Should we watch Zero Dark Thirty or Argo?

Argo has Heisenberg
I think the choice is clear

Zero Dark Thirty.
The wife should get the choice.

Of the two, I’ve only seen Argo. I enjoyed it a lot.

To be honest, I haven’t seen both and I vote for Cannibal Holocaust

I would usually agree with you @chyna, but I feel bad for Jon. We took a trip to the ER today to get a piece of metal out of his eye. He says he’s fine, but I still feel bad for the guy. but I really want to see Zero Dark Thirty. Ah, first world problems.

You had me at Heisenberg @Michael_Huntington. I forgot he was in Argo.

Depends on the mood you’re in. Zero Dark Thirty is an intense docudrama and is extremely realistic, while Argo is very entertaining and Hollywoodized.

@chyna . . . i was sooo unaware that boxers were sexist.

I’m watching Argo right this minute. I’m finding it excellent, but the topic is very upsetting to me.

I liked them both but Argo was a better movie.

@Blondesjon Well, since you had that eye thing, maybe it should be your choice. Just this once though.

You can watch the other one tomorrow night, right?

@chyna . . . You had me at, ‘it should be your choice’.

@Jeruba . . . A completely legitimate argument, but, with that logic, how do we determine who is ‘right’?

for the record ‘right’ means my choice

@Jeruba Tomorrow night is Dexter and Breaking Bad. There’s no time. It will have to wait until next weekend.

Ah. I get it. I didn’t realize this was a sporting competition.

Ok, then:

1. Who picked the last movie?
2. Who won the last argument?
3. Who needs points the most?
4. Who’s going to be the sorest loser?
5. Who’s going to be the pissiest winner?

Give point values to the answers and add ‘em up.

So who won? What movie did you watch?

We haven’t yet. Right now the little girl has Diary Of A Wimpy Kid on.

i sooo want a loded diper t-shirt

Argo of the two of them. After all, you know how Zero Dark Thirty comes out.

@chyna We are cheering up the daughter right now. We just spent thirty minutes looking at funny t-shirts at noisebot.com. We still have time for Argo, I hope. It’s not one of those 3 hour movies, is it?

Argo is a better movie. My favorite from last year was Life of Pi, but I really did enjoy Argo.

So—how did this Saturday-night drama turn out?

No you should avoid this kind of propaganda like the plague

Yeah, listen to @ragingloli and you’ll end up watching this instead of last years best picture winner.

@filmfann
Which would be 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times better.

Argo is a steaming pile of shite, that should help, but probably won’t.

@Jeruba Our daughter needed some cheering up, so we decided to wait until this weekend to watch the movies. I’m hoping we can fit them both in. It looks like Argo will be the first movie we watch.

Yes, I saw the other thread, @jonsblond. Hope she’s ok.

I think maybe what @ucme is trying to say is: enjoy Argo as fiction. It isn’t a documentary.

I think maybe what @Jeruba is trying to avoid is to patronise while remaining diplomatic :)

^^ Glad to see clunky, self serving attempts at amateur psychology are dealt with accordingly.
Some people truly act like petulant children on these pages.
