    That looks really good. Will check it out later.

    As a fellow NK junkie, I recently finished this book written by a high-level person who defected:

    Solon recommended it a few weeks ago. Fascinating story. This guy is actually featured in the Frontline video above starting at about 11:00.

    If I do, will I get hacked?

    It will be fun when we look back at the "WMD" of cyber attacks a few years from now; can't wait for the movie.

    Sony had a file called "user passwords.xls" on their network. lol. high probability former employee used it for hack or sold it. not hard to mask IP to NK. Morans.

    The movie was funny at times, but generally ridiculous and dumb. It did get the fireworks song stuck in my head all day so that was good.

    Rogan bugs the shit out of me. The movie wasn't good but I enjoyed it for the novelty aspect.

    That's what makes this so intriguing. Sony worked with NK to do the hack in order to raise the profile and viewership for a horrible movie. Amazing marketing scheme.

    No. It's pretty much exactly what I thought it would be. It was funny in a few spots and met but didn't exceed my very low expectations.

    I have a nice setup at my house- hd projector, sound system, the works. It's nice to watch stuff and play video games, but I think it would take the fun out of say- the new Star Wars if I could just d/l it on a certain day and watch it. I want that in IMAX or something, and I'll pay to see it that way. Maybe that's nostalgia talking, but I don't think so. I think it is more fun to see movies at the theatre where I can give the material the attention it deserves.
    Plus watching a movie at a packed theater on opening weekend is just a fun experience. That's not going away anytime soon for a handful of blockbuster type movies. Although I certainly agree with the general premise that the movie industry needs to continue to adapt to changing times or it will go extinct.

    As God is my witness, I dictated that using voice dictation on my iPhone. I would never make a mistake like that!
