If you haven’t watched Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s ‘The Interview’ yet, either because you’re too cheap to spend $6 to rent it online, or you were worried North Korean hackers would catch you buying it and share your private emails slagging your boss with the world (I’m sorry Mike! When I called you “a giant goober,” I meant that in an affectionate way, like Goobers candy! Which everyone loves!) you are in luck. As part of their quarterly letter to shareholders, Netflix announced that they will “exclusively” offer the comedy to its U.S. and Canadian customers starting this Saturday, January 24. Sorry Netflix Netherlands! You’re out of luck for now.
I'm not sure how much of what Sony has said or done is a publicity stunt, and how much is real reaction to the political climate -- but either way, it has been a PR gift from heaven as 'The Interview' has become Sony's number one online movie of all time (in just four days). I watched it last night and couldn't stop laughing.
Is the Sony hack a publicity stunt? The most popular toys in each state and the most bizarre headlines to hit the news in 2014. Plus, bashing decorations with baseball bats!
The Sony hacking scandal has proven to be a massive headache for a company that’s already been having a rough few years. And now, this increasingly weird story has taken an even darker turn: the hackers are threatening to launch terrorist attacks against theaters showing ‘The Interview’ this Christmas. Seriously.
