Just finished it and thought it was vulgar but brilliant.
Brilliant at exposing the lies of the Lame Stream Media and totalitarianism (and that's really what communism is).
We conservatives are not its audience. The young and foolish and profane are its audience...and they will love it...and they will get the message.
Freedom good...dictatorship (i.e. Communism) bad.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
To you, too.
“Very ironic that the hit-plan they ended up executing was almost exactly the Skylark’s original plan—the one that the CIA said would never work.”
There was actually another meta-joke there that some might have missed.
In their previous movie, “This is the End”, Franco and Rogen are talking about doing a sequel to “Pineapple Express”, and Franco says that for the ending, his character should sacrifice himself to save Rogen’s character, and then Danny McBride’s character will eat him, just to make it completely ridiculous.
Then, at the end of the movie, that is exactly what happens, Franco sacrifices himself to save Rogen from a gang of cannibals led by McBride, who ends up eating him. So this is the second time that Franco made up a ridiculous ending and it actually happened in the movie.
Yes, there are some older movies I really enjoy, and “Judgement at Nuremberg” is one of them....lengthy, but well worth it.
Also “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf”. I never get tired of that one.
I caught the subtle. As I posted on a different thread, the humor is best defined as toilet humor, full of F bombs and full of rectum references.
What I thought was genius was they made fun of everyone, media,John Kerry, jews, and indirectly Dennis Rodman.
Good catch. Saw “This is the End” a while back, but frankly stopped paying much attention to it after a certain point.
In hollywood, there is no such thing as bad publicity. This whole thing IMO was a marketing gimmick.. That marketing gimmick may have run amok, even still it was brilliant.
Got the entire country talking, sucked in the dumbass in the White House and probably saved Sony's financial ass.
They are going to make FAR MORE off this movie now than they originally thought.
I have some ties with the industry as I worked in it for 8 years until I went out on my own, and I continue to be involved through some of my consulting clients (not to mention friends who are still active there).
The damage done to Sony by the hacking was real. Not only was the leaked stuff damaging, but a lot of damage was done to systems and disruptions in operations. Additionally, Sony had to invest a lot of legal horsepower to limit the amount of stolen stuff was getting out via new outlets and other places.
There will no net gain for Sony due to this incident.
Oklahoma! is one of the finest musicals ever.
Couldn’t find that one myself; thanks!
I enjoyed it.
