They want the monies, Lebowski, and they want it no; Millenialls have zero appreciation for the cold war era.  There is no fear of commies, unless the commies choke-off the entertainment channels.

I had been wondering what happened to that movie. MGM got into financial deep doo doo, so it fell off the radar screen.
 
I guess they might have secured some Chinese investors or something, because the idea of North Korea projecting power outside its borders is so ludicrous as to be beyond the pale.

It truly takes what is already a pretty farcical concept (foreign invasion of America by *any* military force) that still could have held some simple entertainment value (a la the original "Red Dawn") and turns it into something so utterly absurd as to almost assuredly prevent me from suspending disbelief sufficient to even want to pay $1 to rent it from a Red Box.

In an unrelated news, I've heard that some people are working to expand ADA cover and shift the responsibility of disproof to employers. Many would be interested in what would be your thoughts on that?

 I still firmly believe that ADA was one of the worst pieces of legislation ever, and anything which isn't outright repeal is a bad idea.
 
If  a do gooder decided that we needed to help out the handicapped, then the government should have been footing the bill for all the requirements. Shifting the onus to private individuals was and is BS.
