For the ones who don't have it available in their country (like me) are left with no other option :(

That's a pretty bad option, and reinforces the notion that non-US countries are second-class citizens when it comes to content, which is a big part of why piracy is popular in other countries.

I hope Stripe developers didn't write this code. I got the movie for free, jesus ... http://imgur.com/a/hf8FZ - and I didn't get a job after my interview with Stripe earlier this year.

"we couldn't agree on compensation" is how I like to phrase it

Nobody wants to be treated as second class just because of where they were born. If history had happened the other way around, with the Internet first and Hollywood just now trying to introduce region-locked distribution, they would be decried as hideously insensitive, possibly racist. I don't blame anyone for wanting the same access at the same time we get it in region 1.

They want a credit card, they want a CVC for a $6 purchase, and they only have a domain-only SSL cert. Sloppy security, people.

How is that "sloppy security"? Honest question.

I have to wait until somebody torrents it because it is not available in my country. There's no way to purchase and watch it.

Well said, Stripe.

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_interview_2014/ Some of the selected quotes there: "It's just stupid enough that some things are funny. Sadly, it isn't smart enough to realize that other things aren't terribly funny and that an opportunity was lost here." "The remarkably dismal quality is emblematic of the mind-set that brought the movie, and its attendant crises, into being."

Rotten Tomatoes gives Stars Episode III and The Shining within 2% rating of each other. Rotten Tomatoes is pretty horrible for determining if a movie is worth seeing.

I do have to agree but most of the times it is pretty accurate sentiment.

It seems like the closer the ratings get to 50%, the more unreliable the reviews are. I use that as a point of measure.
