Down and Out in Washington, D.C.

FYC: "Down and Out in Washington, D.C." - Sean Penn stars and directs in magic-realist fable in the tradition of Jerzy Kosinski, Paulo Coelho and Frank Capra in which Adam Panandros, a learning-disabled homosexual, is goaded into running for the presidency as a joke by vicious internet trolls... but soon it is Adam who is laughing, as he somehow wins over the hardest hearts in America and becomes a front-runner on a simple platform of his natural innocence and warmth... and his stock answer to all questions of "SMILES AND HUGS!"

The National Down Syndrome Society has called the film "patronisingly offensive at best" and urged a boycott, but Penn has argued that he is promoting inclusiveness and portraying a positive role-model for the learning disabled - in an effort to prove his sincerity and deflect criticism, he has vowed to stay in character as 'Adam' until he wins an Oscar.

"James Bond: Slatch For Yesterday"

FYC: "James Bond: Slatch For Yesterday" - Another thrilling realist outing for the world's favourite spy, as he spends four days puking and shitting himself in a Mumbai hotel room after getting heat-exhaustion, culminating in a tense four hour wait for a delivery boy to give him a SIM card from a cell phone that once may have been borrowed by a rogue Pakistani ISS agent. But back in the UK, will Q be able to work out which of the numbers on the call log belongs to the terrorists, or will he simply supply all four hundred numbers to the USA and have them order the Indians to just round everyone up for rendition to Gitmo?
