"burn after reading" you guys gotta see it

here's why:
- brad pitt actually manages to be really funny.
- john malkovich is brilliant as the neurotic CIA analyst who is trying to deal with idiocy surrounding him.
- the storyline is unlike anything i've seen in a comedy. on the one hand, you have the details that make this movie a bitter criticism against our self-comforting idiocy. on the other hand, you have the hilarious relationships between the characters that take you from "nothing" to chaos then again to "nothing".
- in the end, you don't waste the $10 you pay on the ticket. it's better to spend your money on "burn after reading" than on "tropical thunder" or "the women".
