Rewatched 'Wag the Dog' the other night. Interesting. The ending was more unnerving than anon remembers it. Seeing it through new eyes. BTW there is a 'Pepe' in the credits.
The producer in the film reminds anon of a Hollywood producer that always seemed to rankle TPTB. This producer met Presidents Reagan, Ford and Carter as part of a show he was doing. He also spent considerable time in Russia and China producing live shows.
His book starts with 'I spent years doing things I never did, in places I never was, with and for people that did not exist. It was a privilege to serve my country in this way.'
New eyes.
