> I guess a movie about two brave maverick North Korean TV stars heading to Washington to assassinate Obama, the evil emperor of the United States could also be a 'funny' comedy movie to watch.

Except from the fact that it's a boring script, I don't see nothing wrong with it and I'm pretty sure that you an do a movie like that anytime you'd like in the US. I'm pretty sure the government will not send hackers to attack the studio... For making fun of any figure. In the late night show the host makes fun of virtually everyone and anything. Satire shows pretty much the level of a democracy.

ps. Consider that I'm very critical of the US gov. But it's absolutely nowhere near N. Korea if that was your point.




No, that wasn't my point. My point that the film picked a target where it doesn't matter if it offends.

The film studio quite deliberately decided not to make a film about assassinating Vladamir Butin, or Angela Derkel.

I also find such a plot puerile. That was my point. Also read my original last sentence.
