    Saw this on Yahoo, thought it was funny. The woman who blasts Jolie in the emails had a run-in with her at some public event (sounds like it was one of those events where people in Hollywood get together to congratulate themselves).

    Angelina does not look amused.

    This is what she had said about Jolie in the emails:

    Why are people refusing to acknowledge that this stems from the upcoming release of The Interview?

    It's highly possible. You don't think North Korea has hackers?

    You don't see any other motion picture companies getting hacked and having their internal emails released -- do you?

    This is definitely causing Sony some issues, with that said publicity is publicity so maybe they're benefiting from this in a way. I'm sure Angelina Jolie isn't a fan at this point. Kevin Hart probably isn't either. :)

    I don't know man. It just seems too simple. Like a plot as poorly written as The Interview. After their missile tests I imagine north Korean hackers to be as sophisticated as Seth Rogan and James Franco crawling around on a mattress.

    Making a working missile is a lot more complex than hacking a computer. Who knows though, it may be entirely coincidental.

    I saw a news report on this . . .and they basically said
    If N Korea did not have the skillset. . . . the skillset is easily available on the open market

    While we worry about BLACKWATER type Mercenaries *****ing up our wars
    We now have Internet Mercenaries to worry about . . . . .

    Obviously North Korea had to hack into Sony so that Kim Jung Un could watch The Interview before it was released to determine if he should declare war on the US... fortunately rumors are he actually liked the flick and has been binge watching Seth Rogen movies for the past week.

    I don't see how any of the emails released are a big deal. They are executives, it's their job to discuss if a $160M movie about Cleopatra starring Brangelina is a good business decision. That might come with it candid opinions about the actors themselves. This is business, not celebrity ass-kiss land like the rest of us plebes live in.

    True
    But when your success depends on people like Brangelina
    It would be nice if they didn't think you were a complete *******
    because unlike the Plebes . . .. Brangelina has options

    Seth Rogen / James Franco movie about 2 people going undercover as journalists to interview King Jong Un. This is of course so they can assassinate him.

    DPRK has threatened war if the movie is released.

    Ha, I hadn't heard that they were pissed about it. That's great.

    I'm pretty sure it was the male producer (Rudin?) who was blasting Jolie in the emails.

    The quote I provided was from Amy Pascal. It's at the link I provided.
