I saw an hilarious movie last night called "In the Loop"

[nuxvomica]

It's a satire about government officials in London and DC on the run-up to a military invasion spurred by bad intelligence. It's sort of a cross between "Glengarry Glen Ross" and "Yes, Minister", so if you liked either of those you should probably check it out. The cast includes Peter Capaldi, Tim Hollander, Mimi Kennedy, David Rasche and James Gandolfini.

1. Just added it to my Netflix Queue.

Enjoyed by members who enjoyed: "Election" and "Brazil" (according to Netflix).

Those are two of my favorite films.

Thanks for the tip!

2. The movie got a lot of good reviews

But I had never heard of it. I think you'll enjoy it, too.

3. Have you seen the movie "Whoops Apocalypse"?

It is very uneven but it has some great moments.

5. I swear I've heard of it but never saw it

I'll check it out when I'm not at work. ;-)

4. I've seen it. It's very fine.

Grimly funny, I'd say. And you're right. It's sort of what would happen if David Mamet had written "Yes, Minister." (Which I also love.)
