Trying to talk my Dad out of watching The Interview is like trying to talk the ocean out of watching The Interview.
the ocean: No, I’m not just watching it out of a form of childish pseudo-rebellion against a genuinely dangerous political actor whom I view as a sort of cartoon villain for a lot of fucked-up reasons I need to examine - I mean, Seth Rogen’s a really good actor -
me: Which is why you never mentioned the movie before the hacking - it was all just, like, washing against the sand, evaporating to form clouds, concealing giant squids. Not one mention of this movie about which you’re suddenly so enthusiastic -
the ocean: I did mention it! I did, maybe not to you, but I - and anyway Seth Rogen’s a really good actor.
me: He’s not! He’s not.
(I know, I know - I shouldn’t even bother talking to the ocean.)
