    I'm just surprised Madoff hasn't had an accident yet, like maybe taking a fall onto a bullet.

    Ok, let's step back a moment shall we and figure this out. Has the Mossad coopted the Russian Mob or vice versa?


    And is there any doubt that Kohn, wig and all, was going above and beyond to get'er'done?

    Instead of Samuel L. Jackson, Morgan Freeman with kung fu grip.


    And the Beastie Boys as ass-kicking allies.

    The most important tidbit in the NYT piece is that she is an orthodox jew and wears a large red bouffant wig to cover her real hair instead of a silly black rag like the poor jews.

    Sean Connery should play the Russian assassin. Have you not seen The Hunt for Red October? He's the most convincing Scottish Russian ever!

    I hope that she funneled some of the Countess' and Max's money to Madoff as well, after what they tried to do to the Von Trapps and all.

    After finding that a VP of an American hotel chain was gunned down in broad daylight blocks from me in Moscow in 1996 for not bowing to the wishes of the Russian oligarchs he was dealing with, I would have to agree with your conclusion...and casting choices.


    If Julia Roberts isn't available, maybe Julianne Moore...and they can release it next December.

    @keithsherwood: No on Julia Roberts. Yes! on Julianne Moore. Although it would be nice (sigh) if I could think of a single Jewish actress who would fit the bill.
