I was in the YMCA bathroom taking a shit, and then I found a newspaper lying on the ground next to me. So I read one of the articles... and it was very interesting.
It was about Uday Hussein's double and the life he lived.
In case you didn't know, Uday is Saddam's oldest son.

They're making a movie about it too. If you have some free time, I say you should check out the article and trailer .

Based on a 100% true story (at least i think).

Saw the trailer to this while at the movies, forgot the movies name. It's one I've been wanting to watch for some time. I didn't realise it was based on a true story.
 
I saw it on Monday and it's alright. Just alright, worth a watch if you're curious but nothing special or realistic. It might as well have been produced & directed by the US propaganda ministry (or whatever equivalent). Uday's whiny voice is over the top & everything appears to be extremely exaggerated.
 
trailer looks good i guess if they keep the US politics and propaganda out of it, it'll be really good. I'm just stoked to see a unique rated-R nonbook or sequal/remake finally come out. That right there would make it worth watching.
I"m getting so sick of all these cookie cutter PG-13 remakes/sequals/books. No such thing as a normal movie anymore. It all has to be a specific proven profitable formula or they don't make it. Chances are though if it's a good movie they'll already have 20 sequels in the making and a dozen movies in production with the exact same plot just different dictators.
