Discussion for those who've seen Argo.

John Limbert was portrayed in the movie as a frustrated Foreign Service officer on the phone as the U.S. embassy was under assault. "That part of it was quite real," says Limbert. "Argo" told the story of the American embassy works that got out of Iran, what it didn't tell, ...

New Zealand Did NOT Like Argo

OofOof — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 02:58:45 GMT

Apparently in addition to Iran, New Zealand is also pissed off at Ben Affleck and Argo. Sheesh can't we all just get along? Argo may have won Best Picture at last month's Academy Awards, but it also seems to be vying for another award: most hated by other countries. After Iran announced its intention to sue filmmakers over the movie's so-called “Iranophobic” content, New Zealand is the latest nation to pile on its distaste for the feature, claiming a passing mention of the country ...

Argo Slammed by Ken Taylor, Ex-Canadian Ambassador to Iran

watching — Sat, 23 Feb 2013 18:59:14 GMT

Argo Slammed by Ken Taylor, Ex-Canadian Ambassador to Iran, as "Totally Taken Over by Americans" It's a little late to hurt Argo's Oscar chances at this point, but Ken Taylor doesn't intend to let the Ben Affleck-directed film win Best Picture in peace this Sunday. Pinpointing historical inaccuracies in this year's crop of Oscar nominees has been quite the sport these days, be it the wrong senator voting against the 13th Amendment in Lincoln or the major uproar from Washington, D.C., ...
