Didn't the remake get changed to North Koreans since the Chinese were upset?

Yeah.....via the magic of C.G.I.  It wasn't so terrible of a remake but it wasn't as good as the original.
I mean that sorta topic is really a "1980s" topic.   Plus they did it right the first time.

Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,

Hmm . . .

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-12-22/north-korea-undergoing-internet-outage-network-researcher-says.html

Quote
North Korea’s access to the Internet has been hit with outages and is offline today, according to a network-monitoring company, days after the U.S. government accused the country of hacking into Sony Corp.’s files.

North Korea, which has four official networks connecting the country to the Internet -- all of which route through China -- began experiencing intermittent problems yesterday and today went completely black, according to Doug Madory, director of Internet analysis at Dyn Research in Hanover, New Hampshire.

Could be a coincidence, I suppose.

Must be; any decent hacker group would have drained their bank accounts, subscribed Kim to every erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation mailing list and rerouted every UPS freight shipment in the world with a biohazard HazMat code to Pyongyang.

I don't think UPS goes to Pyongyang...Nor does DHL, nor Fedex, nor USPS.  Thanks for playing though.

Obama should offer to "help" them investigate this sad occurrence  ;)
Report to moderator   Logged
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Now that Sony Pictures has decided to release The Interview after all, it's one of the most popular streaming movies.


Best viral marketing campaign ever.

Not a great movie, but not bad. Up until the ending, I was wondering what NK was so upset over.
