Anybody Else Think This Whole Thing Is Playing Out Like A Novel Or A Movie?.....

[global1]

I just saw the movie Argo a couple of weeks ago. This story - since the bombs went off on Monday at the Marathon - seems to be playing out like a novel or movie to me. I wonder if Ben Affleck is looking to buy the rights of this story?

1. "Vantage Point" from 2008.

I mentioned that earlier this week.

6. I actually thought that too, with the multiple cameras at the bombing scene. nt

2. Like that movie the fugitive..

"search every outhouse doghouse hen house"

3. Probably the families of those murdered don't feel that way.

4. I've been thinking about Affleck doing the movie from the start. (nt)

5. We don't know reality from drama anymore

--movies predict types of mayhem (& inspire perps) while real mayhem gets made into movies. It's all circular. This is a culture where violence is normal, even expected.

7. Um...no.

My neighborhood is locked down. I have an infant in the house. The helicopters are right overhead.

If it's a movie, it fucking sucks.

10. I hope you can stay as safe as you can.

8. One thing I want to know is how he got away so easily in the SUV?

Was there no cop anywhere near a patrol car to go after him??

9. No, because real people have died, been maimed and injured, and lots of people are

still in danger as long as the other suspect is on the loose.

11. No, this is real life

But you can bet it will be a movie years from now.
