I remember doing the same thing, and nothing ever lived up to it. As much as I admire the man, and enjoy individual scenes in a lot of his movies, I've only ever cared for RITB, Drunken Master, and (don't hate me for this) Rush Hour.

Yeah, I love the Long Kiss Goodnight, but Geena Davis doesn't really work as the action type. Stick to catching baseballs and haunting houses.

It is interesting how it's so much of an action franchise now, while the original show dealt in headgames. But the first movie really had very little action to it. Some panic at the beginning, and then the top of the train at the very end. In between, it's all headgames.

I got a Community notice for this?

I would, however, like for them to explain the amount of time he spent putting gasoline on a bridge in the shape of a bat, just to have Gordon light a match for it.

I would actually prefer no scenes from the trailer be in the movie, TBH. There are so many previews that show the entire movie + spoil the ending, I can't watch them anymore. Tell me what it's about, give some examples, and let me go see it. Don't tell me how it ends and ask me to drop $50 on movie night.

It's not badassery though, it's just idiocy on their parts. I see them more as writing scapegoats than anything else. If you need an out on a plotline or an excuse to do something that doesn't make sense, well then, those dumb ol' cops are at it again!

Eh, I just never found them humorous. I can see how they're used for tension breaks in the film, but it doesn't work for me. I think there's a better way to do it than that method. Maybe Die Hard did it first and everyone replicated it, which is why it's so tiresome for me?

I specifically remember watches, like rolexes or something, being a giveaway — it's likely some other action film. I do remember the boots, and the quarters, and the marked tape on machine guns in Die Harder.

That's why I don't demand answers — It's never as fun as the mystery. It allowed me to enjoy the final season, unlike most. And at least every question was actually answered. Other than, you know, how they get from one spot on the island to the other so quickly.

I prefer to let NTSF:SD:SUV:: answer all of my 24-related questions.

I'd get rid of the idiot police chief/fbi drama. Just make them intelligent but not able to enter the building due to hostages. Have some cops killed, and have them rely on McClane. And get rid of the doofuses in the helicopter too. Other than that, I think everything that happens inside the building is perfect.

Didn't they do this in one of the other Die hard films? Either a watch or something like it that gave them away? I swear I remember it from somewhere.

After all this time?

Didn't they already do a die hard episode?

Have you ever listened to the My Brother, My Brother, and Me podcast? "I shot a kid!" is the best quote ever.

Exactly. All he'd have to do is hand him an empty gun, and if he doesn't try to shoot you in the first couple minutes, you can hand him some bullets next.

Similar to how people complained about survivors on Lost being able to go from one location on the island to the other so quickly. I mean, I guess if you WANT 6 episodes of people trudging through a forest with nothing happening, they could do that. Or, you know, just focus on the actual relevant parts.

We really do.

It's the same for the "let's read every behind the scenes article and demand 4 different 3 minute trailers and OH GOD YOU DIDN'T USE A SCENE FROM THE TRAILER WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN????!!!" ….culture.
