Trivia
The Coen Brothers (Joel Coen & Ethan Coen) and their long-time composer, Carter Burwell, decided that the movie should have a bombastic music score that suggested 'meaning without meaning' and chose Jerry Goldsmith's percussive music for Seven Days in May (1964) as its chief inspiration.
Quotes
Linda Litzke:
You should put up a note in the ladies locker room.
Chad Feldheimer:
Put up a note? "Highly classified shit found: Signal intelligence shit, CIA shit?" Hello, anybody lose their secret CIA shit? I don't think so!
Goofs
