Burn After Reading!   Saw it last night, and it is a hoot!
John Malkovich is forced out of the CIA, and starts to write his memoirs. By a weird chain of events the partly completed "book", on CD, gets into the hands of Frances McDormand and Brad Pitt, who realize it's got classified stuff in it, and they try to blackmail him, and when he doesn't bite, try to sell it to the Russians. Then there's another interweaving story line with George Clooney and Malkovich's wife (sorry, I can't remember the actress's name) having an affair. Weird (there's that word again!) happenings all the way along, ending with dead bodies here and there, which SEEMS like a strange basis for a comedy, but it's great!

Seems like every identifiable character in the movie is an idiot, including Malkovich's superiors in the CIA.

Another triumph of the Cohen brothers!

I should tell you, my Beautiful Wife was wonderfully offended by the prevalence of the F word, especially in Malkovich's mouth.
