Random Thought

June 29, 2007

Why do women’s favorite romantic movies always seem to involve the main female character cheating on her current spouse (usually fiancé)? It’s actually worse now because in the 80’s/90’s, the guy would be some überjerk possibly abusive. Now it’s just some nice guy who made the foolish choice of going to her house for Christmas and then one week later, he’s riding the bus home with a diamond ring burning a soul-searing hole in his pocket.

If I had a girl and her favorite movie was The Notebook, I would be Lord Concernicus, ruler of all the lands in the Concernia Empire.

I think asking “So do you have some true love back in your hometown I should be aware of” should be added to the list of questions you should ask before getting serious about someone.

Movie of the Week: Live Free or Die Hard

June 29, 2007

It’s rare that I get to use “awesome” to describe a movie but this movie was awesome.

I was worried in the beginning that this was just going to be an action movie starring Bruce Willis playing a character who just happened to be named John McClane.

And for the most part, it was. The action was over the top compared to the previous Die Hard films. But I didn’t care.

They don’t make action movies like this anymore with car crashes and the hero getting the shit kicked out of him and more physical work that CGI. The last movie like that was True Lies I think.

Justin Long didn’t annoy me as much as I thought he would.

I think what this movie lacked was more interaction between Bruce Willis & Timothy Olyphant. Olyphant had some great lines, both to Willis and his techie crew. Thats really what makes a Die Hard movie – the back and forth between McClane and the head villain. What few conversations they did have were good.

P.S.: I’m officially in love with Maggie Q.
