I'm shocked that he shows his face and identifies himself willingly

I worked with him briefly on another project and he was pretty comfy and open about the whole thing. In fact I think I remember him mentioning doing a talk at a conference about it. He's a genuinely nice guy and fairly laid back about things. NK regime maybe is annoyed with him, but there is an almost zero probability of them being able to do anything other than digital harrassment to him.

Considering they have performed assassinations outside of their soil, I would be slightly concerned.

They assassinated a potential rival for the throne. The situations are not even remotely similar.

Killing a US citizen on US soil would not go down well.

India killed a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil... What exactly would the US do to North Korea that we haven't done already?

The film The Interview was released in 2014. Ten years later, Seth Rogen and James Franco are still alive.

> North Korean state media threatened "merciless" retaliation for his depiction in the film. Seth Rogen responded, "People don't usually wanna kill me for one of my movies until after they've paid 12 bucks for it."

Where is the merciless retaliation? Keep in mind this film has a graphic scene where Kim Jong Un dies…

Big "lifelock" vibes...and if I understand it correctly, that lifelock character has had his identity successfully stolen and impacted multiple times.

Sometimes the person who says "I'm really smart, like mensa level", does some really ignorant and stupid things.

Sometimes you're also just hoping to find someone or something out there that interests you.
