[arg_discuss] ARG movies?

[Geneviève Cardin]

The only thing that seems to look like what you're looking for, as I  
recall, is a one hour episode of the TV show Nub3rs that I saw on CBS  
in 2007.
Only missing few minutes to be consider as a movie ;)

The Cube was not really based on ARG, but if you have spare time, you  
might want to take a look at it.
