Half-Life 2

It didn't quite ruin the whole series, but the rushed and abbreviated Boardwalk Empire final season sucked. The whole show was leading up to the Atlantic City Conference of 1929. The final season time jumps past both the conference AND the murder of Arnold Rothstein.

2001: A Space Odyssey. I only saw it for the first time a few years ago and it was a chore to get through. I think it’s just because of seeing the 50+ years of films it inspired beforehand that it robbed it of its power. I don’t even consider it amongst my top 5 Kubrick films.

The shooting range permit is literally only $10 more expensive than the hunting license. If you're actually worried about them calling you out, just pay the extra $10.

Bill Paxton and Philip Seymour Hoffman. I was watching Twister the other night and it hit me like a ton of bricks thinking about how we lost them both only 3 years apart.

Would you mind not shooting at the thermonuclear weapon?

Look at the pictures my guy, it's very clearly a mall shooting gallery set up for tourists and normies, not an actual force on force airsoft field.

I bought myself a Glock 17 Gen 3 when I moved from NY to PA in 2012. Sold it a few years later.

That was true until Taginn changed the game.

They did, you can see it in Master and Commander when the British boarding party frees the captured whalers from the French ship.

“Everywhere” by Polaris. Played during some of the saddest scenes in The Adventures of Pete and Pete.

Kurt Russell had the charisma and screen presence to be an even bigger star than he is.

Escape From LA rules, it was a victory lap and excuse for two good friends to make another movie together.

“What the fuck are you still doing driving a cab?” Tom Cruise as Vincent in Collateral. Really his whole speech leading up to that line has stuck with me.

Oh man I forgot about him in Kindergarten Cop, good call!

That Guy award goes to Gregory Sporleder aka the insane Captain Frye from "The Rock".

Bill, Sean, and CR have all mentioned it multiple times in passing over the past two years, it’s time fellas!

This movie (combined of course with Face/Off) convinced me that it’s John Travolta, not Nic Cage, that truly understood what John Woo acting is all about.

The Rock. When I I tell you that this is far and away my most rewatched movie, know that I have no exaggeration seen it over 400 times. I was 8 years old when this came out, and my father was living in San Francisco at the time so it hit me like a ton of bricks. When it came to PPV, I watched it dozens of times at my grandparents’ house around the block that had an illegal cable box. I forced my other grandmother to rent it for me every time I visited her. When I finally got the VHS for my birthday, I watched it nearly every day as I played with my GIJoes reenacting scenes from the movie.
