The Interview has a 54% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which makes it officially rotten and icky and just a little bit better than watching Marky Mark get paid to beat people up instead of doing it for free.

Apparently through all of the drama over the release of The Interview, Sony forgot to license a song featured in the film.
Rush Limbaugh made waves by suggesting that James Bond could never be played by a black man. Idris Elba thinks he might not fit the role for another reason. Check out the gentleman’s response.
The Interview managed to have a stellar box office after weeks of fear and complications surrounding its release. Only opening in 330 theaters (only 10% of U.S. theaters,) including one owned by George R. R. Martin in Santa Fe, it pulled in over $1 million during it’s Christmas premiere.

Rush Limbaugh enjoys controversy, and it’s a slow week. So his comments about James Bond have drawn quite a lot of attention. Is he right, or just racist? (His word, by the way.) Hear what the man had to say, and then speak for yourself.

Brad Sherman, a freshman senator from California, wants to defeat terrorism by showing the action-comedy at the Capitol. And he’s not the only one: there’s a request to show the movie at the White House, too. See what these statesmen had to say about freedom, democracy, and funny stuff.
Thanks to all the hacked and leaked e-mails, we know exactly how much money Sony is eating on The Interview’s cancellation. And the damage to the studio’s reputation is incalculable–at least in the short term–but it sure is fun to try.
Sony announced they are canceling the Christmas release of The Interview — and celebrities quickly decried the decision. See what they said and what could happen to The Interview now…
Although Sony plans to continue to distribute their Seth Rogen-James Franco comedy The Interview after cyber terrorists threatened 9/11 type catastrophes at theaters showing the film, hundreds of theaters have decided not to show the movie.
The Sony hackers issued their most ominous threat yet by saying a “bitter fate” awaits anyone who watches The Interview in theaters. They compared their plans to the September 11th attacks.
