I’m sick and tired of hearing things from uptight, shortsighted, narrow minded, hypocrites. All I want is the truth. Just gimme some truth.

-John Lennon.

We are Act One of a Bruckheimer movie.

With all the subtlety of his script writers.

We have the inflated budget to kick ass for the Lord,

We’ve got the stars,

We’ve got the special effects,

And the creative accounting to hide the profits.

We’ve got foreign distribution.

And best of all, we’ve got the marketing campaign

To get the people lining up around the block to buy our flag.

The Taliban are those pesky independents.

They’re more creative, their hearts are in it, they have more to lose.

Their fans are loyal.

They opened with a bang, and took the studios by surprise.

But you have to pay attention to hear their message,

And who wants to read subtitles?

We are Hollywood,

And our machine is rolling.

We will blanket the airwaves with our ad campaign,

And tell the people what it is they want to see.

We own the 18 to 24s.

The higher demographics are testing extremely well.

These are some of the best numbers we’ve seen since DS1.

Make no mistake, we will rule the weekend gross.

We will obliterate the competition,

And the buzz is statues at Oscar time.

Fire up your cigars,

Because the money’s rolling in.

Roll out the red carpet,

There’s a war coming to town.
