Hubby and I went to see Argo tonight.....

We both thought it was a good movie. I think it's really sad that the American's couldn't take credit for all they did, including Pres. Carter.

At the end of the movie when everyone jumps up to leave, the credits were rolling and they started showing scenes from the movie the coincided with real life and everyone stopped dead in their tracks and total silence as they watched. I was quite impressed that they (the movie goers) did that.

It was a well made film. And yeah, keep your ass in the seat until you see the title card at the end.

Big round of applause as the credits rolled when I saw it too. Be sure to hang around to the end - it's worth it.

"Good Will Hunting" came out and I thought that Ben Afflek was just coasting on Matt Damon's coattails.

No more.
