The Interview: A Movie Review

Thank You, North Korea!

Unswerving in their determination to release The Interview, Sony Pictures decided in the interest of public safety to only release it through Netflix.

This was because North Korea threatened to blow up theaters full of people who paid good money to watch the movie.

North Korea did us all a favor.  Theaters full of people would have been messy, what with their puking and throwing stuff at the screen.  Blowing them up might have been merciful.  This is an awful picture.

Yes, your Ostrich Killer, ever curious and open-minded, watched this terrible and very badly put together send-up via the Netflix release.  Seldom, if ever, have I seen anything this junior-high level amateurish, this badly scripted and worse acted, this offensive and yes, even trite put up on a movie screen.  It looks like SNL might have mistakenly aired an unrehearsed spoof that didn't work.

I can't even properly describe how terrible this film is.  North Korea did the world a favor by keeping it out of theaters.  Clearly, they are better film critics than those getting paid by Sony Pictures.  Sony needs to tattoo a large red "TI" into the foreheads of the entire crew that proposed this picture in the first place, as well as their enabling conspirators, and then fire them, damning them to an eternity of wandering the back alleys of Hollywood looking for work but doomed to not finding any by the mark of the "TI"(for The Interview) in their foreheads.

So please join me in giving North Korea a big "Thank You" and a smiling thumbs-up.  Say "Amen."

There you go.  Now for another cup of coffee.
