It looks like it's available on Google Play now: https://play.google.com/store/movies/details/The_Interview?i... and YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed2kSuKqfz0

Not available in your country. Well I guess I won't be paying to watch this crappy movie.

Why would you region lock a terrible movie that you are 'afraid' to release in theatres?

Why does https://www.seetheinterview.com keep redirecting to https://www.kernel.com which doesn't even contain The Interview film?

(I work at Stripe.) Kernel is one of the companies putting this release together. They put up the redirect temporarily; about to put a more informative placeholder until the 10a PT launch.

So, how much are they paying Stripe to buy a spot on your blog?

Noone else is saying this for some reason but: It's hilarious that this movie is going to be historic despite it being so shitty (probably). (In true HN fashion this is where I would write "Full Disclosure: I work for the DPRK, but this does not color my opinions.")

Actually most critics are singing its praises. Even the hardcore art house high nosed critics are.

Some of the praise is just because they use the dictators name, willingly. This is actually rather new. Political Correctness dictates you don't. Yes we all knew Chaplin's "The Great Dictator" was about Hitler, but he didn't use the name. Most studios won't do this, its rather bold and new to do that. The only people who really have are SNL, and South Park -esque shows. Not internationally screening studio movies.

As David Edelstein said, "Its a low brow comedy, a political bold, low brow comedy. Laugh and have fun."

If it's not free, I hope everyone buys it instead of waiting for a torrent. We should support online releases.

I'm not in the US, will torrent for sure just to make a statement. I support online releases but this is not an online release, there are no borders on the internet.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I keep getting SSL connection errors and "No Data received" errors on this (Yes, after 10AM)

Yep, they're working to bring things back up. Stay tuned!

"Not available in your country." Which country works?

It works for the pirates, just sayin...
