...reason. At this point in my career, I wanted to express my own feelings about my country and where it is. That's the first thing. The other is that there weren't that many [serious] films coming out, because the film business has gone a little more toward straight-out entertainment. So when I saw the script, I thought, This is smart. It's also tricky, because it's a triptych. How do you balance out three stories that seem to be disparate but are connected and have to come together in a vortex at the end? All points...
What looked like an utter mismatch after September (something along the lines of last year’s 34-13 drubbing by Yale) is shaping up to be a classic like 2005’s triple-overtime thriller.

This was surely it - the moment when the straight faces would break and Paul would be wedgied up the flagpole. "When you see Bernanke," the kid said, "will you tell him to stop cutting rates when gold hits...
