    Woodward, Bernstein, Redford, Hoffman all heavily involved:

    There's so much good TV on Sunday night that I'll probably tape it and watch it later, but I'm excited to see this.

    looking forward to it. this story and flick certainly increased my fascination with journalism and politics (i was 15 in '72)... the film remains one of my all-time faves.

    DVR set. Thanks for the heads-up.
     
  7. I'm a streamer. (But I'm not the only one.) Does Discovery's stuff go up online anywhere eventually?

    It's really, really good, and I've read the book several times and seen the movie countless times. Lots of great stuff.

    Just got done watching it. Wasn't too impressed. Seemed more of a rehash than anything else. Found the segment of how Watergate would be covered today to be interesting with Twitter and cable news. The selection of "experts" including Maddow, Scarborough and Jon Stewart was curious, at best.

    Enjoyed it, though almost vomited when Ben Stein whined about how Nixon was unfairly prosecuted.

    Ben Stein didn't merely whine; he cried. It was pathetic. He seems convinced the tragedy is the way Nixon was portrayed rather than the damage he did to the country.
