Tehran dispatch: The regime shows us movies


Can the Hobbits save Iran? The Khamenei regime in Iran is trying to use US movies to subdue the protests.  This article from Salon details how a The Lord of the Rings marathon is being broadcast on Iran's state television channel, Channel 2.  I don't know... tough choice... lord of the rings, or freedom.  At least the regime picked a trilogy that lasts over 9 hours long.  Maybe they will play all of the Harry Potter movies in a row next... that is something I would give up some of my rights to see. watch here.
