Exodus, Noah, and The Interview

'Exodus: Gods and Kings' has been banned in Egypt.

The Ministry of Culture banned the film 'Gods and Kings' for historical inaccuracies.

The movie, which stars Christian Bale as Moses, is a re-enactment of the biblical story of the Jews' escape from slavery in Egypt more than 3,000 years ago, during the time of the pharaohs. Australian actor Joel Hedgerton plays the Pharaoh Ramses in the 20th Century Fox production.

Wanna bust a gut?!

In 1956, the same biblical story was told in 'The Ten Commandments' starring Charlton Heston as Moses and Yul Brynner as Ramses. That version was filmed on location in Egypt.

'Exodus' is the latest in Hollywood's string of religious-themed movies released this year.

In March, several Muslim countries banned the blockbuster 'Noah,' saying the depiction of Noah - whom Muslims revere as a prophet - is forbidden in Islam.

News of the ban comes on the heels of the limited release of 'The Interview,' the movie that provoked North Korea to vow 'merciless' action against the United States over its lampooning of leader Kim Jong Un. On Saturday, North Korea called U.S. President Barack Obama the 'chief culprit' who forced Sony to 'indiscriminately distribute' the picture.

No fucktard, our supreme leader (pun intended) President Obama had nothing to do with Sony's release of 'The Interview.'

We have freedom of speech in our country asshole! Now go back to gorging yourself Kim Jong Un while your citizens starve to death. What's that? Putin invited you to a visit in Moscow? Oh that's nice ... lots of caviar and vodka. But while you're there take a good look at the ruble - it has lost half its value.

Hollywood makes fun of our Presidents ('W', 'Wag the Dog', 'Being There', etc.) - why would we not make a satire about a bloated dictator who suffers from severe gout. The ancient Romans used to gorge themselves, throw up, and then continue eating.

Keep gorging yourself Kim while the rest of your country starves to death.
