I hope Sony makes a nice profit on it. Plus they were handed the sequel's plot on a silver platter…

When Richard J Daley tried to ban Mike Royko's book, Royko was thrilled. Nothing was better for book sales than somebody-- no less than the Mayor of Chicago, the "Boss" himself-- trying to ban it.

I think something similar could happen with this movie. Now, even if the movie isn't any good people will pay for it just because North Korea tried to ban it-- worldwide. It'll become a "must have" because "Freedom of the Press".

North Korea gets touchy and the US messes their broadband so the game continues. Mind you i will have to be cautious as I have to agree with President Obama when he mildly made a criticism of the company delaying the film in cinemas.

Kevin McCarthy, the fastest speaker of the House of Reps, quits Congress in the end of year. Some say that it's because Ghislaine snitched on him.

Steve Bannon predicts a constitutional crisis by summer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGKFJPbaFLc

Three takeaways:
1. The global geopolitical order is returning to the good old times of Treaty of Westphalia (1648)
2. The "constitutional crisis by summer" will be "a convergence of crises" where judges challenge Trump ever harder, but he will enforce the unitary executive principle
3. Interviewer: "What do you want to see from Trump in next 100 days?" Bannon: "Double down. More of that same."
