Dave White on Live Free Or Die Hard:
What I love most about this, and movies that steal from it, is that plausibility is dispensed with early on, and there's never such thing as Too Much when it comes to piling on the threat or destroying property. It's like, "Oh, I'm dangling over a pit of molten metal? And you're shooting at me with a machine gun while I dangle? Well, check this out: I just happen to be dangling in the exact spot where the secret lever that releases liquid nitrogen lives! Now it is you who are doomed!" That's what I came to see, and that's what I got, and now I'm happy. (No, that example isn't actually in the movie.)
I enjoy imagining Bruce Willis saying, "Now it is you who are doomed!"
I think Dave White and I would get along.
I love that movie as well. Just so wonderfully random.
Tantra, baby.
Also, Olyphant is the sports guy on Indie 103.1, the local fringe-ish radio station which is home to such way cool shows as Jonesy's Jukebox, a free form daily romp with Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols which kicks ass. Did I mention that David Lynch is the weatherman for the station? You gotta love that.
You don't need a backwards-talking midget to know which way the wind blows.
Indie 103.1 has sports? And weather??? I knew the Suicide Girls had their own show.
Not only does it have sports, but Crispin Glover filled in for Olyphant recently. It's a three-minute segment each day or something like that. Olyphant does a sports rundown, and then jokes around with the morning guy, usually. Olyphant = funny guy.
Ahh. In the mornings I listen to NPR. Maybe I should change that.
Since this is the movie thread I'm bringing us back on track by commenting on the bizarre fax I got from Paramount this morning. Apparently half the print of Transformers is going to arrive in a can with a combination lock. We won't be able to retrieve the combo for the lock until noon on July 2nd.
That's so you can't learn the sooper-seekrit spoiler:
Optimus Prime is a chick!
