Having introduced the matter of North Korea, however, the film unfortunately does require some attention, if only to disabuse prospective viewers of any hope that it has any redeeming value. Notwithstanding the protections provided by the First Amendment, there is a valid question whether the assassination of any living head of state, no matter how heinous the individual or his regime, is suitable subject matter for a major studio motion picture. If one objects on moral grounds to any such depiction, it's hard to know where to direct one's concern. The Sony Corporation, not to mention the stars and originators of this film, are surely impervious to any objections raised from any quarter, even if Sony withheld release of the film for a few days in order to placate Kim Jung Un himself.

Maybe one a day, on average, there are probably stories that trigger a few more.
Freepers here posts from the Huffington Post more than daily
Thanks. I am seeing some really bad reviews from FRiends on here. I trust them (except their praise for American Carol) to give accurate details of the movie. What I may do is go to see “Unbroken” with family....I think it would be ok for the kids and then one day over the next week, my wife and I can watch it on the website for 6 bucks. That might be the best options.

I use the “Hitler Test” to answer that question. Or if I was a liberal, I’d use the “Bushitler Test”.
If it only saves one child, right?
1/2 of is is homo sex jokes.
WHY???????? Good Lord we are infiltrated by that all the time. James Franco and Seth are not even gay. I am sick of it.....UNLESS it is making fun of the gays. (LOL)...I know the answer.....can’t joke with that group.
BINGO
Definitely toilet humor. A lot of F-bombs and lots of references about anal.
A couple of things about the movie..1. The movie does denigrate Kim un and 2. Thinly veiled is a conservative message.
Cant say too much or else I would be a spoiler. And by the way, I don’t think Sony would be smart enough to make the hack a marketing ploy. I do think Sony will definitely make more money because of the hack.
Save money and watch it at home. Netflix will be showing it in a fee days. It’s not worth the 30 40 bucks at a theatre. Save that for American Sniper.
Do not expose your kids to this film.
Amen brother. I loved it. The guy who plays Kim Jong-un should get some kind of award for making the Nork scum look ridiculous.
Let me know how much money you’re willing to put on the line. This was an ATM movie, a sure break even down to the penny, everyone involved knew how much it would make. For your bet to be right, the studio put out five full length unreleased movies, most of which would gross more than The Interview, opened themselves to a billion dollar identity theft lawsuit, tens of millions in damages to future projects, and trash their internal network which still isn’t fully operational.
Payee can be the next Free path on from the state of Sony.

Your rights end where my feelings begin!
Ping.
I still wonder if this was nothing but marketing.
The promo should entice a person to see the movie, I wouldn’t pay the electricity to watch this thing, after seeing the preview.
Your wallet has been hacked by Sony.
I have no interest in seeing that movie and I am boycotting Sony. Not that I ever bought a product from them, but because they are letting that racist Al Sharpton tell them what movies they can make
Yeah, except the gif you posted covers the George W. Bush look-a-like president. This movie was the liberal’s political porn and was well known to be about the liberal’s hoped for assassination of Bush. And, not a word from anyone in the corrupt MSM denouncing this.
