The Casino dubbing is absolutely hysterical.  They can sell that as a DVD all by itself.

I get the whole anti-communism thing dr. Zarnak, but they are all ok with  just killing a 747 full of people like it's no big deal!

Speaking of horrible sequels, Lethal Weapon 4 is downright terrible.  With that horrible "We're family!!" ending.

Yeah, I get that.  But that still doesn't explain how Grant wound up being the guy to lead the mission to kill Stewart.

Powell: "Your'e not pissing in someone else's pool again are you?"
Mclane: "Yeah, and I'm fresh out of chlorine."

"Simon Says" became Lethal Weapon 3 script that eventually became Die Hard 3.

Yeah, and the crash was just so well done and frightening.  You don't see something like that anymore in a big-budget summer action flick.  Heck, you're lucky if you can still get a rated R.

Yes, this articulates why for me, Die Hard 2 is much better.  If felt, I don't know, just "tighter"….

Gary Busey and Tommy Lee Jones just have killer chemistry in that movie and some great dialogue.

As much as I defend Die Hard 2, the movie is just ridiculously stupid (but Vengeance is just as dumb).

Ebert also loved it as well.

Another great thing about Die Hard 2 is that the first time you watch the movie you think there is no damn way Stewart will successfully crash that plane.  When Mclane goes out to the runway you just know he will save that flight and then BOOM!  Like 200 people dead!!   Mclane has failed.  This was some dark stuff for

Nah…Sadler plus Amos (and even Franz) is way better than Irons.   Han's brother?? Come on!  That was stupid!

Now here comes the obligatory "Die Hard 3" was way better nonsense.  You know, because Vengeance had such an air tight logical plot!

I have read every damn thing about the making of Pulp Fiction and never came across that before.  That cannot be accurate (and notice there is no direct quote from Tarantino).  Even the long oral history of Pulp in Vanity Fair or GQ (can't remember which) made no mention of that.  Pulp pre-production/casting was

The AV Club writers are trying to make it more than it is to justify writing about it at all, because they know it wil get a lot of comments.  Mainstream America loves mediocrity.

Now this Friends thread has like 700 plus comments all but guaranteeing it will go forever while the continuation of Cheers will never happen.

Yes!  This is an excellent point.  Who the hell would cast Rhea Perlman now a days??? It would never happen.

I'm not as harsh as you on this show but it is sort of amusing that anyone could call this very mediocre sitcom a "classic."  It's hard to take the roundtable seriously when they keep referring to Seinfeld, as if Friends is anywhere near that show's level.
