Weirder Than Fiction

When they make a movie about the end of the Trump era- as they're bound to because it's been so phantasmagoric (I bet Oliver Stone is already making a pitch to the studio chiefs)- people are going to watch the scene where Rudy Giuliani holds his press conference outside Four Seasons Total Landscaping- a featureless concrete box that's located nowhere in particular- with an "adult" bookstore to one side and some sort of cremation facility over the way- and go "No, that's just too rich. The symbolism is way too neat. It can't really have happened like that."

Only it did, it did...

You really couldn't make this stuff up!

Too true.

I'd like to meet the employee who booked it for them, knowing it was a mistake but setting it up anyway for jokes.

Like you said, you can't make this stuff up :P

It's also rather wonderful that, knowing they'd look foolish, they went ahead with it anyway.

I read that the venue was on a road that leads to a prison. That could be prophetic.

Ha!

This movie will have the same tone as Death of Stalin — sharp humor, sharp horror. Sorry for popping in unannounced; I clicked randomize and found your page. Do you mind if I add you?

[poliphilo]

Please do. The more the merrier. :)
