Rich-ard Nix-on

And here I was thinking that I'd never get the chance to use that image.

Anyways, I went to see Frost/Nixon this evening, and it was quite good. It's a pretty straightforward historical docudrama about David Frost's attempt to "give Nixon the trial he never had". It was kind of ironic in that the entire movie is about Frost's struggle to "convict" Nixon as opposed to "humanizing" him, but that's exactly what this movie does, it's full of pet the dog moments for Nixon (including a very literal rendition of that trope). It was also rather timely in how Richard Nixon's views on presidential crimes mirror those of another (vice-)presidential Dick.
