come to the conclusion that it isn't fiction.

It IS, however, a damn good movie. This is Cusak's best work since "Being John Malkovich". A Judith Miller character is hysterical in the "press pod" scenes. And the damn thing is truer than it is satire.

3. That was then, and a staggering amount it is,
on Sept. 10, 2001. Can you imagine what it must be up to now?

8. not even on in Chicago, his homeland
coming soon here, from his myspace page:

,,,we will be expanding in TWO weekends (not one) on JUNE 13th to BOSTON, CHICAGO, SAN FRANCISCO, BERKELEY, SEATLLE and , which means yes, we still very much need your help in LA and NYC this weekend, but i'll probably also be bugging you for weeks to come if we hope to have any chance of getting the film out to all of you! please forgive me for my error - i'm suffering from insane work hours, serious sleep deprivation and a touch of deliriousness. thank you for your understanding... and continued support!
