‘The Interview’ Hits VOD: A Round-Up of the Best Tweets
It’s been less than a week since threats by hackers presumed to be from North Korea prompted Sony to cancel the theatrical distribution of the comedy. Since then, BitTorrent, independent theaters and even President Barack Obama have weighed in on the situation. Now that the film is available to stream online and is being released in 300 independently-owned cinemas across the U.S. on Christmas Day, people are finally able to check out the controversial film. Here are some of the best tweets about the film:
BTW Come hell or high water I’m going to see #TheInterview tomorrow- If I have to go to Franco’s house and he acts it out for me. #hackgate

There is one black person in The Interview. He plays a CIA agent.

If you illegally download The Interview, but watch it with a LOT of people, whose side are you on?

I think #Sony needs to make a sequel to #TheInterview that tells the story of how a stoner-caper almost caused WWIII

People, you are not some kind of patriotic hero for watching a dumb movie on VOD. #TheInterview

We’re hiring security and carolers for tonight’s screening of #TheInterview. This might be the most surreal day in Cinefamily history.

It’s cool that The Interview is showing, but we get goofy comedies all the time. We get a film like Selma once every what, 10-20 years?
