Sony canceling the release of The Interview

Brad said:
Just watched it. If you like their other movies, This is The End, Superbad, etc.; you'll love this. I truly enjoyed it. I'll probably end up writing more about it somewhere else every soon, because I'm a loser and this is how I spend my Christmas break.

I liked "Superbad" a ton but "This Is The End" wasn't very good.
 
i heard it's available on playstation & watch it online and at certain movie theaters... myself, im not going to see that movie. it's probably terrible anyway =P. imo, if we all know that the leader of north korea is crazy...why make a movie trying to kill him?
 
Sony was really stupid to believe North Korea's threats, they can't nuke every theatre in the US that shows this, their own missiles can't even leave North Korea without falling apart in mid air
The worst they can do is have spies blow up the Sony building like they did in Burma 1983 (look it up)

nork intelligence agents have carried out assassinations/kidnappings in foreign countries before
 
It looks incredibly bad and racist. I don't understand how it wasn't scrapped immediately, but at the same time I do because the entertainment industry is full of awful people.
 
I mean Sony has enough problems lately--first all this crap plus the ****storm from the 'lizard squad'.
 
I'm personally glad they pulled that movie from the theaters. While the U.S. has freedom of speech, that has nothing to do with this. It's fiction. While it may be fictional, many people will be offended by it or will feel like it's just not right. What if they meant everything they said? They COULD. I think that America just doesn't want to risk American lives for something as stupid as a movie.

i'm ~offended at the fact that this "parody" didn't do anything worthwhile in actually portraying the real problems inside north korea but instead spent millions on crude juvenile jokes that undermines the issues the people living there face. its so superficial like yeah we get it kim jong un is incredibly easy to poke fun at, what else do you have.

I honestly don't know what you expected from this movie. Like what did you think they would do? Jokes about starving people? Of course it would be focused on jokes around Kim Jong Un jfc.

please go watch The Great Dictator
or at least watch a clip of it because there's certainly a way of satiring real world issues effectively in an intelligent manner 'jfc'
man, to think this is why people don't expect much from hollywood anymore. maybe we're just lowering our expectations lol.

i actually agree with this. satirical comedies like this treat and portray the issue as a joke, when in reality we're dealing with probably the most oppressive and brutal regimes in the world. most ppl who knew nothing about nork would probably walk away the movie thinking it was just about some fat naughty kid who thinks he's a god.
 
Personally, I wouldn't even try to make fun of such a delicate issue. There are so many terrible things people in North Korea have to face, yet the film just looks like it makes fun of Kim Jong Un the whole time, ignoring the other issues. At least, from what I've seen of it anyway.

Some Americans are saying that North Koreans are just being crybabies and it's none of their business, but I'm sure that if North Korea made a film about assassinating Obama, you'd feel differently about it.
