    Argo

    Have not seen it but there is some chatter about this one. Probably rent it this weekend. See if any Americans escape the embassy this time.

    I saw it. Not bad but, Hollywood being what it is, They played fast and loose with the real story. I was sort of surprised it got an Oscar nomination myself.

    Yup...... Hollywood in this movie sort of considers Canada as real insignificant in that operation to rescue U.S. embassy personelle ....... a little askew on the real historical events :-?

    More than a little askew. If anyone is interested, here's a link to the real story. Be forewarned: it's at cia.gov, so you may want to transfer all your porn to a thumb drive first.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Well, sure, but you know where they get that porn, right? Right.

    Oh, and lest I forget:

    Argo fuck yourself!

    Of course they did. You're surprised?

    It's a movie based on the real story. It's not an historical re-enactment.
