I was just pretty mad that the roommate wasn't real--I really liked
that guy!  Singuarly creepy when you look back on the entire movie.  I
knew he was schizophrenic going into the see the movie, but I hadn't
expected THAT!  One has to wonder if he ever went into the Pentagon in
the first place [the numbers on the wall bit]?  I think that part was
true.  Am glad it won Best Picture last night (with Crowe as Best
Actor as well--he actually deserved it this year), but I was torn
between ABM & LOTR!
