    Barris was a very colorful and controversial figure. He even claimed to have been recruited to be, and was, a hit man for the CIA. A movie was made about that claim; the title of which escapes me.

    Odd condemnation coming from someone using William S. Burroughs for a profile picture.

    Quote He even claimed to have been recruited to be, and was, a hit man for the CIA. A movie was made about that claim; the title of which escapes me.
    Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002) -- Very interesting movie IMO by George Clooney, someone who seems to tries to disclose some things in some of his movies.
