Finally, after several weeks since Avatar came out to the movie theaters, I went and saw it tonight in IMAX 3D. If I want to summarize my experience about the movie which just passed the record of Titanic in selling tickets (money-wise not number of people who saw each), I would say: 1) Great movie for those who love action Sci-fi movies. 2) Good use of technology and computer animations. 3) Good one to see in 3D! My only complains would be about: 1) If ...
In my last post, I talked about the documentary that BBC has produced about Iran. Today, I found another one which is also quite interesting, even more than the one from BBC. This new one is produced by Arte TV (in French language) and is done by a French reporter who has traveled to Iran in January 2009 to film the daily life in Iran. Her interaction with people in the street and the reactions make the documentary interesting and worth-to-watch!
During Kouchner's visit to Lebanon, he talked about Clotilde Reiss, the French citizen who is arrested in Iran with espionage accusation. Kouchner said: "Do you think my country would be so naive and shorthanded as to send a 23-year-old woman to spy in Iran? That's stupid, it's not possible." Well, Monsieur Kouchner, although we all know the reason behind the detention of the poor French student is Iran's reaction to Sarkozy's attack on Iran during the past few weeks, and that the crazy mindless regime in Iran is blackmailing the international community as it feels that the world needs to finally sit at the table and negotiate with them for their nuclear program, it's NAIVE to put Clotilde's life in danger by saying stupid comments like that. First: you are admitting that you have spies in Iran. That gives the best excuse ...
In reply to Christiane Amanpour's question from Ahmadinezhad regarding the safety of Mir Hossein Moussavi, Ahmadinezhad compared the protesters to soccer match fans that "may become excited and there may be confrontation between the people and the police force. People who violate traffic regulations will be fined by the police no matter who he is. These are not problems." Well, he gave a good example although he missed one point: This election was like a soccer match that Ahmadinezhad's team played 15 instead of 11 against the opponent team who just had 5 players as they received red cards from the referee who was supporting Ahmadinezhad's team! Then, a fan who sees that this winner is going to represent his country in the world cup SHOULD get angry! Yes, fans will not tolerate such an unfair match!
If you have an interest in middle east and you would like to know a bit more about the country which because of its nuclear activities, is the topic of lot of political negotiations these days, then you should not miss the documentary that BBC has produced about Iran. The program is divided into three parts: "The man who changed the world", "The Pariah State", and "The Nuclear Confrontation." Thanks to one of YouTube's users, you can watch all the videos if you are not living in UK.
