Yes, finally someone is going to make the movie you’ve all been waiting for, with the movie hero of all times: the Chauncey Gardiner of Movies! Yes, this time around, the president and his advisers find a movie geek (who spent his whole life just watching movies, instead of TV, because of home video and DVDs and NetFlix and such) with amnesia (or just mentally numb from so much Hollywood product) to advise them (He calls himself The Film Fan Man, but with their elderly hearing they think he said his name is Phil Falman); and naturally, he uses movie tropes, quotes and catchphrases to advise them to kick ass! And so America conquers the world while press secretaries spew Rambo, Terminator and Die Hard dialog to justify it all. And recognizing the movie dialog, everyone, including even the UN, gets onboard, and the world just becomes one big dumb action movie with a Hollywood ending!
It’s the Hollywood version of the Bush presidencies, it’s: Being There 2: Coming soon to a theater near you!
Oh, and the upcoming sequel to this sequel, Being There 3, will feature a person who spent their whole life playing video games (and doing nothing else) advising the president (and all the resultant and related hijinks that follow).
