The overall competence and professionalism of all the characters in the original movie is one of those pleasant idiosyncrasies you never see in action or sci-fi movies.

It's so bizarre that a bunch of these characters would be in the same jobs and same relationships as 25 years ago. Then again, it's bizarre in a small-town, Lynchian sense… so I'm pumped!

No, no, this isn't the Hollywood adaptation of the board game Life. That was Tree of Life.

I watched that movie with a bunch of people while way too high. It was an… unsettling experience.

"there was an entire race of sexy space ladies who work as exotic dancers,"
—Except for the ones who worked as archeologists, counselors, researchers, politicians, administrative assistants, and commandoes.

I consider instant nuclear death one of the perks of living near a city center. Doomsday peppers, on the other hand, would have enough food to die slowly of leukemia.

Personally, I love how little music there is when exploring, but I tend to prefer the "quiet of nature" anyway.

When I was a little kid, I was scared of the moonman, so it all fits together in my universe.

I watched The Rock a lot when I was 10-11 and haven't seen it since. This article is making me think of all the stuff in that movie that seemed so credible and veritable to pre-adolescent me (the melting skin, the green pearls of VX, the gas-spewing baby doll) now just sound so dumb in retrospect.

Let's just say he read the screenplay and it moved him…

The real Thoreau also spent the summer farming along the pond and the winter surveying the depth of the pond as a paid job, so the comparisons to pampered royalty seem a bit strange.

Any chance we could get James Franco to direct and co-star?

It did always bother me a bit that we never know why McClane doesn't trust him. I wouldn't call it a "plot hole" (because that term implies his decision doesn't make sense in the universe of the movie, which it does). It's more that the script/visuals never explains his reasoning, which is unusual for an action movie…

Does Spencer's character not count as a magical negro because that character is God?

Old Testament God is like an 80's movie cop. They might not be pretty or generate good press, but his methods get things done.

God shack baby!

Did you use original XBoxes for the foundation? I hear they make great load-bearing support.
