My jaw dropped at this point. It's more like "fuck being a well-rounded person". Or fuck understanding references that educated people make in everyday life.

Noone else is saying this for some reason but: It's hilarious that this movie is going to be historic despite it being so shitty (probably). (In true HN fashion this is where I would write "Full Disclosure: I work for the DPRK, bu
