"Argo provides the uninitiated Westerner with a crash course in the nature of the Iranian people as..."

“Argo provides the uninitiated Westerner with a crash course in the nature of the Iranian people as if out of some kind of hawkish fairy tale. Not just the regime, the people. In Argo, somewhere amid the exciting escape of six sympathetic American victims, we are treated to hordes of hysterical, screaming, untrustworthy, irrational, bearded and lethal antagonists. Some of them are pivotal characters that advance the plot. Others are just bystanders in seething crowds. It doesn’t seem to matter. The point is, these are the villains. Or more specifically, the Iranians. All of them. There is not one positive Iranian subject in the entire story.”

- Jian Ghomeshi: Argo is crowd-pleasing, entertaining – and unfair to Iranians.

There you go. Precisely why I could only roll my eyes at the movie.

I’m trying to get myself ready for more films featuring Iranians as villains for a long time.

It was a big step for the movie to even mention the CIA coup, but it quickly devolved into propaganda. Was not a fan.

The Fall of D’Souza’s Star?

The Fall of D’Souza’s Star? :

derasso:

HA HA.

The evangelical magazine WORLD is reporting that Dinesh D’Souza, whose book The Roots of Obama’s Rage was the basis for his anti-Obama movie 2016, showed up at a Christian conference last month with his fiancé. He shared a hotel room with the young woman, but, he assured a conference organizer in Clinton-esque fashion, “nothing happened.”

So you figure that conservative Christians might overlook an innocent, pre-marital shared hotel room, right? Perhaps. The real problem is that D’Souza is still married to his wife of 20 years.

A Call to Jihad « A Node in the Network:

I know I’m a little late to offer my two cents on the Mona Eltahawy incident that occurred at the end of September, but it’s all for the best anyway. Enough people (including Mona herself) create enough Eltahawy buzz as it is, so I’d humbly propose a that we focus here on jihad.
