Super Size Me director interviews Osama bin Laden

[Rukas]

Did Morgan Spurlock sit down interview with Osama? More importantly - did he whip out a .45 and shoot him?

Harry here... I don't know how likely this is... and with the news breaking today - there's probably a good chance that Morgan Spurlock is on his way to Gitmo where he will not be tortured for days and days until he gives them every detail of this joke or stunning accomplishment. If he did find Osama... if he did interview with him - then this would be the single most embarrassing failure of the entire Bush Administration... when the McDonald's Diet guy can find Osama... and the entire joint world intelligence forces can't... then there's something extremely fucked up. Then again... it could be a horrifying joke... which would end Morgan's career... But frankly - if he did get it - they shouldn't screen at Sundance. They should PAY-PER-VIEW the damn thing after a massive marketing campaign... cuz the second that footage gets out - and the Weinstein company in the past year has had a horrible series of Internet Pre-Release leaks of entire films - and this would be huge, for the short time that it would be available exclusively in their control. What do you people think about WHERE IN THE WORLD IS OSAMA bin LADEN?

CreepyThinMan here, I saw this on MSNBC and thought you might be a little interested......

"Did Morgan Spurlock find Osama bin Laden?

15 minutes of footage shown at film fest sparks bidding war, speculation

Rumors are flying that filmmaker Morgan Spurlock of "Super Size Me" fame may have done what the United States government has failed to do for the last six years — find Osama bin Laden.

The speculation first began at the Berlin International Film Festival in February, where Spurlock showed a select group of potential buyers 15 minutes of footage from his new documentary, "Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden?" The film follows Spurlock through the Middle East in his search for the elusive leader of al-Qaida. According to Slashfilm.com, The Weinstein Co. quickly snapped up the picture after seeing the clips.

Adding to the belief, Daniel Marracino, the film's director of photography, is quoted in Variety, saying of the movie, "We've definitely got the Holy Grail."

Whether this is just a genius publicity ploy or if Spurlock actually found bin Laden has yet to be revealed, but the answer should come next year, when the documentary is slated to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival."

I've Been checking this out and allegedly the Weinstein's have dropped 25 million on Spurlock for the movie based on these 15 minutes alone. Now if this is true then it would be the MOTHER of all Documentaries and will have done what the ENTIRE U.S. Goverment couldn't or wouldn't do. There is some speculation about this all being a cocktease but promising something this big and shafting people is like picking up Heather Graham at a bar, looking the way she did in Anger Management, getting her home and finding out she has a cock.

Wow, either way, this is going to end really bad.

It's either a marketing campaign and not true, and then his career is over, or its true, and he did what the US Government couldnt, and Bush's career is over.

Im hoping for the later.

How come this is popping up now when it was first shown in Feb. of 2007?

"he did what the US Government couldnt"

Well, assuming that this is the "Holy Grail", lets be fair for a second. Filming Osama in a village somewhere and capturing him or blowing him up are two different things. Lots of politics involved in that region. Something tells me that an almost famous filmmaker would face less consequences.

Someone is going to get embarrassed by this.


And by someone I mean Spurlock (most likely) or the American government.

The fact is, if it is true, he had to find him first to interview him, something the US government is yet to do. If this is true, he tracked down Bin Laden, organized a meeting, sat down, and interviewed him.

Sure it's not like Bin Laden would agree to get interviewed by the US Military, but still, Spurlock had to actually find out where he is, and the Government can't even do that, or dont want to (I dont know which is worse).

 

[PuffnScruff]

actually you dont really know that the us govt has yet to "find" him they have yet to capture him. two different things. like salty said, there are too much politics involved in dropping a bomb on him or capturing him.

and lol at bush's career being over. his term in office is over in '09 that has been set in stone since '04. i wouldn't exactly call it a career. and it his final term as president wont be over due to a movie

 

[hizzle?]

The US Government has no reason to capture him really...

in a way you are right. just in the past year the govt has all but admitted that they really aren't focusing too hard on trying to capture him. their idea is that al-qaeda is bigger than one man and even if they take out bin laden it's not going to stop anything directly or al-qaeda from doing their work. just make a bunch of americans semi happy for a few hours.

They have no idea where Osama is. He is untouchable.

It's all bullshit politics. Same with Europe not allowing Serbia into the Union until two Bosnian Serbs on the run are caught, when they have shit all to do with anything.

Well, the hierarchy is not that of organized crime. There is no ring leader who needs to give out the approval for everything. The terrorists are spread out with clear objectives and they go about their business.

 

[hizzle?]

^^ Well those two Serbs were doing what Serbia told them to do really, but I agree that it shouldn't stop Serbia from entering the union, especially since one of those two serbs is in the French Legion.

I find it really hard to believe that a pasty faced white guy that doesn't speak a word of Arabic managed to find Bin Laden single handed. That's about as believable as Bin Laden himself smuggling a 9000 pound nuke into the States, painting it with happy colours and detonating it on the white house lawn.

For all we know Osama may be long dead. Didn't he have kidney failure?

 

[Jokerman]

I doubt it's true. But all this guy really had to do was go to the right elements in Pakistan, tell them why he wanted to interview bin Laden and ask them to get word to him, if they could. If bin laden had his own reasons for agreeing, then it got set up somewhere. Obviously, it wasn't somewhere Spurlock could tell the military about afterwards that would matter.

Bin Laden was probably a fan of Super Size Me. He hates McDonalds and what they bring to his culture. He's a fan of Youngline Records, too. Get an interview for Streethop.

You don't just walk into Pakistan and start asking questions about Al Qaeda when you're that white and American. That's like entering Iran with a sign on your neck stating "Mohammed is a donkey-boning asshole. Please kill me, kktnx."

A shame that that Spurlock guy had to do this silly stunt. I respected him for the Supersize docu flick, but this is gay.

they dont wanna capture him. they know where hes at but Osama is not the US government's concern.

ya'll be happy soon one more year for Bush.

 

[Stred]

i hope this is true i wanna know if he is still alive..

lmao

I do it all the time.

"Hi, I'm with the CIA. Can I ask you some questions?"
"Yes, my friend."

That's like entering Iran with a sign on your neck stating "Mohammed is a donkey-boning asshole.

I do it all the time.

"Yes, my friend."
