Someone Call Terry Gilliam, STAT!

This happened on my Facebook page the other day. To preface: I had just read that Oliver Stone is planning to direct a movie about Edward Snowden. Even better, as part of the source material for his script, Stone has optioned a fictionalized novel about Snowden, written by Snowden's lawyer in Russia. Because that makes sense. It would certainly help guarantee that, true to form as an Oliver Stone vehicle, this upcoming film will be blissfully unencumbered by things like reason, or facts.I'll grant him Platoon. He had one good movie, but Oliver Stone is generally...paranoid and ham-fisted, neither of which are traits I enjoy seeing on their own. Together?  Hoooo-weeeee! And I digress.So I posted this on my Facebook page and then...well...read on. A convergence of Garys. Plus, a bonus no-share smackdown by my mother. Go, Mom-O-Rama!Call. Terry GilliamNOWWWWWWWWWW.I'm picturing Baron Munchausen meets Time Bandits, and Edward Snowden will land in Russia in a flying pirate ship. Oliver Stone will HAVE TO be played by Eddie Izzard in full drag.Tout est parfait! Picture from whatculture.comI got'cher close-up riiiiiiiiiiight heeeeeeeeere, Mr. Stone.Terry Gilliam, I look forward to hearing from your people very soon.p.s. My friends rule.
