If you haven't seen this, you have failed at life.

My friends complain that it's too soft on McNamara--that you want to go out and have a beer with him afterwards--but it's still really good if you ask me. Cuban Missile Crisis stuff is absolutely great.

Roachbud's earned himself a pass from all jokes at his expense for a while with this one.

isn't this that show about that natural born leader who had a lot of charisma and valid points, and acted in the best interest of an entire nation - which was too ignorant to properly thank him?

great, great film. the philip glass score is fucking brilliant.

This is an incredible inside look at McNamara's total refusal to admit to his involvement in Vietnam and take responsibility. He admits to making mistakes but his evasion at the end is nothing short of staggering.

I also love his denial over the illegality of Agent Orange. That goes for a lot of things about Vietnam...about no guidelines being present in the law. Yeah, there's no real law about bombing people with nuclear bombs either, but just because there isn't one written doesn't mean you should just jump in you fucking asshole.
