First off, this movie is amazing on several levels. The acting is incredible (largely for the understated nature of all the performances), the story is rich and layered, and the setting feels perfect and immersive. Secondly, this movie is for smart people. I'm pretty sure I didn't successfully work out what was actually going on and I also feel like there were several layers above and below that I never caught on to. Briefly summarizing, Tinker, Tailor... is about tracking down a double agent in the British Secret Intelligence in the early 1970s. Not much action, not even a lot of talking, and particularly lots of time-jumping... but it works well and probably makes sense if you're able to keep track of the shifting time settings and characters and what everyone has said and done. I would heartily recommend this movie if you're feeling like a deep and intelligent thriller and you don't even need to see it in a theater. This movie will work just fine at home. News

If we lived on a planet with 79 hour days, would we all still be complaining that there aren't enough hours in the day? #hypotheticallytrue

@meekakitty I still don't understand how people can dial wrong numbers anymore. Actually, I didn't know people still dialed numbers.

@CRRaysHead90 And that's the point. If your govt can deprive that group of equal rights, then they can deprive YOU of equality as well.

@CRRaysHead90 It's about equality, and arbitrarily depriving one group of a right deprives that group of any happiness derived therein.

@CRRaysHead90 The right to happiness. I'm pretty sure it's in the Declaration of Independence. http://t.co/kw5JwxIA

@CRRaysHead90 By arbitrarily deciding that one group doesn't deserve basic human rights, you must then forfeit your own human rights.

Does anyone else think SBC's "The Dictator" seems an awful lot like a more offensive "Coming to America"?
