So, Sony is going to release The Interview now?

[NightWatcher]

I guess we're not scared of Kim Jong Un anymore??? Or is it that the media hype has died down?

1. This has been turned into the mother of all marketing ploys.

BRAVO, Sony, you will make a ton more on this film than you ever dreamed. Hell, it might even win an Academy Award!

4. Now all the pretentious folks who

prefer movies about paint drying in Tibet will come to tell us how shitty this movie is and expect our admiration for their refined taste.

We will also hear nauseating rants from the "why do we have to be so provocative" crowd about how awful the U.S. is for bullying such a kind regime.

6. It is amazing how many DUers think they are more talented than Seth Rogen and Jame Franco. nt

9. Because they're more talented, I should change my tastes?

[snooper2]

10. Well, we do have some really creative writers here-

Look at the pro-pootie threads and the twist and turns those posts take!

12. Now you did it.

Someone will have to put down their latte and Chomsky book to scold you.

11. It is amazing that such a sophomoric film can cause such a controversy.

I recall a film not so long ago, that was far more worthy of such controversy. It reflected the lives of two living dictators, as well as the struggle of humanity under their despotic rule. It firmly laid the horrors at the feet of those dictators, not pulling any punch in the brutal daily existence these poor people had to live through. It was raw, and full of emotion. The tale is told from the protagonists point of view and their struggle to rid the world of these evil dictatorships.

There were points in the film where the director very carefully showed the softer side of the the despot and allowed the viewers a brief glimpse into the internal struggles that they feel. It was done to the point where you do not feel sympathy for the despotic character, however you do feel sorrow for their lost humanity.

From the onset of the movie you are thrust into an uncut and unapologetic view into the brutality and vulgar nature of these countries. The seemingly endless measure to which the despotic characters will go to solidify their rule. Meanwhile the despot's private life are given view, in how they oppose their public life. The love interest is tastefully done, and shows the softer side of such a terrible man, however when provoked his unrelenting passion is far from satiable.

I'd highly recommend the movie if one truly wishes to see a controversial film.

Always been a fan of Seth Rogen and James Franco. One of my favorite movies was Pineapple Express
