I am still amazed at how tone-deaf a movie celebrating the CIA’s boondoggle in Afghanistan and lionizing Charlie Wilson was - ever, but especially when it came out
A jury convicted him of 34 counts of falsification of business records in the first degree, which is a felony in New York. You can look it up very easily.
To be fair, the strategy worked. The problem was that as soon as the Russians were out, we bailed and left a void of leadership, which allowed the Taliban to take all the weapons we had given the Mujahideen and start using it against us. Had we stayed and helped rebuild the country, things would have been much different.
Probably one of the best scenes for subtle one-liners, and Philip Seymour Hoffman kills it. "What are you, an infant?" 🤣😂🤣😂
His "speech" to his boss is my inspiration to send mine to hell every day. He is fantastic.
....that's your idea of subtle?😂
"Well, should we try this scotch, or will it release sarin gas when i open it?"
"I don't think so, but open it over there" 😂😂😂

“You ain’t Thomas Jefferson, so let’s call it even.”

Talisker……the distillery is a 20 minute drive from my house. Nice to see stuff from my part of the Highlands get a wee scene!

Phillip was such an amazing actor❤
Such an underrated movie....
Mustache, black curly hair, glasses and an attitude. Great costume.
Hoffman is a monster in everything he does!!
Was a monster..

"Who's the prosecutor?" "Rudolph Giuliani".....LOL, if only they could have seen the future.
Lol. Same about arming Osama Bin Laden and Afghanistan jihad fighters, too, right?
Doors swing a lot of ways in politics, funny boy.

This is how we get involved in endless wars.
This is how the ussr fell.
This (movies, TV, newspapers, etc) is how the tyrants trick people into thinking they know what's going on.
Amazing scene. Hoffman kills it. How many times are they going to ask what's your name?
Gust Avrakotos...
Rest in peace Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
That character is dead, but the person playing him is still with us.
@ Gust wasn’t Phillip Seymour Hoffman? Cause he passed away years ago.
@@timtruth3679 PSH has been dead for over a decade.
I absolutely love this scene
That was pretty damn good! Scott
Fantastic movie.
Love this scene
Welcome back from all your FBI investigations into child Inappropriate behavior. allegations, sir.
What in god's name are you talking about?
Back when breaking the law would disqualify people from politics. Different times.
Yup, they still let Biden in the white house even though hes a crook, different times.
And so far, no one has been able to tell me what crime Donald Trump committed?
