GT,

I saw Argo. I've always found that Ben Affleck guy incredibly irritating, so the movie was much better than I expected. I've always been a huge fan of Alan Arkin, who basically gave this movie a living center, so that helped. But I'm sure you know that certain key parts of this "true story" were sexed up in order to make something more resembling a traditional Hollywood cliffhanger. The penultimate scene with the plane on the runway, in particular, made me guffaw. It reminded me of that Afflac commercial where the duck tries to keep up with the plane taking off. Affleck, Afflac, let's call the whole thing off.
