“The Interview” Is Getting Dangerous
I had planned to give “The Interview,” the new comedy starring Seth Rogen and James Franco about North Korea, a pass. All the good jokes seemed to be in the trailer. But in light of the Sony hacking scandal the movie has gotten radioactive: there are threats against cinemas planning to show the movie. The New York premiere, scheduled for tomorrow night, has been cancelled. Suddenly, I’m thinking: I have to buy a ticket and go! The conspiracy theorist in me is starting to wonder: are the email leaks part of a giant plot to promote “The Interview”? (Nothing can be done to promote Sony’s other holiday release, “Annie,” which is stinkier than one of dog Sandy’s turds.)
