]* "War, Inc.": John Cusack's New Film Satirizes the Corruption, Profiteering
and Hubris Behind the Iraq War *[/url]
John Cusack joins us to talk about War, Inc., his new film taking on issues
few in Hollywood today would dare to: war profiteering, mercenaries,
political corruption and embedded journalism. A political satire, the film
stars Cusack as Brand Hauser, a hit-man for hire who is deployed to the
fictional country of Turaqistan to kill a Middle Eastern oil baron. Hauser's
employer is Tamerlane, a secretive for-profit military corporation headed by
a former US vice president played by Dan Aykroyd. We also speak to Democracy
Now! correspondent Jeremy Scahill, author of the bestselling book
Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army.

    i forgot the address but there's lots of stuff on john cusack's myspace about the movie. i guess just search for his name there and you'll find it

    oh, and thanks for posting the link about to roll one up while i watch him talk about it. for some reason it kept freezing up right when it showed the trailer clip w/ him playing solitaire...if i leave it it stops responding, i have to skip ahead a few seconds to get it to keep going


    edit, ha, that was an easy enough address!

    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    I was looking forward to it.

    It's getting really bad reviews.

    recount is supposed to be good.

    I've found the more often than not, bad reviews=good movie.
