north korean government threatened military action last month over an upcoming seth rogan and james franco it's about television personalities recruited to assassinate kim jong-un during an interview. >> you want to go kim jong-un. >> totally. >> recently, pyongyang wrote a letter of complaint requesting that the movie -- which they deemed to be an act of war -- be shut down. while this seems in keeping with kim jong-un's usual antics, he isn't the only dictator to throw this kind of tantrum. remember manuel noriega, the former panamanian strongman? he's suing the makers of the video game "call of duty: black ops 2" from his panamanian prison cell. he alleges in his lawsuit that the game portrays him as "a kidnapper, murderer, and enemy of the state." perhaps the video game designers should have had his character stick to drug trafficking, racketeering and money laundering, crimes he was convicted of in the united states and france. oh, and he was also convicted of murder in panama. one would think kim jong-un has more important things to worry about than hollywood comedies. i guess norieg

[ laughter ] [ applause ] how do you deal with that? what do you do? i tell you what you do is you fill out paperwork. first question on the paperwork, what's your dog's name? it's like who cares, his name's dog. sick dog. [ laughter ] what's his birthdate? may 17, 1950, it's my dad's birthday. i don't know this -- birthday. only thing i got right was my name. easy. then they come out and they take us back into a room. now we're just in a quiet room at the vet, me and my wife and my dog. you could cut the anger with the most dull scissors you've ever seen in your life, she is so mad and it's just silent. and then the vet walks in. as she walks in, this is the order that it happens, she flips it open and the first thing she sees, says out loud. "oh, nick thune," looks up, realizes we are in

we told you about north korea's displeasure with a seth rogen, james franco movie coming out this fall the cia recruits them to kill kim jong-un. now the ambassador for north korea delivered a letter to the u.n. formally complaining about the film. the bam ambassador writes the authorities should take be appropriate actions to ban of the production and distribution of the aforementioned film. otherwise, it will be fully responsible for encouraging and sponsoring terrorism. that is a harsh word for a seth rogen movie. i'm sorry, north korea. if the u.s. had to stop production on every movie with a questionable plot, that would neen ian ziering would not be working? you are not familiar with "sharknado" 2? >> this country was built on the right to make movies about shark tornadoes. >>> coming up next, just yesterday he was mocking republicans. now it's his turn to be the butt of the joke. republicans taking aim at the commander in chief for saying he wasn't interested in photo ops, your movie, mr. president. plus john walsh calls him a child killing coward. the husband accused of killing

going to be in the film, but i think if we wanted to do it there are probably better ways to get james franco in your movie than to create him digitally. >> we have one more piece of the movie that i want to show the folks so they can get a flavor of what you've done. can we roll that? >> what are you sdmdoing? >> dad? >> it's okay. ♪ ♪ >> go! >> okay. okay. we're going. >> i mean, you see there just the shock on the humans when they realize the level to which the apeses have developed language and that is a constant thing throughout the piece that the level that they are able to speak and communicate sometimes through words and sometimes through sign language is just extraordinary and that gives them so much power. >> yeah. i mean, one of the important -- in trying to deal with drama, the idea was how could the two sides understand each other and this whole struggle of trying to express themselves is one of the really important aspects for both the humans and the ape characters and we wanted to really explore that and working in andy circus and the different performers to figure out how prim

the broadway season, the list of people playing james franco, bradley cooper, jake jillen hall. >> hugebroadway. what's going on? >> it's hard enough to get a show to survive but when you put an a-list actor in it, it goes. because of denzel washington, they went to a-listers there. they want to be there. the elephant man, bradley cooper is going to star in that. come k back since '06. >> is he directing? >> yes. broadway is a flush of a-listers. >> it is hot. lindsay lohan is suing the makers of "grand theft auto five." the character looks like her, but the name is different. there's similarities. she says it's -- we'll see if she has a case. she's sued before. she sued pit bull for saying lyrics she thought that were about her. the judge threw it out. >> thanks very much. great to see you. enjoy your holiday weekend. >> you as well. >> you can watch e news. betty is with the fan of the day. >> we have a special one. she is from greenville, south carolina. this is a milestone for her. one year breast cancer free. congratulations. >> thank you so much. >> take it away. >> still to come,

they are now mad because the new movie, "the interview," is out there in which james franco and seth row began want -- seth rogan want to assassinate kim kim jong un, but they are very, very unhappy and have threatened war over this terrible movie. hollywood has obviously become a tool of american imperialism. china, you know, has sharp elbows in the south china sea, the filipinos and japanese are worried, the vietnamese kind of want us to come, our old enemies suddenly want us around and would like to have us help them out. then we get to ukraine where, clearly, in a sense the cold war in some sense is being recreated there. you know, it's a difficult situation, but the reality is no one in europe or america, i think, wants to go to war over ukraine which means the russians have the capability to do what they want, though i suspect that putin's ambitions are also probably somewhat bounded. i'm not sure he wants to bring in a lot of ukrainians for reasons that were mentioned. you look back to world war ii, and ukrainians don't like it if they're subjugated. putin grabbed the only are
