Sony vs. Kim Jong-un / Impaired vs. ImpairedIt’s no surprise North Korea would be upset about the recent movie starring James Franco and Seth Rogan. You’ve heard about it; Tee Tong-lu vs. Wollywood. [See how easy it is to change a name] North Korea lives in a world of its own, a country ruled by one man who has shown signs of complete insanity. I’d like to say I’m writing this with an open mind, but who am I kidding; I’m bothered by this hair brained publicity stunt.
I think it’s fair to say this movie won’t unearth any groundbreaking theories, and based on previous performances by these two actors, one can easily say there will be no earth-shattering discoveries, certainly no award winning roles, and no deeply human portrayals. Seth Rogan has the charm of a fourth grader and we love his bouncing stomach, in every, single, movie. James Franco has been around long enough to ask the people of this country for financial aid, imposing Kickstarter on fans who already pay his mortgage. It makes sense Hollywood would throw a tantrum when rejected. After all, it’s tough living in a world of make believe. After being worshiped like Gods and making money hand over foot, it’s only natural these filmmakers would start to believe they’re invincible, but now they expect Americans to climb on board the coo-coo train. Maybe it’s time for a little dose of reality.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize this brainless plot was devised for money, but are we really supposed to allow egotism to judge our safety? Not that I’m supporting North Korea, but a quick look at the structure of our own country, not to mention Hollywood, will shed some light on why some people fall for these schemes.
Lets face it; the world is not the cuddly, sweet little ball of green some pretend it to be. It’s an age of children shooting children, with Hollywood beating on the ambulance doors, harassing someone for the story. The movie business is a group of people who slaughter each other in films, make millions, then cry out for gun control. If that’s not an example of bending over for a buck, I don’t know what is. I don’t share Hollywood’s double standards, and when these moviemakers put a gun to my head and demand I take a back seat, it’s time to slam on the brakes.
With regards to the film, I’ll be the first to say our constitution allows self-righteousness, but now we’ve reached a point where impaired filmmakers place Americans in danger, yet, expect our government to support their actions. Hmm, sounds like the thought process of a North Korean leader to me. Maybe it’s time someone stood up to Hollywood, not because they can’t make a certain film, but because they shouldn’t. If it takes an impaired leader from an undesirable country to do so, then so be it. Some mistakes are costly. That’s life. Most of us can’t conceive losing millions—no wait a minute—Hollywood has our millions, and by the way, what you’re doing with it is selfish.
Moral fiber has always played a miniscule role in Hollywood, and it definitely won’t be found in Kim Jong-un, but this film’s publicity stunt reaches an all-time low. Even the Cochroachian family could learn a new swindle from this foul behavior. You, Hollywood, have just told us, our safety is second to your greed. Well that just sucks.
Some will support this film because America loves a good thief. For example: we cherish the Rockefellers, honor the Kennedys, and hold the Bush family in high esteem. With so many [self-funded] organizations trying to improve lives of the less fortunate, it seems ironic to worship the fortunes made from slavery, alcohol, and cocaine. Many of you would disagree with that statement, that is, until you do your homework. Not to worry if you’ve never researched the above mentioned; Hollywood has been there all along, twisting the truth to make a buck, as they will with every story. Seems ironic Hollywood would preach ethics at this point in the game.
North Korea may be a corrupt place, but when the layers of narcissism are peeled away, our government is ten-fold more corrupt. What makes us special is we’re taught to hide it, call it freedom, even stick our noses up at other nations—countries that actually take care of their own people. But the truth remains America is a business, and “We the People” are the employees. Wall Street runs the government and we, in return, dance at breakfast with the cherry Pop-Tarts we’re told to buy.
Hollywood operates no differently. After all, Americans are not human beings, we’re the chosen race; the highest form of mankind, selected by God to flaunt our fantasy lives. Hollywood has made billions sending that message to the world. Some are starting to believe it. Meanwhile the big boys in Hollywood are driving a locomotive across the country at full speed, shaking people for the change in their pockets. I’m not sure who the bitch is in-between the sheets, but Hollywood and Wall Street have a sweet thing going on. Kudos, but I vote we take this train off the tracks.
But now the cards are on the table, and Hollywood, as expected, is crying like a third grader, laying their actions in the governments lap, [A shining example of functionality] eager to toss safety out the window. And you’re right, George Clooney, I would hold filmmakers accountable if a family member was killed by attending this film, especially since they’ve placed humans at risk for the sake of a dollar. That said, my family is a little smarter than that, and they definitely wouldn’t expect the government to step in when they, themselves, have done something stupid.
Have you ever wondered why there aren’t Hollywood’s all over the globe? Maybe there’s a reason for that. Maybe all countries don’t worship a collection of fake humans. Hollywood and Kim Jong-un seem to be a good match: both blinded by greed, both living under a crown of arrogance, both wholeheartedly believing they are more deserving.
In all fairness, occasionally a film is made that has a message and touches the heart. Rare, but true. Kudos on that, but my advice; save your self-righteousness for a good cause, Hollywood.
I disagree Americans should come second to safety, and I think it’s fair to say we’ve reached a boiling point with our country’s lack of respect for human beings. Now is not the time to pile your shit-stirring on the average American, the ones who pay all debts in this country, and the ones who grieve when the slaughtering reaches our families—eighty Americans every day.
Since we’re told we still don’t matter, I propose every theater in the country increase security and send Hollywood the invoice. Personally, I’m exhausted with footing the bill for millionaire babies who make a living sucking cash from others.
