If you don't know the meaning of the title of my post, then you haven't seen the movie "Argo". This past Saturday Kathryn, Laura, Allie, her friend Jared, her friend Michelle and I all met up at the Byrd Theater (Richmond's awesome $2 movie theater) to see the movie Argo. Now, if you haven't seen it, I would STRONGLY suggest you going to see it. The movie was just GREAT! Kathryn and Allie had both seen the movie before, but none of the rest of us had. We were in serious suspense for most of the movie, it was pretty crazy. Laura tried to persuade Kathryn to tell her the ending, but luckily Kathryn wouldn't budge, so we just sat there trying to figure out how it would go, with not much luck.
IMDB has summarized the plot: In 1979, the American embassy in Iran was invaded by Iranian revolutionaries and several Americans are taken hostage. However, six manage to escape to the official residence of the Canadian Ambassador and the CIA is eventually ordered to get them out of the country. With few options, exfiltration expert Tony Mendez devises a daring plan: to create a phony Canadian film project looking to shoot in Iran and smuggle the Americans out as its production crew.
Needless to say, it's pretty great! Afterwards we hung out at New York Deli with a bunch of people that Allie and Michelle knew from law school. I think they all graduated college in 2010 or 2011 which made me feel just a LITTLE bit old! But that's ok, we had a great time anyway!
