Art Imitates Life, Then Gets You Killed by Fanatics
There is a scene in 'Zero Dark Thirty' that is pretty unspectacular, one that in a vacuum would be forgotten as soon as the end credits roll. But there's a good chance this little scene will lead to people getting killed.
The Ravens Are God's Favorites
