Push it to be the highest rated film of all time! For multiple reasons.

what ? why ? what does that do ?

Sticks it to IMDB/Sony/The USA/North Korea/Japan/Faceless Moneybag Execs/and Unfounded Terrorist Threats
Why would you not make it the highest rated film of all time? As a human who internets, it is your duty.

How does it stick it to Sony? Sony had little choice in the matter because American cinemas refused to show it because of the vague and insane 'threats'.

Nope. Sony = Japan
Japan = Short-bus nukes just a hop skip away from their HQ
Sony pulled the film, not having anything to do with US governmental worries.

Mitt Romney is calling for Sony to release it for free on the interwebs...

Sounds like speculation to me... especially considering that if NK did anything to Japan, the US would be there to wipe them off the face of the planet...

Japan alone can wipe them off the face of the planet and not get sweaty.

Also, it wasn't Japan that was attacked, it was the US offices of a Japanese company who was trying to put out an American movie...

No, I am not going to rate a movie on IMDB for any other reason than the qualities of the movie itself, regardless of the circumstances around it. I love movies, and I take movie ratings more seriously than that.
It would be disrespectful towards those movies (and the people who made them) that are better than The Interview, of which I am sure are many.
-
Why do I feel this is something that 4Chan would have started? :rolleyes:
-
what a stupid thing to do
request to re-mute OP.
-
I mean, while the circumstances surrounding the movie were unfortunate, this whole idea is pretty stupid for a movie that would have been more than likely around a 6/10 at best

Not really. This is like that piece that tried to make out it's an American duty to go see the film in order to make the the point that terrorism lost. Like, seriously? lol
The film itself doesn't look great, but I'd probably still see it if they didn't pull it and at least offered it VOD. Sony isn't doing that though for insurance reasons, so they can claim full damages.

This is one of the most harebrained slacktivist things I have seen in a while. Next we should totally get #notmykorea and #sonycyber**** trending on Twitter. That'll show them.

YOU ARE LITERALLY RAPING ME WITH THOSE TRIGGERS!

Well its 10/10 now GG :-X

Really, almost any country can. That's why I don't understand why people take NK seriously. Especially when we are always saying things like "We don't give into terrorist threats."
I mean, while the circumstances surrounding the movie were unfortunate, this whole idea is pretty stupid for a movie that would have been more than likely around a 6/10 at best
You say that as if IMDBs rating system isn't already extremely flawed. If anything, hopefully this will force them to face that issue too. Honestly it's nearly as bad as Yelp!
-
We need a new set of hackers to break into Sony to steal the movie.
-
i'm rather disappointed by some of the comments in this thread on politics....
Hint: Not alot of people need be dead to start a war..

Yeah great point!
This one instance of a company being hacked and threatened by another country because of a movie, which is then pulled. This then causes SOME users to vote it highly thus FORCING IMDB to redesign and reset there whole rating system for the tens if not hundreds of thousands of movies, games, tv shows etc.

I still don't understand what purpose it serves to do this.. What is the message ? I no get..

It's to prove to Sony execs that Americans are incredibly stupid and will fall for any sort of viral marketing
Kudos to Sony for making some crappy comedy movie the most sought after movie of 2014.

This sounds like a terrible movie with poor taste.
Granted that you don't like NK, but to make a movie about killing the NK leader isn't in good taste and is needlessly provocative.
If someone made a movie depicting Obama getting lynched while eating watermelon and fried chicken, there would be a lot of displeasure also.
NK is almost certainly behind the cyberattack, but it is going to be hard to prove a state actor was behind it and even harder to produce a measured response. Should you bomb people just because a private, non-US corporation gets into a tiff with a tin pot dictatorship? Remember, it is SONY's freedom of expression at stake here. Not Obama's right to make a speech criticizing North Korea. This is not an attack on the US Social Security's website or something hitting US citizens as a general category. It was an attack on Sony and Cronies, and as far as the info revealed showed, the Cronies weren't very attractive people anyway.
I don't like the Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe, but if I used inappropriate language to describe him in the wrong situation (eg called him a N***** while at a Black Panthers fund raiser) I would almost certainly get my nose broken, freedom of speech be damned. If you were the public prosecutor, would you want to muster massive public resources into investigating this assault and battery incident and prosecute the Black Panthers for bashing me and denying my right to freedom of speech?
NK could have acted the generous, broad minded big hearted guy by ignoring the movie. Now the US should act the wise democracy and not muster the military/ CIA/ US public institutions to defend corporate interests.
Most bizarrely, these are Japanese corporate interests that the US wants to defend and even the right wing Japanese leader Shinzo Abe isn't defending Sony.

although i doubt this movie is great (i expect it to be really funny at parts and passable), i think it is in great taste, **** like this should not be off limits.

That sounds a whole lot more racist than this movie. Granted I haven't seen the interview.

They should've released it in NK and the US exclusively.
Really curious to see the numbers they pull down with a digital exclusive release + hypetrain. This might be the beginning of the end for traditional film releases if it sells really well.

i don't think NK know what a "movie release" is.
-
I'm only 25 minutes deep, and so far this movie is goddamn hilarious.
Haters gonna anus.

Thank you based private trackers.
Movie was alright I guess, had some funny parts.

kim jong un is a fat *****

just watched it
made me giggle

So the movie was obviously awkward since its based on a real person. But besides that. Rogen and Franco are hilarious in any movie they do together. So I loved watching them together! Great movie but weird plot.

Agreed. I'd give it an 8/10. Loved it, but it could've been better.

Same here! 8/10 for them being them. -2 for the plot.

Making a comedy film about an incredibly cruel dictator being ultimately killed is somehow equal to making fun of a US president being lynched? I fail to see how it could be offensive in the slightest.
-
I didn't really like it all that much. Sure it was funny in parts, but I thought it was quite predictable sometimes, and other times just a bit strange.
I would give it a 6.5/10
-
10/10 would watch drunk again

I was joking with a friend of mine the other day that the difference between loving and hating this movie is directly related to how drunk or stoned you are. Me and a mate got baked and watched it over Christmas, I found it pretty funny. Hilarious when they're in the tank at the end!
