Iran So Far Away: 2026

The child rapist war criminal says no one will control the Strait of Hormuz.

There's a book?
Further googling….no. I know I heard this before, but my memory turned it into a book:


  • The Screenwriter’s Original Vision (10,000 Years): In Danny Rubin's original screenplay, Phil was meant to be trapped for 10,000 years, and he explicitly tells Rita he has been waiting for her that long.
 
I like it ambiguous.

But I also like the interpretation that Ned is the devil and the ending is a monstrous moral and theological tragedy. After some inhumanely long time of fighting for his truth, Phil is exhausted and willingly damns himself to win Rita and the respect of the towns people -- superficial external meaning rather than his real Being. What Camus meant as philosophical suicide.

Phil only breaks the loop by consigning himself to a very comfortable but nonetheless tragic hell. He has given away his (deeply flawed but immortal) Soul, the one precious gift God gave him uniquely.
