Ben Affleck‘s third feature-length film, the terrifically suspenseful dramatic thriller “Argo,” is the second picture to use Warner Bros.’ 1970s logo in 2012. And like “Magic Mike,” the Soderbergh film that employed the same logo earlier this year, it’s an augur of what’s to come, announcing a tone, mood and millieu that is imported straight from that era. Sporting a love for movies on his sleeve, Affleck’s film gives nods to the smart, entertaining and engaging thrillers from the ’70s — “All the President’s Men,” “Three Days of the Condor,” et al. — and playfully with B-movie science-fiction pictures of the era without ever trying to lean too hard into any specific homage.
