Where is Dennis Rodman throughout all this?

Yeah, that would make an excellent 80's made for TV movie.

Isn't getting hacked by North Korea JV league? Or are they that good.

I thought the news said the NK govt was involved but the actual hacker was outside their country.

I have no issues with the movie. I do have issues with Kim Jong-un. That Sony is bowing to whatever pressures they feel is silly, no sick. Kim doesn't deserve that much respect.

got to take a bit of abuse if you want to dish it out...

You're absolutely right. But it seems humor is a archaic concept in the modern world. If you can't laugh, and laugh at yourself, what the heck is the fun of being alive?

Rumania, iirc.

That one was the last one I remember too, but that's been almost 25 years. It is possibly the longest stretch of time in modern (and not so modern) history that people have not risen up and killed their dictator.
Wow the human race is really evolving...

PRC, Communism/capitalism. N. Korea, communism/ tyranny.
There's more to it than just that. Otherwise, Capitalism does just fine coupled with fascism as in Russia, as well as with socialism as practiced in North Western Europe.

I think Communism and Capitalism exist great together. Isn't China Communist? And didn't the US just warm up to some Communist neighbor down south?
(which i am completely in favor of, imagine the market of 1950's vintage equipment that has been kept in Cuba for the last 60 years. It is probably in great condition.)

There is no WORLD LEADER in N.Korea just a petty functionary with little man syndrome.

These may be frankencars underneath the vintage exteriors, kept on the road by whatever parts and components necessary and available locally. They will probably stay as historical and cultural icons of a pivotal era.

I think t's rude and idiotic to make a movie about killing a living world leader. But then also **** that guy.

My sentiments exactly! Great post. :banana:

Aaaand surprised this thread stayed open this long.

I was about to write that maybe US hackers should go after a NK corporation, but then I realized they probably don't have computers there, so it was a wasted thought.

Ahhh, but think of tube gear... I bet the Cuban's have an easier job at getting Soviet era tubes than others in the West.

I bet the NAPA, CarQuest and Federated rights for the island are going to be worth a fortune. They're the best among the big auto parts stores for carrying vintage parts...and Cuba's going to be an enormous market for them.

We've probably bought the bulk of them here in the United States.

I thought it HILARIOUS a couple years' back when Kim Yuck Foo, Jr, took HIS Celestial Dirt Nap, the BEST the Norks could do was to send him off to Nork Valhalla in a late Seventies Lincoln...They couldn't even talk the Chicoms into sending one of THEIR big-shot limos...I remember what O.C. or Stiggs said about the 1975-79 Lincolns in "The Incredible, Utterly Monstrous, Mind-Roasting Summer of O,C. & Stiggs"-"What a Huge, Draconian Eyesore"... (grin)
