I'd totally see that on the big screen again.

If Un didn't feel like God he does now. What's stopping him from telling us exactly what to do now?

That got me thinking, they are definitely frightened about their emails being exposed. It's a well known rumor of the child sex trafficking that goes on by the hollywood elite and child actors. I can only assume, thats what these cowards are afraid of.

that was my thought process this morning. it would have to be something on taht level

The hackers would be smart to just release it anyway

This makes me think that the "Christmas Present" has some truly fricked up stuff, most likely criminal in nature, on some studio heads


The "Christmas Present" message only references Sony, right?

Doesn't explain why New Regency would scrap the Steve Carell movie or why Paramount won't let anyone show Team America.

Afraid of having their emails released too? Equally incriminating i would think.

a. Hollywood is incestuous in its relationships, so execs at those studios almost assuredly come from Sony

b. Hollywood has an in-group amongst those studios. if Sony is attacked, it's logical to assume Paramount and New Regency will be

At this time there is no evidence that anyone else has been hacked, right?

I've got to assume that everyone is watching their systems pretty closely right now.

We all know that freedom isn't free. No, there's a hefty fricking fee.

Has our government commented on any of this?

This is nothing more than a reflection of the American public which has proven to be absurdly over-scared of terrorism since 9-11. I'm sure most of you recall the prisons around the country that offered to house the Gitmo prisoners but were shouted down because, you know...DANGEROUS TERRORISTS!!!!

This just sets a bad precedent. Can you imagine when that HBO Scientology movie comes out? Consequences will never be the same.

From what I've seen, it's more of a reflection on studios not wanting to be involved in controversy and/or their information leaked in order to show one movie. It looks more like a loss vs gain thing to me.

Pussies don't like dicks, because pussies get fricked by dicks. But dicks also frick assholes: assholes who just want to shite on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can frick an a-hole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is: they frick too much or frick when it isn't appropriate — and it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes, pussies can be so full of shite that they become assholes themselves... because pussies are an inch and half away from arse holes. I don't know much about this crazy, crazy world, but I do know that if you don't let us frick this a-hole, we're going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shite!

Is this how the convo goes?:

Studio Exec: Seth...James, so glad you guys could conference in with us. Look, me and the other execs have been talking. We're a little concerned that our chatroom group messages about diddling with little boys might come out so could the both of you do us a solid and cancel all of your upcoming public appearances? Oh, I knew you guys would be good for it. Thanks. Ciou!

I found this part of the article interesting:
quote:

Meanwhile Evidence is mounting that perhaps North Korea itself is behind the Sony hacks an that the U.S. might officially point the finger later today. Although that doesn't lend much more credence to threats of terrorist considering the North Korea is pretty well known for spouting limp threats and launching missiles that can barely make it off the launchpad. There's nothing more embarrassing then bowing that. We've reached out to Paramount and several of the theaters involved for comment.
It looks like America might be standing up after all.
