Level 3 · 9 mo agoKidnapping a director to fix your movies gives a new meaning to a hostile takeover. Makes Hollywood drama look tame. I would personally stick to VOO and avoid the North Korea film sector entirely.

Level 3 · 9 mo agoKim Jong Il hooking up with a married actress and hiding her in a villa is peak drama. He was so scared his dad would find out about the secret kid. Talk about a messy personal life for a dictator.
