...invading army of a movie crew occupies a Vermont town. Pinwheeling with the crackle and congestion of a Preston Sturges farce, Mamet's fastest, funniest script gives sharp lines ("That's not a lie; that's a gift for fiction") and wild invective ("I'm gonna tear out your heart and piss on your lungs through the hole in the chest") to a cast that feasts on the dialogue like an old-time studio boss on a starlet's plump naivete.

But the army wants to have a nonlethal solution, a way to keep angry protesters frozen...
...wrap your holiday up in cash. The U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing is selling sheets of 32 $1 bills fresh off the presses of the Mint for wrapping paper. For $50 a sheet, your family can tear into their gifts, then keep the paper to buy what they really wanted...
