The Interview: Review

I want to talk about the movie The Interview by Seth Rogan. This movie has caused a lot of controversy for a good reason. People were going as far as giving out death threats to people that were going to see it. Now before the internet gets their panties in a bunch and talk about how it's just a movie and that it should only be viewed as a movie, or on the opposite standpoint, this movie is horrible and you are all going to start a war with it, I want to say I enjoyed this movie. Does it have it's flaws? Yeah. Does it make fun of a man that has more power than Superman in his country at this point? Oh definitely. Is  it funny and entertaining? Yeah, it was alright.

You see I feel like the movie is more hyped up by its controversy than it's actual story. If this was based on a fake leader that slightly resembled Kim Jung Un then people wouldn't be as anal about it. I want to look at it as a movie and cut away all of the controversy. The film's writing and its comedy is what I want to talk about, not the whole North Korea bit.

Let's start with the story. A famous interviewer and his producer get the chance of a life time to interview the leader of North Korea. The CIA decides this will be the perfect chance to send people in to assassinate him with out the US looking suspicious. The two are contacted and go along with the plan with a few set backs and shenanigans until their goal is completed. The story line is good there's a lot of funny moments and the jokes had me laughing but there was one thing  I did find a bit of an annoyance about the film. There were a lot of times where it followed a certain formula and made what was going to happen predictable. Skylark, the Interviewer, would come up with really stupid ideas that would be shot down by everyone, but then it ends up being what has to be done. There were also scenes earlier in the movie that was obviously going to happen again later during the interview. This isn't exactly bad, all of the jokes and ideas were silly and entertaining. The way they played out was great and kept me laughing but it still bothered me how predictable the whole movie was. It follows some well known tropes with the occasional surprise here and there.

I don't want to give away the jokes or spoil the movie. It really was a fun watch but it isn't a brilliant masterpiece. I recommend at least a rent while it's on Google Demand or whatever it's called. Personally if it ever goes on DVD I'm going to purchase it but if not I might get the digital, but no guarantees.


As usual I will give you a drinking game to go with the film. I don't have a drink for it yet but I believe a margarita would be the best choice.

1. Take a drink for every movie trope.
2. Take a drink for every sexual reference.
3. Take a drink for every pop song
4. Take a drink for every "Honey Potting/Dicking"



Enjoy, and as always drink responsibly! 

Mana Potion

Well I made a new delicious drink I must share with everyone. I call it Mana Potion. I have only ever made it in bulk so my recipe for it is mostly eyeballed and for a large pitcher. I then proceeded to pour it into a fancy creamer-esque container. I'm not sure what exactly that type of glass is called considering I bought it at Salvation Army for $.99. We aren't here to talk about my glassware though! You came here because you wanted to know about the liquified Fruity Pebbles that is this drink. 

What is needed:

1. A large pitcher, I used one made for Iced Tea.
2. A bottle of V8 Blueberry Pomegranate. 
3. A 1 liter bottle of Blueberry Pomegranate Carbonated Water (I used CVS brand because it was cheep and I work there. You can use any other brand though and it should work the same.)
4.  A bottle of Blue Curacao 

*Optional*

• One 12 oz bottle of Smirnoff Blueberry Lemonade

How to make it:

1. Pour half a bottle, or a bit more depending on how potent you want it, in a large pitcher
2. Pour in the full bottle of Blueberry Pomegranate Water
3. Finish off the pitcher with the Pomegranate V8
4. Get a large spoon (I used a ladle) and mix it together 
5. Pour into fancy glass

*Add in the complete contents of the Smirnoff before the V8 if you want to add it in.

This drink tastes exactly like Fruity Pebbles that have been turned into a sticky liquid. It does stain fabric because of all of the blue dye in it so be careful when making. The drink also turns your lips blue so it does bring back some childhood memories of blue popsicles at the same time.  It's best to drink this with a bunch of friends around a Video Game Console and drink every time one of you dies or loses the round.


*Drink RESPONSIBLY!*

The Adult Juicy Juice

Alrighty I've discovered something delicious and non-nutritious. I call it the adult juicy juice. One day while playing the Bleach (anime) drinking game  my boyfriend and I decided that we should mix our blue raspberry vodka with cranberry juice in our tiny little cocktail shaker we bought at CVS. After mixing it we preceded to fill a multitude of shot glasses with it and took a drink for every rule we had (I'll post them here at the end for you all to enjoy) and discovered that the two things mixed together make the most delicious version of the berry juicy juice I've ever tasted. Now to make this all you need is:

• One cold bottle of Wave Blue Raspberry Vodka

• One cold bottle of Any brand cranberry juice, I used Sure Saving brand

• One cocktail shaker or two cups, as long as one cup fits inside the other. 

• As much ice as you feel needed. 

* I say cold because the taste is better cold and it doesn't feel as sticky in your mouth =b

Now!

1. Take your shaker/ smaller cup and put ice in it. 
2. Fill have of that cup with the vodka. 
3. Top it off with the cranberry juice. 
4. Close shaker or put larger cup on top of smaller cup
5. If using cups make sure nothing can get out of it and then shake it, (I've done it with cups that didn't fit well together... makes a giant mess and wastes precious booze)
6. Pour it into shot glasses and enjoy! 

This is a very potent drink and you can decide just how much alcohol you want to use. The night we made this originally was a night where we intended to get severely hammered and we were after only 12 shots each. It was a lot of fun and it went down so smooth we could barely feel the alcohol. As for the game we played, we found a few rules on the internet and added a few of our own.

BLEACH! the drinking game

Each rule we took one shot for.

• Rukia or Ichigo is said
• Ichigo rushes into battle
• Ichigo pulls down his hollow mask to win last second
• Ichigo is saved by Rukia and then called a fool
• Ichigo shows up in a kimono that is different than what he was wearing or was previously destroyed
• Orihime is useless
• Ichigo gets mad at Rukian and then gets his ass kicked
• Bankai is said
• When the attack name is announced before being used
• Every time someone says damn. 

Well enjoy the drink and the game. Always drink responsibly and never under age! Know your limits and have fun ^.^
