Hey, everybody, as you know I have been here for 13 years, almost to the day, and all that time have tried never to post off-topic. The one time I did, I made a correction. This, however, is so important I feel compelled to make an exception. If you feel the same, please circulate this material as widely as possible. Thanks!
First to the important matter of the day.

WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:
Please seriously consider inviting cast and crew of Sony's "The Interview" to premier it at the White House. Thanks!
Dear President Obama, Respectfully, please seriously consider inviting the cast and crew of Sony's "The Interview" to the White House to premier their film in your own theater. They are Seth Rogen, Writer/Director/Star, Evan Goldberg, Writer/Director, Dan Sterling, Writer, and James Franco, Star. The American people will appreciate this great gesture towards these cinematic talents, which will show solidarity for freedom of expression and public artistic access, and is preferable to any unpleasant response! This should be presented as a statement against censorship and terrorism and not as an endorsement of any message in or content of the film itself. Thank you for your consideration, for all the good you have done so far, and continue to strive to do.
Certain passages were added or reworded from my original draft as follows: "This should be presented as a statement against censorship and terrorism and not as an endorsement of any message in or content of the film itself." (Written to address any concerns of sending the wrong message!) "Thank you for your consideration, for all the good you have done so far, and continue to strive to do." (Worded that way because people may disagree as to the president's accomplishments but everyone can agree with this--win/win!)

Thanks for considering this!

Now for the Ratings Requests:
I hit the floor, laughing myself silly at Internet Movie Database. On Thursday night The Interview had a 9.9 rating in a 10-point system (way better than most released movies!) with around 3,000 votes. By early afternoon Friday, it was a 10 point rating with around 8,000 votes. By Friday evening it was a 10 point rating with over 10,000 votes--for a movie no one except a few reviewers have ever seen! As of 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 20, The Interview is rated 10 on IMDb from 17,331 users! If they get 25,000 votes it makes the Top 250!
The Interview can also be rated "Want to See" at http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_interview_2014/?search=The%20Interview where it has a 96% "Want to See" rating, and can be rated 1-5 in a 5-star system.
I won't quite stoop to rating a movie I haven't seen...yet...(except one, more on which below), but if they get really close to the 25,000 I may make an exception!
The one movie I rated which I hadn't seen was Megalodon: The Monster Shark Lives. Brought to you by the same people who did Mermaids: The Body Found and The Devil's Graveyards, which was aired as Vile Vortices Revealed but is listed at Internet Movie Database as The Bermuda Triangle Revealed. Those two, I also didn't see all of, but I saw quite enough! All fake documentaries which deserve all the abuse they can get--can't stand them! Anyhow, I rated them all one star and if enough people will rate them the same, we can beat Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas as lowest rated movie of all time--as of 3:00 p.m. on December 20 it is at 1.5 on IMDb from 6,134 users.
I'm interested to see which comes out lowest! These, however, are just for fun. The Interview petition is the important item! Thanks to everybody for your help and support!
Sincerely,
Cornelia Shields
