A Comedy of Terrors

Warner Bros. got litigious and tried to stop the release of the Indian film Hari Puttar: A Comedy of Terrors because it sounded too much like Harry Potter, but an Indian court just threw the case out, meaning the film can now be released in India. The reason being that Hari is a popular Indian name and ‘puttar’ means ’son’ in Punjabi and Hindi. So that was a big waste of time. How about focusing on that Watchmen lawsuit, WB?
