That weirdo? You mean James Flacco?
As Twitchy reported earlier today, the controversial Kim Jong-un assassination comedy “The Interview” will play in selected theaters on Christmas day after all, albeit in limited release. Star James Franco tweeted “VICTORY!!!!!!!”, while co-star Seth Rogen declared on Twitter that “Freedom has prevailed!”
We’re glad they’re excited to see their project on the big screen after all, but we feel like knocking the exclamation point off of “freedom has prevailed” now that we’ve seen this theater marquee and the stark reality that we’re talking about a movie.

What hype?
@KMFlower @consmover Does this feel like a publicity stunt to anyone else? Maybe I'm just too cynical.

You’re still going to see it opening day, right? Why do you hate America?
It's your duty as a freedom-loving American to spend Xmas Day watching The Interview! #freedom #TheInterview

My 70-something year old aunt who never posts on Facebook just posted that she bought a ticket to see The Interview. Suck it, North Korea.

I guess Sony grew some fucking balls. It's our patriotic duty to now go see 'The Interview'….no matter how lame it looks.

Has going to see "The Interview" become a civic duty like voting? Because the reviews say it's a crap movie.

Now that they've decided to release The Interview can we talk about how terrible it looks?

I just wanted The Interview to be shown… I had no and have no intention of seeing what looks like a terrible film.

When The Interview proves to be a terrible movie, we’re all going to feel like idiots

From a freedom of speech standpoint, I'm glad that "The Interview" will be released. That said, I'm still not going to go see it.

Sony will release "The Interview" and everyone will see it based on hype. It'll probably suck and everyone will wish DPRK prevented release.

I don't care if Kim Jong Un buys me a ticket. The Interview still looks incredibly lame.
— David Leibowitz (@leiboaz) December 23, 2014
Some people just can’t wait until Christmas for the premiere.
Can Sony just release the damn Interview already so people can see how terrible it is and get every other tweet about it off my feed?!
