Coming from a country that has starved several million of its own citizens.

Wow, well if Psy doesn't like it than I guess we gotta go see it now.

They Didn't like Firework by Katy Perry Eh? Well I wonder what they would think of some of her (IMO Underrated) Songs like Hummingbird Heartbeat or Legendary Lovers

I just may go to it as well. I generally don’t bother with theater movie runs.

Nobody should like “Firework”. It should be an insult to call a man that. You burn brightly for a few seconds and then go out. lol

We would not have known their salaries had the North Koreans not HACKED into SONY’s computers and made the information known.

Reminded me of the scene in "Idiocracy" when he went to the movie, and it was getting huge laughs while he was trying to figure out what was going on.

Funny, my wife felt about Idiocracy the way you feel about This is the End and Neighbors. Me, I loved Idiocracy, it is perfect satire. We both tolerated the two movies you disliked, but had difficulties with the excessively and gratuitously vulgar parts. We were lamenting the need for those scenes in what would otherwise be funny movies. It seems the younger crowd, the 20s and early 30s, like those kinds of movies, and are desensitized to the disgusting parts.

Point being, to each his own. I'm sure there was some old fuddy duddy saying the same things about Monty Python, Richard Pryor and Porky's back in the day.

Yeah, with regards to this planet all I can say is Hebrews 13:14.

Fair enough. But if that is your mindset, you really shouldn't go to movies, much less criticize.

Oh wow...NK calling us evil...yeah, depriving their citizens basic life and they call us evil....

I hope soon that entire regime falls and those nation can become one again - the great experiment in communism is a total failure...

South Korea has alot of energy right now - their folks are disciplined and family values still strong...I pray for the best for their people!

“Hummingbird Heartbeat”

Quite possibly the best pure ‘pop” song ever written. It is about perfect in it’s simplicity, has a monster hook for a chorus, absolute swagger to the melody and parents hate the lyrics.

Yes. I am completely serious. As much as I despise what she did to herself to further her career, the production team behind the Teenage Dream album, and Perry herself, deserve props for executing the whole thing perfectly. The whole album in general and that song specifically absolutely nails the mindset of the target audience and that is the very definition of ‘Pop”.

I guess with me, I don't mind violence, blood, etc..., but the biggest issue I had was that the comedy seemed forced. It didn't flow naturally. More than anything, I can't stand movies that have to resort to nothing but foul language and gratuitous vulgarity to get a laugh.

I'm not a prude, but a little goes a long way.

The F-word scene in "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" is absolutely hilarious, because it has context and you can fully appreciate the situation.

Dropping 'em all over the place in a movie just because just doesn't work.

I agree. There were parts that were funny, but overall, setting aside the vulgar and disgusting parts, they weren't that funny. They were just all right. Meh, in modern parlance. A few funny bits. So, to make them difficult to watch with over the top vulgarity that added nothing to the story just ruined it for us. I used to love South Park, but that show became the same way and I stopped watching it. When the cringing becomes so regular that it outweighs the comedic parts, then it becomes not worth it any more.
