Minor correction, in the Q&A, RE switches to ER midway through the article.

If I had to pick one problem with Nolan, it's the overstuffing in the B and C (and D! TDKR has 4!) plots. And almost always because has these A-list and top-grade character actors in the parts.

I'd say it's a little more heroic *not* to get killed.

Just leaving a general recommendation for pcpartpicker.com - lots of great build guides, bargain hunts, etc.

If we're forced to reduce The Simpsons in the comedy pantheon to those who influnced it and those it influenced, I think it's pretty clear that the "best" gags should be the ones whose core is a darkness regarding any of the beloved cultural institutions of America - religion, public schools, capitalism, democracy,…

Impression quality aside, how fucking fun was David Bowie?

Hoping he pulls a Hiroo Onoda and disappears into the Phillippines mountainside.

Now do airplane food.

*Ahem* that's Brock fuckin' Sampson. Get your shit together, D.

Pulled out a bit of Hitch there.

Also the cut to the board is kind of a genius inversion on those asinine static closeup match cuts most movies have to do to show off an Important Plot Point.

I think that's more for the audience - like a "Don't open the door!" moment in a horror movie - only to find out our hero is totally smarter than us.

I think they establish through the gun that McClane knew what was up but was trying to buy time for the cops on the ground, etc.

Midway perfected the auto-balance mechanic in NFL Blitz.

They made the original for $3 million, even with a significant upswing in Hollywood costing I imagine this movie was made for $15-$20 million and is hoping for a long-term play with streaming, etc.
