It turns out that I don't mind this 24 marathon of A Christmas Story. I haven't say down long enough to watch the entire movie in one sitting, though. I stop what I'm doing to watch the Black Bart, tongue stuck to the pole and dinner at the Chinese restaurant scenes. They still make me laugh.

So Sony released The Interview on youtube for everybody to watch. Of course free. I think you have to be from the US though, but I'm sure there's an chrome app to skip that.

Edit: Sorry! You have to pay to see it. Dammit!

Yeah...... no. One time is still too many times for me. The movie is way too mean spirited, the jokes are mostly misses to me and I really don't like most (if any) of the characters.


Spoiler:The Black Bart scene is pretty entertaining and I get a kick out of the soap scene. But whatever.

Oh man! I forgot about the soap scene! I licked a bar once just to see how bad it is. Nasty!

I never thought 'A Christmas Story' was appealing. I never liked any of the characters, they were all unlikable and shallow. All that kid only cared about was getting that toy rifle gun(there should be an alternate ending where he gets a headshot to himself for the sake of dark comedy aspects for a good laugh from people who have to tolerate this kid). The soap scene would have been more funnier if the mother was pissed to the point where we actually see her shove it down the kid's throat to see him cough up bubbles.

Oh. And I need to get one of those leg lamps.

Forgot to mention, I watched Guardians of the Galaxy. It was sooooooo goooooood.

The Interview is stupid. That's all I really want to say. Sony pulled the movie on purpose.


Good thing I watched it for free.

Well, they sure didn't accidentally pull the movie.

I'll probably end up watching it at some point just to support digital releases of movies.

I have a theory that Sony made up the story of North Korea just to sell the movie. The movie is not good enough to sell tickets. The plot is not even offensive to Kim or North Korea that much. It's just a bad movie with a few funny parts. I would have seen Annie, Dumb and Dumber To, and Into The Woods before watching this.

Saw Dumb and Dumber To yesterday.

Didn't expect to laugh that much but I did. It's not that bad actually.

They wouldn't have released so much sensitive information, like e-mails, company secrets, etc.

Also, what were you expecting? It is a stoner film.

In my little home theater, watching the Bourne trilogy (the ones with Matt Damon). I still have yet to watch the latest one with Jeremy Renner and I hear talks of bringing Matt Damon back for a fifth Bourne movie. Matt Damon sais he'll only do it with director Paul Greengrass, and I read they may get Damon and Renner together.

I'm in the same boat on this one, and I usually like the Franco-Rogen comedy empire, but this one was just, wow. The only reason to watch it is the first 10 minutes for a few good jokes, mainly due simply to their chemistry, and that one spoilerific scene everyone's already seen on the internet. The timing was off, the script was atrocious, and one scene in particular was fucking gruesome, but it wasn't shot in a way that was comedic or enjoyable or, fucking anything. It was the weirdest, most out of place thing I've witness in a movie, maybe ever? Here's some spoiler talk if you're craving it.
All in all, extremely over hyped and high on its own concept. Like Braid :D

I was expecting a funnyer movie. Something that made me laugh at most of the jokes. Not mostly gay jokes, mean spirted jokes, and Seth Rogen basicly shakeing his dick at us.  If I can say a few good thing about the movie the first few minetes are kinda funny, I kinda feel for James Franco's character (before he is shown to be a complete idiot) and Kim Jong-Un is written in a (mostly) positive light.

Spoiler

A poisoned guy starts sweating and vomiting in a really disgusting way, but it wasn't shot for shock value or anything, then in his panic he shoots his friend in the head and the guys brain matter explodes everywhere. Normally I'd chock this up to just panicy infintile "XDXD THAT'S SO DISGUSTING LOL!" humor that just doesn't apply to me, but the way they shot it, I can't even see that happening. It felt like it was straight out of Breaking Bad in a bad way (pun not intended). I can't really describe it accurately, if nothing else watch it for that weird ass scene.

All of this. I agree with all of this. Except for the Braid part. I liked Braid.

So my parents and I watched Blended, the zany new Adam Sandler comedy masterpiece, last night for a good ol' game of Adam Sandler Movie Bingo wherein beforehand we write down all of the cliches we predict will appear in the film and create bingo cards too see who wins. It ended up turning into a full-card game, but I swear to god there isn't a single fart joke in that entire movie. Not one. It was still a mess and the second worst film I've seen since Under the Skin, but Jesus Christ how in the hell isn't there a fart joke? That just astounds me, I've seen good comedies with stupid fart jokes, guess Adam Sandler is really a secret mastermind of filmaking.
