To be totally honest about this "Kill North Korea's dictator" movie...

I don't give a shit about it. Period.

From the previews and press, it sounds like the "humor" comes from some asshole saying it's supposed to be "funny."

Oh, it's Seth Rogan (Rogen?).

When is someone going to finally tell him he just is *NOT* funny?

Many of us find his art to be hilarious.

And The Interview looked to be pretty goddamn funny from here under all the high horses.

...in a special edition with a Kim Jong Un 3D "bop bag" (remember Bozo?), with a portion of proceeds going to some South Korean humanitarian aid charity.

Although it does look like it's going to be really cheesy. I probably won't go see it, but the trailer made me laugh.

we have truly become a complete culture of cowards.

We let some two bit dictator frighten us to pulling a movie?

Only in a country so scared of its own shadow our police indiscriminately kill young black men for walking down the street,

only in a country that drone bombs 28 innocent people for every terrorist killed because we're scared some guy 5,000 miles away in a remote village is going to destroy our country,

only in a country so afraid of people of color we utilize whatever means necessary to keep them from having a political voice,

only in a country so afraid of women we try to take charge of their bodies / personal lives to keep them from reaching for the stars on the path of THEIR choosing,

only in a country so afraid of protesters, we gas them, arrest them and do ANYTHING NECESSARY to get them off the streets.

only in a country so afraid of the 1%, we can't cobble enough support to figure out how to fix our roads, bridges, feed our poor, help the sick.

Lol, we've been reduced to panicked freaks with some damned big weapons! The rest of the world probably looks at us like a psycopath with an oozi at the state fair...

Sony itself, in a stunt dreamed up by Rogan staged this whole "North Korea is picking on us."

Think it couldn't be?

Every singer is "terrible" to someone.
Every restaurant is "low grade dog food" to someone
Every store is "horrible" to someone

And now you are letting us know who is funny.

I love the DU experts.

Got my son into it too. Matter of fact, I texted him the other day when we were getting hit with the big storm and asked how it was going down the coast where he's at school. He replied: "I don't think the heavy stuff's gonna come down for quite a while".
