For a review.. by Aeghast	Nov 25th, 2008 11:10:06 AM
..it certainly don't say much!
Since the actual interviews are coming out by skimn	Nov 25th, 2008 11:13:34 AM
on DVD any day now, instead of a cross promotional item, why not get that and skip the re-enactment.
Sounds good and thanks for the Election Video link... by Pdorwick	Nov 25th, 2008 11:57:07 AM
...I didn't know it even existed. Hilarious. Oh, Apollo 13 was brilliant.
Impeachment by DennisMM	Nov 25th, 2008 12:26:06 PM
He was threatened with impeachment. He resigned because he knew he faced impeachment and almost certain conviction. He was not actually impeached. The only two presidents to have been impeached, Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton, both were acquitted. That's if my memory, deprived of caffeine, is working.

in the trailer. just an odd bit of trivia.

You're totally right. I believe that the Judiciary Committee approved articles of impeachment but Nixon resigned prior to the full House voting on them. I'm looking forward to this movie even though no fan of Ron Howard am I. I remember listening to an interview with Frost on NPR about his Nixon interview and I was completely fascinated. Hopefully, this film will deliver to my expectations.

Just kiddin'
I missed that short in the election - by Archive	Nov 25th, 2008 05:32:47 PM
- that's great! Kudos to Ron!
Beautiful Mind by drewlicious	Nov 25th, 2008 07:43:04 PM
I just watched it for the first time in at least three years. It holds up surprisingly well. First, you had two great performances from two terrific leads. Then you had creative direction that gave the audience an idea as to how the mans mind worked. And I wished I didn't anything about the film before it came out because his mental illness would have been a complete shock. The only flaw to that was the device he thought he had in his wrist, that would have been a pretty big tell.
Yup, on my Must See list... by holden_oz	Nov 25th, 2008 07:46:54 PM
Very cool Latauro, (where does that name come from, by the way) I'm convinced and pretty much agree with your assesment on everything you've said here RE: Howard. Although, I AM one of the few that didn't see genius in Arrested Development.
This movie was fantastic...Langella is hard to beat for BA by FuckMichaelBay	Nov 25th, 2008 08:05:36 PM
Never would have guessed this was an Opie Cunningham film.
Hey Latauro! by Sgt.Steiner	Nov 25th, 2008 08:39:45 PM
"They're throwing themselves into the road!" Just saw "Withnail and I" for the first time, yesterday. For the first time in a long time, I had the urge to watch a film again, immediately.
Nixon was impeached??!!! by JackIsLost	Nov 25th, 2008 08:59:52 PM
This is by far the most stunning revelation of this review.
absolutely right on Apollo 13 by BadMrWonka	Nov 26th, 2008 12:12:56 AM
it's a rare director that can make a film that's so accessible, yet virtually flawless in it's conception. like shawshank and handful of others, it proves that thankfully if you make a film well enough, anyone can enjoy it, even idiots who normally only watch shitty movies.
oh, and Latauro by BadMrWonka	Nov 26th, 2008 12:14:20 AM
I really hope you read the talkback for your Australia review. aussies were eviscerating you, and then even more aussies (and one really awesome dude from Seattle) came to your defense, and ACTUALLY GOT A TALKBACKER TO APOLOGIZE AND RECANT HIS STATEMENT. an AICN first, I daresay...
For some reason... by Happyfat73	Nov 26th, 2008 12:40:28 AM
Your review makes me crave a Camberwell carrot.
Impeach THIS! by Latauro	Nov 26th, 2008 06:16:08 AM
I've been studiously avoiding my talkbacks for a while now (it helps peace of mind), but my girlfriend told me about the guy who apologised. Not believing her, I eventually skimmed through it until I found it. Unbelievable, huh? (And I'm aware of the irony in talking about not reading talkbacks after replying to one I've clearly read. But this one's short and seems relatively civil, even though I clearly got the Nixon/impeachment thing wrong.) Steiner: such a great film. I, too, am looking forward to a repeat viewing. holden_oz: I'll tell the "Latauro" story another time. It's a good one, too.
After that interview, didn't Frost spend by Sammy Jankis	Nov 26th, 2008 08:07:30 AM
the rest of his career interviewing a green plant sitting in a corner? REMEMBER SAMMY JANKIS!
David Frost by Prawnee	Nov 26th, 2008 08:41:51 AM
went on to host a crappy quiz show Through The Keyhole.
I know! by BadMrWonka	Nov 26th, 2008 09:28:21 PM
it's unheard of to actually recant previous statements and have the ability to admit you were wrong in an AICN talkback. it's like a die landing on it's corner in a craps game.
Who cares when Latauro's an idiot? by Proman1984	Nov 27th, 2008 07:05:33 PM
Why trust someone's review when his tastes suck. And I can prove it. 1. He likes Ron howard as a director. 2. He doesn't like Crash. Both opinions are wrong.
