Four Lions

[Gromit]

Opens at the weekend.

Is Islamic terror a laughing matter or is laughing at terrorist the best course.

I assume the press will go nuts when they see it.

Four Lions

[woofgang]

terrorism isn't a laughing matter of course, but in the UK we have a history of laughing at people who threaten us, personally I think its healthy.

I have always loved Chris Morris and his approach to media and its impact on society.

He will make his point perfectly with this film, and outrage thousands of people who can't / won't see the point behind it.

I have always thought that the difference between comedy and satire is that comedy makes you laugh, and satire makes you think, and if you can combine the two - as Morris can so skillfully, then you have something very special.

I look forward to seeing the film, although our Council is so PC it hurts, so it may not make it to my local cinema.

The British can laugh at thionsgs like this though, but I bet a few muslims will have a sense of humour failure and try and blow a cinema up.

And inevitably....

Four Lions follows four men plotting to kill thousands at the London Marathon
Families who lost relatives in the 2005 London bomb attacks are appealing to cinemas not to show a British comedy about four aspiring suicide bombers.
