Mar 25 2008'War, Inc.' Poster/Quotes Page
How often I've watched CNN--during the hypothetical times between celebrity gossip and Nancy Grace when they have relevant news--and thought, man, if only we could somehow insert John Cusack's character from Gross Pointe Blank into this Iraq situation, along with Hilary Duff doing a horrible accent. Who would have thought my dream could become movie reality, with a poster with multiple taglines and more quoting than some frat boys remembering an Old School scene?
Despite making some pretty blatant political points (such as the eye-rolling money/bullet comparison above), the film looks kind of charming in a typically Cusackian way, and has a solid cast. So if you haven't seen the trailer, check it out under the cut.

yeah, well, john has done some iffy movies, and joan definitely has, but with their cusack powers combined, they tend to make really good movies......

WOW. Edgy! Takes some guts to produce an anti-war movie in Hollywood.

Why does Hillary Duff look like she was plucked off of a Pirate's of The Caribbean poster?

How come Dan Akroyd didn't make the poster cut for his photo? Even if he is still fat, they could have squeezed him in...
Also, notice how the paper tears down to reveal Marisa's cleavage... happy accident?

I love you Joan Cusack but you need better lighting and airbrush touch-ups written into your movie contracts. Your wonderfully expressive face can be jarring when caught in non-flood tungstens.
