The other movie we saw in L.A., when I was fresh from being released from the hospital (and therefore too limpy for walking tours) and Amanda was fresh from having run a marathon (and therefore too limpy for walking tours), was Argo. It held my interest, as for some reason I credited the theoretical possibility that the good guys would not arrive unfailingly just in time to avert disaster and that, in the climactic scene, the bad guys would not be a second too late.
