The White House was renovated during the Truman admin. He was a freemason and went looking for the cornerstone while it was being upgraded, but didn't find it. Considering the WH was probably around 150 years old at the time and a piano leg punched through the floor for no reason, it was time to upgrade. Now you are making me want to see what the movie was actually about.

Try catching 10 Things You Didn't Know About the Whitehouse on History channel, and also Book of Secrets: The Whitehouse also on the History channel. Both go into pretty good detail the remodeling that has been done to the Whitehouse over the years. Only the outer walls are the original building, and they don't even serve an actual purpose other than visually because just within those walls is a steel structure that was done while Truman was in office which supports it all.

Oh it's really nothing more than just a line in the movie about passage ways that were built during the Truman remodeling. The movie is basically just a bunch of terrorist north koreans attacking and taking over the Whitehouse and one man single handedly killing them all lol.

In the most recent episode of "scarletmike Catches up with the Movies" I ran through Capt. America, Thor, and the Avengers. Captain America was enjoyable, but nothing too special. Thor was...interesting but felt rather short and abrupt, like one comic book out of an entire line. I'm assuming Dark World picks up where Thor left off with that, and it seems the most promising character movie for lots more sequels. The Avengers was just a flat out enjoyable movie. While a lot of people seem to rip on movies like it where there's tons of wanton destruction and little else, I thoroughly enjoy them (Transformers movies are another example). I have no affinity for the Marvel characters, because I've never really picked up a comic book in my life, so the movies and their stories have to kind of stand on their own for me, and Avengers pulled it off. I can't wait for the 2nd one.
