Gware reminded me of an excellent funny film w/Peter Sellers, called The Party. It could not be made today, because it is not politically sensitive.I find it ironic that many funny or interesting films don't get made because they are not "PC" but the filth and violence are getting as wicked as ever. Perfect example, Last Temptation...not a big deal, but stirred up so much controversy, the Tin Drum as Well. But Mortal Combat and like films go right under the radar? Mafia films don't stir up as much controversy either...I'm NOT for censorship, I just don't see or get the logic.
Any thoughts?
