The colonel definitely had more potential to be menacing because it seemed like he was meaner, less refined, and was a special ops kinda guy.
But I have to tip my hat to Hans Gruber because he had more scenes with McClane, and the enclosed area of the Plaza made him more threatening to McClane.
I think his character provided some commentary and satire on the news media. It felt a little forced because they had already touched upon it in the first one, but it went new lengths in the satire.
He could’ve pretended like he had rabies.
Maybe it would’ve been too controversial to be chosen for Best Pic. The Sting does have a great A-list cast and climax. It was also pretty impactful because it resurrected the ragtime era a little bit.
That’s a great scene. Incredible performers those guys.
Whatever happened, the people who actually run the world never changed for the better. They never became sympathetic to anything or anyone.
I saw this movie a few years after it came out and I thought it was great. I had always heard it was good from my friends, and after I watch it, I go look at online reviews to discover it was widely panned, to my disappointment.
Oh well. Elisha Cuthbert is breathtaking. The 3 buddies are awesome underdogs, and all fine actors who’ve gone onto bigger things. Olyphant is a great villain who is deceiving and mean, but also kind of fair. I liked to hate him. Soundtrack and climax were both excellent.
You know that’s right.
Good point.
I don’t count Die Hard as a Christmas movie. It was released in June or something.
“Lois”
Love that guy. Takes himself so seriously.
Yes Jack Klompus! I couldn’t think of his name.
Granted, it’s been awhile since I’ve watched the Bale/Nolan pics, but I thought Bale was a fine Wayne. Pretty straight forward; funny, but in a smooth, suave way. Idk if he ever said the wrong thing.
My favorite Wayne is Keaton, who has more of an oddball likability I enjoy. He’s still suave, but strange enough to not seem perfect.
I thought Kevin Conroy played an imperfect Wayne as well, on The Animated Series. He tended to play a social misfit at times.
I remember seeing this when I was in 8th grade and thinking that it was cool he quoting John Lennon to me.
I don’t know about the first movie I saw that broke the 4th wall, but Saved By the Bell was probably the first TV show I saw that did so.
Oh yeah I forgot about that. Man there are many people in Quick and the Dead.
I don’t think the scene’s intent is to bash people who are gay, so I’d say it’s fine. Even if it is poking fun of gay people, it’s in fun and is based on some truth.
I think some gay people would think it was funny if released today, and some would take offense.
Well and Jesus Christ probably wasn’t white with blue eyes and long straight brown hair. It’s all marketing.
That’s a good question I’ve never thought of. I could see it going either way. I think you’d have to put yourself in the shoes of Atticus, and determine whether he was telling Scout the truth. Atticus would know if Tom tried to escape. So, if he did, that’s that. But if he didn’t try to escape, then would Atticus lie and say he did?
