âThe Interviewâ Ignites Fierce Online Fight Between SOAâs Kurt Sutter, Seth Rogen
The internet world has been captivated by news surrounding Sonyâs new motion picture, âThe Interviewâ, after skilled hackers allegedly attempted to stop the cinema from hitting the silver screen. As we all know, the hackers, while coming very close to being successful, failed to prevent the movie from hitting theaters, and it opened asÂ scheduled on Christmas Day. SOAâs Kurt Sutter tweeted his opinion of the movie on December 29th, 2014, igniting a fierce fight between himself and one of the movieâs stars, Seth Rogen. Sutter says in his tweet, âWatched the Interview last night. 2 thoughts:Â I wish it was banned.Â Studios have to stop greenlighting movies SR thinks of when heâs high.â This coming from one of Hollywoodâs most successful writers and producers to date, is quite the insult. Sutter, who is rarely dissuaded by the opinions of anyone else, is a man who possesses a colorful vocabulary, and usually tells things like they are. Rogen replied to Sutter, saying ââ@Sethrogen: @sutterink I hope not!ââ, to which Sutter says, âIâm not a weed guy. I prefer rage and adrenaline. Then I write while Iâm in lockup.â Critics say this was the major catalyst for a nasty fight between the two, and state the battle of opinionsÂ is not yet over.  Reportedly Sutter actuallyÂ feels that the hackers should have succeeded in stopping the movie, and that itâd have done moviegoers a âhuge favorâ; regardless of whether or not President Obama saw it as âgiving into terroristsâ. He referred to the movie as âgarbage, done in the most distasteful of waysâ. Rogen, who wasnât slow to point out that Sutterâs most recent series highlighted murder, drugs, incest, adultery, among a whole plethora of issues most writers would never consider touching, backlashed at Sutter, saying heâd ânever get paid enough to act in something Kurt Sutter wrote or producedâ. We all know that Sutter and Rogen have two vastly different personalities, with writing styles that couldnât be more opposite, but does this really mean the two should be fighting online about it like a couple of little girls? Fans, upset by the fight, set Twitter ablaze with their own arguments, some telling Sutter that âweed would be cheaper and more fun than a ticket to âThe Interviewâ; others telling Rogen to âkeep up the good work and ignore what other people have to sayâ. Where do you stand in âThe Interviewâ fight? Do you agree with Kurt Sutter, or do you side with Seth Rogen? Are you neutral? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
