Banned in Pyongyang
“The Interview,” the comedy that isn’t getting any laughs in North Korea, opens today at theaters in Stanwood and Oak Harbor, a few days after Sony Entertainment reversed a decision to shelve the picture after a hacking attack (A&E, Page 6).
Reviews indicate the movie contains some funny stuff, which includes an exploding version of Kim Jong-un’s bowl haircut.
Shutterbugs need protection from themselves: Today’s top-shelf smartphones like the iPhone 6 boast cameras that are better than most point-and-shoot picture-takers, a technology reviewer says (Page A10).
But if the phone cameras were really smart, they would automatically remove telephone poles protruding from heads, or stop folks from posting embarrassing snapshots on Facebook.
Splitting the sheets: Clint Eastwood and his wife of 18 years have finalized their divorce (Short Takes, Page D6).
The former Mrs. Eastwood filed for divorce in 2013, citing irreconcilable differences, which in this case apparently meant the film icon no longer made her day.
