phosfate: Ouroboros painting closeup (You've RUINED CHRISTMAS by cybertardis)
[personal profile] phosfate
Watched Die Hard last night, in preparation for a story I'm theoretically writing. Apart from Alan Rickman's rather delightful scenery chewing (om nom nom), it was a tedious piece of bloated crap. I'm glad I didn't pay theater money to see it back in the day, since it would only have helped to kill my love of movies that much sooner. Also, hi there James Shigeta, you are always awesome.

I did like the bit where Bruce, Alan, and stupid exec are all on the phone, and Bruce is trying to save exec's life and exec is too stupid to figure it out.

I can't help but thinking that if Bruce hadn't been there, the robbers would have stolen their crap, blown up some shit, and left. Much lower body count and less property damage.

Still, a more watchable holiday movie than The Christmas Shoes.

All right, Nicholas, what else is on the list?

Though I do agree that Danny's taste in movies is tremendously terrible (Bad Boys II?), Die Hard has many fine qualities if you're willing to turn your brain off.

THAT WAS AWESOME!
(and pretty much all you need to watch, in lieu of the movies themselves)

It is indeed awesome! The ultra-condensed summaries are great. I can imagine this being Danny Butterman's favorite music video ever.

You know that Danny LOVES that song totally unironically. It's number 1 on his iPod.

Nicholas is going to make Danny do a Children of Kastor marathon to make amends.

Danny only thinks Nicholas hasn't watched a lot of movies or TV. He's about to have his assumptions corrected. (Danny will retaliate with Sherlock Holmes in Miami)
