The courthouse scene is also silly to anyone who knows the history of the Chicago Outfit post-Capone…Frank Nitti didn't get thrown off a roof by Elliot Ness, he became the head of the mob in Chicago after Capone went to prison(he also wasn't a hitman by that point, he was too high up in the hierarchy and stayed out of

Then you wouldn't have a team in Vancouver BC.

Portland and Seattle are further north than Montreal and Toronto yet there's not really much demand for the NHL in the Northwest.

the “Poliziotteschi” subgenre of hyper-violent cop movies

"Chachi, you take this one! Get in there Baio, I'll just watch from the side."

Just like on that South Park episode, I imagine there's a little kid dressed up like a robot who actually comes up with these film ideas.

Amores Perros, Go, and Way of The Gun get a pass from me for being enjoyable films in their own way, but Things to Do In Denver When You're Dead, 2 Days in the Valley, and Suicide Kings are straight-up bargain basement off-brand Tarrantino. And 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag is just garbage.

Say what you will, but you kind of have to respect the guys who knew they were always just going to be brutal action stars and not try to crossover into comedies(like Schwarzanegger) or trying to do serious films(like Stallone). Like bruiser hockey goons, they had one thing they were good at and that's it.

Did they make a Die Hard in a mall? I mean, I guess Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

I always wanted Die Hard at a ski area, as a kid I basically wrote that film in my head, it would've been awesome.

If they made that film today, the lead character would feel right at home as an online troll.

Soundtrack is totally the transition to the early 90s in terms of tastes, it's got Soundgarden, Sonic Youth, The Pixies in addition to Peter Murphy, Cowboy Junkies, Concrete Blonde…The music in that film solidified in my 10-year-old mind what cool older kid/college music was supposed to sound like.

Pulp Fiction and Resevoir Dogs were great, but unfortunately when the same approach was tried by lesser directors(non-linear timelines, witty killers quoting pop culture, retro soundtrack) it got tiresome pretty quick. Just like how when the alt-rock classics of the early 90s inspired newer bands, by the end of the

Breakdown is a great little gem in the desert noir/rural badguy genre that was kind of a staple of 90s thrillers.

Hey, he stole my idea!

That's another in the line of Rolling Stone bad reviews of good albums from great bands that they would later forget about years later when they put the album on some best of list.

Quaid has a bounty on his head from unpaid hotel bills and had to flee to the Canada system.

I imagine this part will be like his role in Kingpin, just in space.

Tim Allen sort of has a weird face, it's always bugged me…it just looks off.

You bet your ass it doesn't…
