It’s kind of fun to read the reviews of this film and see the reviewers struggle to find euphemisms for “total gibberish.” In theory, it is a film about Marilyn Monroe, but it approaches the subject through surrealism. Particularly distracting is the fact that all of the “Hollywood” characters can’t really produce any sounds like the English of a native speaker, although they try with hilarious effect. It sounds like Borat did all the voices. One reviewer commented: “As the oddities keep on mounting, the only thing missing is another Red Room and a dwarf talking backwards.”

There is also nudity in the trailer:

Afghan president rejects part of US-Taliban deal which would see release of 5,000 prisoners: “It is not in the authority of United States to decide,” Ashraf Ghani says.

The USA apparently forgot to include the Afghan government in the negotiations – and they won’t co-operate.

Thanks, Obama!

Gee, I can’t imagine why they wouldn’t want 5,000 newly-freed members of the Taliban to be set loose on the population. Those guys always seem so nice, and so dignified in their black suits.

I haven’t been paying close attention, but isn’t this the same sort of thing Kushner screwed up in the Israeli deal? Didn’t he announce the proposal before including the Palestinians in the negotiations?

And isn’t this the same deal we gave the Kurds? Making a deal with Turkey before consulting with or even informing our comrades-in-arms?

I though Trump was supposed to be Mr. Dealmaker. It seems that he doesn’t even grasp Negotiations 101.
