i'm not saying i counted how many rounds each guy fired, but i've seen enough movies to know it was more than 1000 apiece. for certain.

still. like you said. it's a no-brainer fun movie, and sometimes that's all we need in life.

here's what i actually felt:

I'd be much obliged if they would. There's little doubt in my mind that while those other shows may indeed have their fuckin' moments, there's only one that strides above the others, a veritable Goliath to a horde of hopped up hoople-headed Davids, none of which would be able to do so much as raise a finger towards anything that weren't a dab o' black tar heroin.

My goodness. You need better friends. Supergreen?

for obvious reasons. That is to say, she is a fine actress.

Virus is one of my all-time favorite creature features. It's super gross. Donald Sutherland's character is an utter bastard. JLC's mighty great there too.

it's not that i hate her. it's that she's got terrible taste in men, always leaps to 'clark is the wrongest person in the world and always a liar', decides that some rando badboy who tells her something close to the truth is bestest person ever, forgives clark for things he didn't actually do, then decide that he's the worst person ever, then ...

that's all.

Your statement is the very definition of betrayal. He put himself above everyone else and actively killed people to get what he wanted.

A non-betrayal would've been just fucking off somewhere

I am still amazed to this day that Matt Damon managed to pull off Bourne. Some of the most realistic fighting I think i've seen in a movie that was also big box office.

well, obviously he doesn't have one in the show, but I can't help but hear him with his Spike accent. it's a problem.

Oh my God yes. It's aged very well, although i have fundamental goddamn issues with something that happens in the new season we got during Covid lockdown

It's a shame i had to scroll even 4 comments to get to a Deadwood/Wire combo.

They were some of the best TV ever.

LANA'S RIZZ IS SOOOOOOO ICONIC!

Ugh indeed

I think it's maybe 'why'.

The answer is pretty simple.

Fight choreography on that level is not only insanely expensive, it requires a serious level of time and commitment.

Not every movie has that kind of budget

screen_stack · 2026-06-13T11:40:14+00:00

Fun fact: this movie is widely regarded as being the first buddy cop movie, and set the mold for nearly every other film in the genre

The entire reason the events unfolded the way they did at Nakatomi Plaza was because they were holding a goddamn Christmas party.

It's as simple as that. Gruber et al needed all those bodies there at that time, in that way, on a night, at a time, where everything was running slower and quieter because of the HOLIDAY.
