so who has seen "the Interview," already?

7 out of 10 worth 6 dollars imo.

Couldn't get my YOUTube TV app or the TV browser to play it, had to watch on PC so that kind of sucked, I hate that watching movies on the PC.

u need to join us in the future and throw you together a nice little HTPC (prefferably a linux box, so quick, so versatile, so simplistic and powerful)

(just a playful jab)

I watched it last night and I am not a fan. I really don't understand the enthusiasm for these Rogen/Franco vehicles - I just don't find them funny. I don't think I laughed a single time.

I believe it's this generations equivalent of Adam Sandler movies.

Were you talking about the original candid camera series? Or was that from a different generation? This movie was pure slap stick, right up your generations alley

The original Candid Camera put effort into putting people into humorous situations - situations the people often find amusing as well. They didn't just randomly run up to people on the street and act like jackasses.

HTPCs are in the past. Just got rid of mine. Easily replaced with a Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, Xbox One or PS4. Way less hassle with those than an actual PC.

wife and I watched it last night. if I was being honest it was much better than I expected. That isn't to say it was a good movie, but it definitely wasn't bad. Momma generally dislikes these types of stupid humor movies and she laughed 3x times, so she would say "it wasn't the worst movie I have seen"

I'd give it like 2.5 stars... I would watch it again

I personally use Chromecast. Now with their screencast all I need is my phone or tablet.

I noticed a few of the little'uns at work are using some of the phrases from the movie.

They hate us cause they anus

Come on, people, this isn't junior high...

It was way more entertaining reading Clancy's/Mark Greaney's "Full Force and Effect" involving DPRK leader's lust for ICBMs.

Not endorsing, just say'in.

Not me.

It didn't interest me before the hoopla. Still doesn't.

And no, nobody 'wants' NK.

Put the pipe down man.
No one wants North Korea. It's a festering shit hole of fear and poverty.

This, exactly.

Anyone who looks at a map for longer then 30 seconds will see why China would not want a US-friendly nation like South Korea share a border that close to Beijing.

i thought it was funny. Clearly targeting the tit and dick joke demographic though. For those thinking they didnt slander kim enough....they were probably fairly spot on about it. Hitler was a charming and loveable person with a ferocious dark side. Kim may also suffer the same personality as other megalomaniacs(not sure if hats rght term). Just look at his relationship with dennis rodman. Rodman gushed over him and still does.

not to derail here...but China owes its power to the USA consumer. Withouht the Consumer, china is a land filled with shity plastic trinkets. If americans just went one pros
duction cycle withou buying chinese shit we dont NEED....the yuan would crumble faster and harder then the dollar would from americans losing chinese/american joint partnership

I got this movie from vudu. Its available. Big mistake. Waste of $15.
I tried to watch this 5 times now and have never made it thru.
I either fell asleep, or became distracted, phone call, knock at the door, dog wanting a walk, and never returned to the film.
And I couldn't quite put my finger on exactly why this film was such a dud.
Then I realized why, the team of Franco and Rogen were the problem.
Watching them try to play off each other, like some new version of Abbot & Costello or Martin and Lewis or Bob and Ray, just totally fails big time.
These two guys individually are not that funny, so so at best, but as a team they are absolutely terrible.

Their humor is not witty, not compatible, not entertaining at all to watch.
As a team working off each other, their humor is not even stupid funny.
It's just dud. Nothing. Empty. Yawn.

I suppose one of them or probably both had this seemingly great idea to act as a comedy team. Make movies under that pretense, and join the greats like Abbot and Costello or Bob and Ray.
Dumb idea.
They may think they are funny, together, but not so.
First of all, neither one of the two really knows true comedy.
Let alone to act and react to each other as comedians. As a team.
No comedy team there.
Just two guys playing around leaving the audence bored and uninterested.

And that is why this movie indeed sucks.
The comedy team of Franco and Rogen may serve the definition as a team, but fails when it comes to the definition of comedy.

Some things just are not meant to be guys. Sorry.
Stick to the day job....

Your review is in line with I'd heard previously.

For once sounds like Kim was trying to do us a favor.
