american hero, undercover

i checked out my google alert today for vg to see what information i could shamelessly steal and pretend it's my own, when the following headline hit me in the face, "Vincent Gallo Playing Fugitive Taliban Member in New Jerzy Skolimowski Film". i was immediately excited and nervous. vg in my home state! we both grew up in upstate new york, now vincent and i would both be miserable in new jersey! sure, the information seemed a little shaky, especially since they spelled jersey "Jerzy", but i figured that it was probably in a soulja boy song that that's how you spell the state's name. who are we to correct a 17 year old from atlanta with no discernible education, linguistic ability, or an IQ surpassing that of spencer pratt?
it turns out soulja boy has nothing to do with any of this which is good, and bad.
the good part is that there is almost a 0.0% chance that soulja boy will be scoring vg's new film. on the other hand, this also means that vincent will not be in nj soon. it turns out that jerzy skolimowski is a person. considering last names alone, i don't get a good vibe about this fellow. combined with his first name, he might as well be calling himself "soulja boy".
we all know that vg will create a masterwork out of this guys movie so here's something i just stole from slashfilm to hold you over while i google jerzy skolimowski to see if his rap records are any good.
The Essence of Killing “follows the story of a Taliban member who lives in Afghanistan, kills three American soldiers and then is taken captive by the Americans. He is transferred to Europe for interrogation but manages to escape from his captors and becomes an escaped convict on a continent he does not know”.
