Hilarious, manic, pop-culture-obsessed parody of the US occupation in Iraq. John Cusack stars, executive produces, and has a writing credit for the screenplay. Also credited: Jeremy Pikser who is active in the Writer's Guild, and my mother's ex-boyfriend, whose name I won't mention since Google has my number. ^^; But he's a novelist with a cult following and listed first in the credits, if you're interested.

In short, if you are into pop culture and have a short attention span (so basically that's all of us), you might want to check out this movie. If you can -- War, Inc has had a ridiculously limited release. I actually kind of want to see it again before the Angelika theater stops playing it next Thursday. Anyone in NYC want to see it with me on Wednesday the 16th?
apintrix?
fiendery?
falxumbra? I also want to see The Wackness and The Counterfitters, playing at the same theater, if "Iraq war parody with Brittany Spears subplot" doesn't sound like your cup of tea. There's this great restaurant and bar we found a few blocks away, come on, it'll be fun.
