Who’s Seen “The Interview?”

I'm going to try to watch it sometime in the next few days.  

In the meantime, critics are saying it's pretty awful, but whatever.  I mean, the movie has gotten so much free marketing at this point, it's bound to kick some butt.  Plus, I've never cared about critics anyway.  But if you do:

“Characterizing it as satire elevates the creative execution of the film's very silly faux assassination of North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un far beyond what it merits,” writes Betsy Sharkey in the Lost Angeles Times.

In the Village Voice, Stephanie Zacharek writes that “The Interview” is “contrived absurdity” and that it has very little payoff for all the trouble it caused.

Slate’s Aisha Harris argues that those looking for a satire of North Korea are better off re-watching “Team America: World Police,” the puppet movie created by the makers of “South Park” more than a decade ago.

I'll still see it, because I've never cared about what critics think.  For crying out loud, Mr. Daisy and I watched Hot Tub Time Machine for the 1,425th time last night.  And it probably wasn't North Korea anyway (I've been saying for weeks that those dudes are working over there on Commodore 64s…hello).  So whatever.

Plus, AMERICA.
