What the gently caress is wrong with most of you?

This movie is objectively bad. There is minimal character development. The writing is god loving awful. The acting is mediocre. The story is a bunch of Jewish virgins got together and watched a CNN special about North Korea.

Worst of all, it is mostly awkward and unfunny. "You are the Samwise to my Frodo" ?? That joke is 12 years old now. Rob Lowe is balding?? LOLZ! What else is current and funny? Oh a 2010 song by Katy Perry! gently caress off.

I like whatever makes you this upset.

Real talk, though, I would have had a way bigger problem with the LotR jokes if the movie wasn't literally structured around them. More than the North Korea thing, I think that's the movie's core gimmick: it's an absurdist retelling of LotR.

Comedy is hugely subjective, and anyone with any experience knows not to ever try to create an objective opinion about comedy. It's easily hugely subjective with a singular person, as people can be high/drunk in a certain mood and laugh their rear end off at something they won't find funny at all the next time.

Only the consoles get the HD verison apparently to prevent people on PC pirating it in HD. They didn't really think that through.

Wait, who's supposed to be which Kim there? Il is the short one who was in charge and died recently, being replaced by the fatty Un that we saw in the film. Neither of them have a reputation of being obsessed with American media.

Nam is the one who got caught trying to sneak into Disneyland and is now chilling in Macau.

Kim Jong Il owned several thousand American films.

Kim was said to be a huge film fan, owning a collection of more than 20,000 video tapes and DVDs. His reported favorite movie franchises included James Bond, Friday the 13th, Rambo, Godzilla and Hong Kong action cinema with Sean Connery and Elizabeth Taylor his favorite male and female actors.

We really don't know much about Un but Kim Jong Il was definitely super duper into american cinema, if I remember correctly.

I liked it. Not as funny as This is the End, certainly nowhere near the great satires like The Great Dictator and Doctor Strangelove, but overall an entertaining movie. It's interesting that the North Koreans are evidently so unhappy with this movie, perhaps because of the chance that the tiny percentage of the population that speaks English and watches bootleg Western movies could get their hands on it.

Tech types are actually saying the hacking was probably not from DPRK, but Russia (based on the bad English in the threat messages- they're more common mistakes when translating from Russian, apparently.) Not sure who else stood to benefit from this, doubt Putin and co. were involved.

Anyway, funny movie. Definitely lacks a bit of satirical focus- even accepting that it's a goofy stoner film a clearer "take" on the material would have been better.

I liked it. The actual interview should have been more serious or at least had more effort put into it, but I only think that because this movie is famous for the reason that it is. Spoiler-esque question: the foreign (cyrillic?) writing on the tank during the chase at the end looked out of place, because it was in impact font and had a period at the end. What does it say?

It's true, their movie studio is basically a museum about how great Il is at making movies and how he invented multi-directional shooting. I strongly suggest anyone reading this thread (since it would qualify that they want to know about both a movie and about North Korea on some level) should check this out:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuOQhGHdn_A

Worth watching even just for the part where he actually gets a tour of the studio and the general/tourguide/whatever all get into an argument over whether one of the placards is saying that Il visited the studio that number of times or that he offered guidance that number of times.
