacked you. You now become the victim.

Seems like if this was Sony false flag they would have not included embarassing CEO emails or pay data showing how all the other top earners are white men .... could have sold the hack as real without hurting themselves like that.
best summarization ever:
"And now, due to what appears the most convoluted false flag affair in US history, it may be time to nuke North Korea for depriving the US public from its [G]od-given right of seeing straight-to-DVD flops."
all this fuss is just a PR stunt
I don't think it's very funny in general to parade comedians as undercover CIA assassins. We should not subliminally be accepting these war - like acts of the CIA.
In fact, let's just ban ALL movies not made by The State Dept!
ONWARD, Soviet!
Why not?
We accept their real war-like acts every day along with their off-the-shelf mercs they hire.
Nice how they snuck China in there. Waiting on the Russian angle soon.
Russian hackers in NORK using Chinese servers...
Perhaps Sony could make a comiedy about Al-Baghdadi and his 72 bitches in Raqqa catching herpes. Bound to be another hit for Sony's IT department.
My first though after seeing the previews was Sony pulled it not for the content but because it sucked. How many times can you play essentially the same character, before people figure it out. Then again Vince Vaughn has somehow made a living playing the same one dimensional guy for 20 years.
Add Adam Sandler to that list. He's about as funny as a wet sponge.
Not sure but maybe there is some kind of insurance if it cannot be released ala Silverstein and WTC.

Besides we've already been told by John what will happen if ourselves and Israel set up a pretext with a few tactical nukes going off in Western Europe! We've been told that will be the end of us if that should take place! Plus the fact we know who will be fighting this one either way!
What the fuck?!!! Moar short!!!
"The evidence indicates the SONY hack was done by disgruntled ex-employees of SONY itself. Yet the White House has hastily put together a frame-up of North Korea, and unlike the Benghazi attack, the movie that is supposed to be the root cause of it all actually does exist.
So what is going on?
One possibility is that SONY will reverse its decision (under covert pressure from the White House) and go ahead with the Christmas Day release of "The Interview." This will be followed by multiple bombings of movie theaters across America. Just like 9-11, this will be "justification" for war against the "attacker", which we are being assured is North Korea. War with North Korea opens the door to war with China and through China, Russia, all to protect the paper dollar from the Ruble and the Yuan. Millions will die and the world will go back to being enslaved to the private central bankers for another hundred years." -Mike Rivero WhatReallyHappened.com

Again, some heavy hitters are saying there was very likely inside help within Sony. It's real sloppy looking.
And there was tribe collateral damage. Not that they wouldn't burn a few underlings for a bigger goal, I get that. Just too many ways to work angles off this.
I just think it could be more simple in its inception and the .gov piled on after the fact.
Whatever the case it really looks cartoonish overall. I'm shocked it's playing.

Don't start none won't be none.
Uh, no duh. We saw the trailer in a movie theater a few weeks ago. Looked horrible. Wasn't funny. The hackers gave all of us an early Christmas present.
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if The Interview didn't pull in more money than Lord of the Rings in DVD sales after this teapot tempest dies down. Like they say, there is no bad publicity. Hey! Come to think of it, this could have been the whole idea all along! hmmm... Another major p.r. conspiracy fer shurr! Boy, oh boy, this geopolitics stuff is more convoluted than I thought.
Just use CGI to change the Korean leader into Putin!
I'm guessing more of an insurance fraud kind of scenario. I would guess Sony takes out insurance on every picture, for actors dying while shooting, unexpected-natural events that prevent the picture from being completed or making it to theaters to recoup the costs of production. It would be interesting to know 1) if there is actually any insurance on their movies and 2) if there is a terrorism clause. /remove-tinfoil-hat.
I can believe that Sony might want to boost the film's chances with a publicicity stunt but not one that went as far as this. I am also inclined to doubt that North Korea would worry that much about a movie.
So what about South Korea? Would this not be a good way to keep those US taxpayer dollars being spent there? And Samsung has been the victim of some rather expensive California lawsuits accusing it of infringing on Apple's patents. Silicon Valley may not be Hollywood but it's pretty close. What better (and perhaps deserving) way to get revenge on behalf of one of South Korea's biggest companies?
Why would it be better to cancel the movie when all the money has already been spent to create it?
releasing/promoting a movie cost money, in many cases the hype cost more than the movie, if they go straight to video they ditch all the release hype costs, there's limited release space and time, bad empty theater movies take away from good full theater movies.
Plus there's the legal peril not to terrorist acts but to hackers, how confident are the theater chains in their ticket transaction processing, my guess is they're as secure as Home Depot and Target and Walmart and.......
The Christmas day movie crowd is all Jewish lawyer too, they'll sue if they get their CC data hacked for sure.

PRK Hackers may have pulled this off. Could have been others. Threats could have been made by racketeers for the hype - and/or as a cover up "Wag the Dog" storyline to bury the Movie as a victim rather than a failure.
I have taken so much shit for calling this what it is, Sonys mother of a False flag, insurance fraud scam.
I figured this angle out several days ago. It all adds up. Redacted emails, movie insurance coverage, insurance coverage for employees for "ID" hacks, cyber attack rider clauses...
The math is third grade level here boys!
Hilarious article! As they say in Hollywood: any press is good press, even bad press. I guarantee if they release this movie (after nuking North Korea) it will become a cult classic, breaking box office records.
