Even though I knew the ending, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.<br /><br />As good as Alan Arkin was in this film, there is no way he will get the Academy Award. That will go to Tommy Lee Jones for his role in Lincoln. As a matter of fact, the whole cast of Lincoln should win an award. There is little action and a lot of talking but it is a marvelous movie. Argo, though, was my second favorite this year.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-34492266952318407182012-11-17T04:04:56.450+00:002012-11-17T04:04:56.450+00:00John,

A couple of our employees got caught up in the Iranian chaos and were imprisoned. <br /><br />Ross Perot(the CEO and once ran for US president) put together a team of employees with military background and sent them to Iran where they successfully rescued our employees - the story is chronicled in 'On Wings of Eagles', a novel by Ken Follett and a TV-miniseries. For years, we used to say that our EDS employee cards were valuable because if we ever got into trouble, Ross would come to bust us out!<br />I'm looking forward to seeing Argo!RightBrainRightLanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11363096908677487232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-57567954658860238842012-11-17T00:03:06.889+00:002012-11-17T00:03:06.889+00:00Definitely tense, John.
