You know, it's stuff like this that makes me miss the dark days of the Cold War, where you could count on TASS to say something like, "This week's box office results for Mr. Mom is proof that the corrupt American corporate system is failing and the Worker will reign triumphant."

I had read just this past Friday that Israel had started to have more theaters show the Iranian film as there was more and more interest as it emerged as a competitor.

The Cold War... Things were so much simpler then.

How many Israeli films are showing at the local Tehran multiplex right now?

Iranian cinema's produced some really great films.  I particularly recommend Taste of Cherry and The Apple.  They give the impression that Iranian censors are generally too stupid to actually understand the films they're watching.

Everybody here is is more than cognizant that there's a substantial segment of Iranian educated, well-heeled society that the mullahs, for a variety of reasons, look the other way.
The big question is, what's that segment of society doing anything about fomenting change within Iran?  The answer is: nothing.  Which is why Iran will never change.

Well they did try something a couple of years ago and thousands were killed by the regime.

But I'm not making a political point about Iran.  There's a lot of good films from that country is all.  Worth watching and some are extraordinary for having made it out of a regime like that at all.

Yeah, "something", alright.  A few dozen students being grumpy.  Yahoo.

I thought the Onion was supposed to be a comedy website that made shit up.

That would explain the lack of success.

Anyway, posting will discontinue now or shortly.  See you guys on the other side (of the city, not the world).
