You're gonna be bothered by how cool I am.

Apologies in advance for my semi-ignorant comments on today's film - and probably Friday's and Saturday's, for that matter. This is an incredibly detailed story about a very complicated event that many, many people remember very well, which happened before I was even born. And as such, I find it difficult to follow, despite William Goldman's exquisite screenplay. I'm not terribly familiar with all the players (even though the movie heavily condenses the book's cast of characters), and I find myself pausing, Googling, and rewinding a lot to help myself keep things straight. And even then it's questionable. So most of what follows is kind of general, because I don't particularly like it when I get shown up on facts. :P


All the President's Men

( Nothing's riding on this except the, uh, first amendment to the Constitution, freedom of the press, and maybe the future of the country. Not that any of that matters, but if you guys f*** up again, I'm going to get mad. )
