SIDEBAR #37 - Arias/Alexander forum

[Bernina]

Since I stopped watching HLN news and mainly watch The Weather Channel in the AM, what is The Interview really about and why all the hub-bub about it? Is it a comedy of sorts?
And yes, things we can't do anything about and worrying about them is just "whistling in the wind" for me.

I tried AGAIN, last night, to watch "The Interview" on Vudu.......urgh! 60 seconds of the movie and then "buffering".

Curses!

Went to sleep early, like 10:30, was up at 5:00 for some reason, and tried it again.......no deal. I've watched other fliks on Vudu, no problem. So what do I do? Go online to Amazon and buy the streaming version.....and it worked great! Got probably into 20 minutes of it and fell asleep! Tonight I WILL watch it!!!

"The Interview" is about the producer Aaron Rappaport(Seth Rogen) and the host Dave Skylark(James Franco) of a Hollywood type "60 Minutes" program, "Skylark Tonight". They want to take it "legitimate" with real news, not Eminem admitting he's gay or Rob Lowe pulling his toupee off on camera <---2 pretty crazy segments. Lowe's segment gets pre-empted by breaking news that Kim Jong-un has launched a missile.
Skylark does a google search and finds out Kim Jong enjoys watching "The Big Bang Theory" and "Skylark Tonight". They devise a plan to get an interview with Kim by contacting the North Korean Olympic committee........that's in the first 10 minutes, besides an opening song by a little N. Korean girl who sings about torture and death of Americans making her small heart fill with joy, with a missile launching into the heavens behind her as she finishes her song.

When Rappaport gets the deal for the interview with Kim (goes to crazy lengths), Skylark announces the impeding broadcast on tv. That's when the CIA knocks at their doors and asks them to "take out Kim" as in "kill him". This involves a ricine laced strip which Skylark attaches to his palm with the intent of shaking Kim's hand, which goes very wrong.

So far, I've found it pretty funny, but I enjoy watching stuff that makes fun of all the over hype/doom and gloom of politics and MSM. I LOVE South Park and Monty Python's Flying Circus so you have an idea about what crazy stuff I think is funny.

It IS a comedy, the filming is first rate. Fast slapstick. And for all the hype about the hacking, it's now come out that North Korea is NOT the responsible party, just caught a bit of a blurb where it originated from Colorado (?) and no US government agency had actually verified the source as BEING N. Korea. And MSM has pie on their face, once again.

I watched it on YouTube Christmas Day. Not am impressive satire, IMO, but I wanted to exercise my constitutional right to stick it (in my tiny way) Kim Jung-un.

Tit for tat I suppose. Juan wants information on all of BNs' workers and work done. Wonder if Juan
ever got that.

Just some trivia:

The Petit Murders were the first trial reported by tweets, saw that on an NBC crime program. Don't have a link, got it from my Roku NBC news channel.

So- all that fuss for nothing :facepalm:

I know Seth Rogen, but not for comedy. I didn't know who he was before I happened upon this article about his mother-in-law's Alzheimer's:

My Family Love Story, by Seth Rogen

"...The first few times I met her mother, I definitely got a sense of who she was, but not the full effect. A few years into our relationship Lauren's mother was officially diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's..."

http://www.glamour.com/entertainmen...disease-affected-his-family?mbid=synd_yhealth

Well he started Hilarity for Charity to raise money for research and awareness of Alzheimer's and he was invited to speak to members of the Senate about Alzheimer's disease:



Seth Rogen Testifies Before Congress (Complete Statement)

[video=youtube;hvdbHSGWAgs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvdbHSGWAgs[/video]

Seth Rogen OPEN FIRE On Senators for Skipping Alzheimer's Hearing Seth Rogen Chris Matthews Hardball

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea7YVzJeYB8

Everyone knows how passionate I am about Alzheimer's and that more people should be aware of this deadly disease as more and more people age (and there's a lot now because of the Baby Boomers). This disease will cripple our nation eventually with all those people needing full-time care one day in nursing homes. And how will those nursing homes get paid? Medicare/Medicaid and the tax payers paying (thru no fault of the families, I may add, because it's very expensive to have full-time caring and who has that kind of money, but full-time care is very necessary for the well-being of all involved, IMO). I have seen the devastation of this disease on the families and not just monetarily, but the horrible emotional toll it brings to everyone involved. A very "bad" disease and situation all around.

Anyway, I guess I'm rambling again :sheesh:

Thanks for the info, Bernina- not a movie I will run out to watch- for me at least.

I think she's, maybe, talking about JM.

Just more garbage coming out of her mouth, IMO.

The man is a force for good, is successful, educated, and has made more money than she'll ever make in her life. Now who's inferior???

You know, for someone who has an above average IQ, missy:jail: is really stupid, IMO.
Instead of just looking like a "librarian", she should be quiet like one and just shut her mouth- NAY- she angers people, tries to
outsmart them- just looks like a fool in my eyes. If she would just show herself as a meek, remorseful person, but I
know that's impossible for a narcissist and a psychopath. Bah
