He did The Killing Joke this year, which is what's supposed to be his real true last hurrah, since he'd been trying to get DC to adapt it for awhile.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I miss the old Income Disposal, where I could see what digital movies or useless geek shit was on sale.

I just figured they caught Mark Hamill during one of the times he retired from voicing the Joker for good.

What about Home Alone?

I'd throw Rumble in the Bronx as a very long shot for 1995, as Jackie Chan's American mainstream breakout.

Could you stop yelling at me, please?

Jeff Jarrett was screwing TNA up long before they made it to Spike. One of their original tag teams was Richard and Rod Johnson, two men dressed in flesh-colored bodysuits, whose gimmick was that they were giant wrestling penises.

The other day, I went up to my girlfriend, I said, 'Y'know, I'd like a little pussy.' She said, 'Me too, mine's as big as a house!'

I loved that game. It's one of the few non-RPGs I own in my Sega Saturn library.

Not in a long time. I do remember that he's at a Christmas party visiting his daughter instead of his estranged wife. And that the main character knew Gruber from his time in the war.

Yea, Wilhelm von Homburg, whose personal life seemed rather interesting..

Fun Fact: Vigo the Carpathian was one of the terrorists in Hans Gruber's employ. He was the terrorist that got blown up when John McClane shoved his homemade explosive down the elevator shaft.

He was great in the Money Pit.

Without Die Hard, we never would have gotten that episode of Bob's Burgers where Gene co-created that Die Hard/Working Girl musical, Work Hard or Die Trying, Girl. And for that, I'm grateful.

Unfortunately, they never got her back past the second film, outside of a brief voice cameo in the third one. Granted, she had even less to do in the second film, outside of using a stun gun on Walter Peck.

If it's not Die Hard, I'm going to be awfully disappointed.

Siskel and Ebert's reaction to the Friday the 13th films were particularly fun to read.

Die Hard and Gremlins have always been Christmas traditions for me, along with Christmas Vacation and A Christmas Story.

I don't know if someone else covered it down below, but Die Hard originally started as a sequel to the 1968 Frank Sinatra film, The Detective. When Sinatra turned the role down, it was then supposedly retooled as a sequel to Commando. Steven de Souza recently denied that claim though.

I did really enjoy that first scene with Scott Lang when he meets Captain America and the others, and basically geeks out at the experience.
