Completely overlooked by the mainstream media is that this piece of crap is the "work" of two CANADIANS - not Americans.
Yes, writer-producers of THE INTERVIEW Seth Rogen and and Evan Goldberg are both Canadian. Look it up.
The ill-conceived concept of making a "comedy" film about assassinating a touchy world leader is a loser from the get-go. Why wouldn't North Korea or any country be outraged at the idea? It's offensive and inappropriate to say the least.
To make a documentary film detailing the countless failures of the communist regime and how it's hurt the country would have been a worthy endeavor but this stinker is not.
When North Korea threatened retaliation if the movie opened wide in the USA as planned, theater chains canceled the planned showings and SONY prudently withdrew the film.
Enter George look-at-me Clooney and the ever thin-skinned Obama who publicly criticized SONY PICTURES and foolishly goaded them into releasing it anyway. Obama wouldn't like it if some country made a film about doing him in - he can't even stand to be teased about his big ears, his extraordinary hypocrisy or his unending lies.
After the first few days in 340 theaters, the film had taken in less than 2 million dollars - a relative pittance in the world of show biz.
SONY will lose tens of millions on this mistake and their reputation may never fully recover.
