... that's TONS people, on big wooden pallets, sent to Iraq. $4 billion in cash in loose change and twenties.
Most people are outraged at the blinding mismanagement that's finally coming out after all these years. Finally, oversight, which is Congress' goddam job.
We screenwriters, however, are all in a dead heat to turn in our competing heist pitches to the studios by Friday.
Whenever something ((sordid OR weird) + scandalous) turns up in the news, I wonder how many months it will be until it turns up in an episode of "Law & Order."
ReplyDeleteA heist movie . . . oooh, yeah. Set in a fictionalized version of the Green Zone based on Chandrasekaran's "Emerald City" books, and featuring the wacky shenanigans of clueless libertarian fan boys turned commissars.
The whole Bush presidency has the makings of a great black comedy. I figure in 20 years Frankie Muniz will be perfect to play Bush . . .
Astronaut kidnapper will be on L&O for the season finale. Bet my life on it.
ReplyDeleteSomebody's optioned "Emerald City" I believe.
If I had been one of the cats driving the forklifts, you wouldn't have to worry about writing the script, I would just tell you what happened.
ReplyDelete"We Three Kings", wasn't it?
ReplyDeleteMaybe L&O will try to combine the astronaut love triangle with that sky diving murder? If they want to keep the whole sky/falling theme they could reset it on a hot air ballon! If it's Criminal Intent, somehow Nicole Wallace will be involved you know it...
ReplyDeleteIts funny, but I never hear the older conservaRepublicans here at the office ever complain about all the taxpayer money we have thrown down the Iraq hole. Oh well, at least the money wasn't given to poor people, sick children or older Americans. THEN the right wingers would be pissed.
ReplyDeleteI was turning in last night and caught a news report on this on PBS. Good grief...and the kernel of a tale, certainly. I rather enjoyed all of the tap-dancing, back-pedaling and bizarre ass-covering that was going on in discussing this, too.

It looks as if Paul Greengrass has got there first. I read that his next film will be based on Chandrasekaran's book.
The only man fit to write that screenplay is David Mamet.
ReplyDelete'Three Kings' (1999). Just 'Three Kings'.
ReplyDeleteBy David O. Russell, IIRC.
I thought it was more like $12 billion, total, so why is Reuters lowballing it? And more importantly, why weren't they fussing about it, like, a year or two ago, when I first heard about it? Or, for that matter, a year or two before that, when it was actually happening? Incompetents.
