Too bad Will Ferrell pussed out. We'll most likely not see many edgy comedies ever again; there's always somebody out there offended.
In this world we've created, there's no hope anymore of getting anything approaching anything near brazen. There's just no way. This is world we live in now. People have to be spectacularly brave to simply speak their mind for fear of reprisals from the goon squad.
In the mean time, the world keeps on spinning. The robber barons will continue to stuff their pockets, be it via the multi trillion dollar housing market robbery we all paid for, or to take our minds and anger off that, we can all sit around and be told what to think by Comcast and Disney. Don't worry, you'll still be able to walk around and pay only 100 dollars a month to be able to make a phone call or watch some television, it's all good. Just don't worry about the Raegan movie, the outcry is easily too much to bear for anyone to make it.
Oh goody, it's almost Marvel weekend.

Curious, do you have anyone in your family with dimentia? {nm} Apr 29, 22:09
Yeah. Also, I doubt whether it would make much difference regarding the making of a good film. {nm} Apr 29, 22:18
EXACTLY. {nm} Apr 29, 22:22
And that's the point, it's based on a real person. Heck, I wouldn't care if they did a satire on the Reagan presidency... Apr 29, 22:37
Comedian Ruby Wax: What's So Funny About Mental Illness? Apr 29, 23:20
And in some of these examples, it's those with the disease that's doing the comedy and thus bringing light to it. {nm} Apr 30, 00:18
What difference does that make? So, the only person that should make a film about a bank robbery is a bank robber. {nm} Apr 30, 00:28
Nobody else with an imagination could bring any light to it. {nm} Apr 30, 00:35
Apples and oranges. Mental disorder is not the same thing as bank robbery. I'm done. {nm} Apr 30, 00:36
Comedian Joshua Walters: On Being Just Crazy Enough. Apr 29, 23:21
SPLITSIDER:The Uneasy Relationship Between Mental Illness & Comedy. Apr 29, 23:27
WOW: There's A Lot About Mental Illness That's Really Funny. Apr 29, 23:32
Performing in black face is never funny {nm} Apr 29, 22:52
People seemed to dig Tropic Thunder {nm} Apr 30, 03:21
did not SNL build their Reagan jokes in the 80s on dementia? {nm} Apr 30, 00:08
Nope. {nm} Apr 30, 00:17
Nope a lot of their jokes were he was this sweet old man for the camera and sharp as a tack behind the scense {nm} Apr 30, 03:16
I don't have a problem with comedy related to any subject, including dementia, in a general sense, Apr 30, 07:05
In other words - A fictional president with dementia, played for laughs = potentially funny, Apr 30, 07:10
I don't see Will Ferrel comedies as "edgy". Self-humiliation and potty humor are not "edgy", at least IMO. {nm} Apr 30, 12:23
