NOTES/CORRECTIONS
- Studio 360 interview with Kimberly Peirce.
- Matty and I realize that we have a tendency to lump any 'war on terror' movie into the same category even if that's not really appropriate. For example, "Taxi To The Dark Side" is a movie about the U.S. policy on torture and not really an 'Iraq movie', though a good chunk of it does deal with Abu Ghraib.
- Matty commented that "Stop-Loss" is basically "Varsity Blues" goes to war. Am I crazy, or were the marketing folks apparently thinking the same thing? Check out the posters here and here.
- Who is Sargent Shriver? Find out here.
- A Tale of Two Pedros by Michael Atkinson.
