The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee has called for an investigation into reports that the Obama administration is granting Sony Pictures and director Kathryn Bigelow “high-level access” for a film about the Navy SEAL operation which killed Osama Bin Laden. New York Republican Rep. Peter King sent a letter Tuesday to Defense Department Inspector General Gordon Heddell and CIA Inspector General David Buckley, expressing his concern about declassifying sensitive information for pure entertainment. “The administration’s first duty in declassifying material is to provide full reporting to Congress and the American people, in an effort to build public trust through transparency of government,” he wrote. “In contrast, this alleged collaboration belies a desire of transparency in favor of a cinematographic view of history.” In his letter, Rep. King noted that the mission was successful because it was extremely covert, and that providing “high-level access” to a Hollywood filmmaker runs contrary to that effort. The movie is scheduled for release one month before the 2012 presidential election. (VIA)
Dude here.
I'm literally leaving to camp outside a movie theater right now. Bringing my laptop, a few dozen lunchables, a sleeping bag, and I'll blog from the sidewalk until this movie comes out. Just use that "Free Public Wifi" I always see on my networks but I never use. Pretty sure that's a scam but I'm over it.
Can you even image how awesome this movie is going to be? Explosions: check. Gunfights: check. Terrorists: check. Next level military vehicles: check. America triumphing: check. Everything is here. It's gonna like if Rocky, Miracle, and Saving Private Ryan had a three way. The Dude gets jacked up for Black Hawk Down, and we didn't even win that fight. I ran around my apartment yelling SEAL TEAM SIX for like three weeks after the raid went down, now I get to relive it on the silver screen.
Hey Kathryn Bigalow, wanna really make The Dude's day? Cast Nic Cage to play Bin Laden. Dude's like a chameleon. I just went from six to midnight thinking about it. Plus I'm pretty sure Cage will play anyone for a few million dollars at this point. And Michael Bay has to produce this movie, right? It'd be like when Who Wants To Be A Millionaire replaced Regis with that weird chick if they don't. Doesn't matter who they get if it's not Bay.
God, I'm amped.
There's no way Peter King gets this film shut down. The Dude won't have it. Sorry bro.
