Days of Yore

It was 1992 and the storyline was taut with suspense. Patriot Games was a blockbuster in the movie theaters. But that's ancient history now and Patriot Games is relegated to reruns on Sunday afternoon.

A bunch of rogue Irish terrorists sure seem quaint these days. In the movie, no one is cutting anyone's head off. No IED's. No chemical or biological weapons. Just people killing each other with good old-fashioned ak-47's. Those were the good old days. The world seems like a lot scarier than it used to be.
