Sure, if you didn't hate Die Hard.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
If you hated the greatest action movie of all time, I have nothing for you.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I can see the argument for both, but there comes a time when you have to choose one side or the other and in this, I have to firmly plant atop the Nakatomi Plaza.

Can someone incarcerate Uwe Boll next?
Seriously.
Free John McTiernan!! Somebody hand me a picket...I'm makin' a sign.
The Thomas Crown Affair. Best remake ever. And one of the most interesting director's commentaries.
Scooter Libby gets off and John McTiernan gets 4 months.
It's a topsy-turvy world we live in.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The Thomas Crown Affair. Best remake ever.
Best Magritte homage ever.

Best Magritte homage ever.
Word.
Although, it got muddied with the 'let's play ball' line, which McTiernan doesn't quite adequately explain. It came down to 'I liked the line.'

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Die Hard rules. Rules, I tell you.
