So, after two consecutive days of trying to find a seat to watch the much anticipated MI4 I managed, with some friends, to book tickets and go watch the movie last night.

In the Arabian, oops!, I mean the Persian Gulf there is an interesting inter-Arab fooling around that stems from the language itself. Well, not really!
