I overheard a conversation between two Hollywood execs one sunny L.A. afternoon at the Ivy.
“So there was supposed to be a Forrest Gump 2. It was set to be about Gump being recruited into the CIA to help build the up the Mujahideen in the Afghan war against the Soviets. He befriends one Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden whom Gump’s handlers introduce simply by his CIA code name, Tim Osman. They become fast friends. Tim and Forrest kill many Red infidels.”
The listening Exec shifted uncomfortably. “Ah, I’ll bet it all left a sour taste after 9/11.”
“Oh they still made the movie” the first replied. “They just changed the title to “Charlie Wilson’s War””.
R.I.P Sen. Wilson
