I’m enjoying the hell out of the dispute between Sony and
Kim Il jong. On the one hand, you have a
megalomaniac dictator, on the other, a clueless corporation that got its start
distributing propaganda films for the Japanese army in WWII. The movie sounds
like a gross out version of Rambo, with
American secret agents hilariously shattering the skull of the evil dictator –
cause America can! A great movie to show in the torture season. Throw in Obama’s
impassioned plea for freedom of speech (which of course doesn’t include
Wikileaks or Edward Snowden, and doesn’t address the fact that we haven’t had a
Presidency that so aggressively pursued leakers and journalists since Richard
Nixon) and the exposed emails revealing that the head honchos are as stupid as
you think they are, and it is a Christmas gift that keeps on giving! It isn’t
the best Christmas gift from Hollywood – that’s Kim’s butt – but it will do.
