Fun fact: he is not credited in that movie, for some weird reason. Neither are Tom Sizemore or Phillip Baker Hall.

Right - even if you didn't know the details of that attack, we saw the meeting with the camera in plain view, whereas the CIA people thought the video was taken by a mole. It was supposed to be clear that they were being set up the whole time, I thought.

Coming from three weeks in the future (thanks for not releasing this in D.C., Columbia Pictures!) to say that I basically agree with you. Once the SEAL team was initially shot at, they basically had to feel like anything that moved was a threat. It's a testament to their restraint that the kids and most of the women…

I don't really know Naomi Woolf that well, @avclub-07563a3fe3bbe7e3ba84431ad9d055af:disqus , but I thought the Ulysses influence was super strong in NW. Definitely my favorite book of the year, not that I read too many.

Columbus hang out thread! My buddies were fit models for Abercrombie, meaning that their bodies were Abercrombie's definitions of a medium and a large. They also reported the same kind of weirdness.

Yeah, I always agreed with Dave that shooting slave owners dead without any provocation is hilarious and found it baffling that that concept didn't work for some audiences. I haven't seen Django yet, but during the conservative/Drudge freakout over this movie, I was immediately reminded of that Chappelle skit.

Adding to @avclub-d58892501363fc735d3c12592162e3c2:disqus 's point here, natural gas drilling methods emit a lot of the natural gas at the well. Methane (which is what natural gas is) actually has a much larger greenhouse effect than carbon dioxide (which is what natural gas becomes after it's burnt). Even if less…

It's something to do with Jack the Ripper but it weirds me out because there's an Okkervil River song (maybe Girl in Port?) that has very similar language and it can't be a coincidence. Care to enlighten us?

I noticed (D.C. represent!) that the station was supposed to be either Chinatown or Fort Totten given which lines were indicated - I'm guessing Chinatown, given the exteriors of the surveilled meet-up and the fact that even hardened terrorists don't hang out around Fort Totten if they can avoid it.

@avclub-09003437660bdbc6e3db945754c2c844:disqus It's not exactly DuPont, but there's West End Cinema in Washington Circle/Foggy Bottom area. I saw Argo there a few weeks ago and given the lineup they had out when I was there, I wouldn't be surprised to see a Leone series over the summer or something there.
