Interference Random Movie Talk & Robin: The Thrilling Fourth Installment

[Lancemc]

I have nothing against Die Hard. I love it. I just thought it was odd to see two pages of discussion about it out of nowhere. I mean it's Die Hard. I thought everyone had seen it. What is there to say? "Yep. Pretty badass. Yippy Ki-yay."

 

[u2popmofo]

Whatever, Lance. Just for that, I'm going to talk about Karate Kid for the next 2 pages.

OMG, CAN YOU BELIEVE THEY SWEPT DANIEL'S LEG???!11!!1!!111;;1;/?/11???!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

wax on, wax off mother fuckers!

Welcome to the party, pal.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

There was a time when I was in middle school where I would have told you that Die Hard was one of my all-time favorite movies.

Watching it recently, yeah, it's fucking cool and brings back some nice memories but that's about it.

 

[UberBeaver]

PUT HIM IN A BODY BAG!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

They're gonna need some more FBI guys, I guess.

[phillyfan26]

Who hasn't seen Die Hard. Excuse my moment of shock and disbelief.

You're talking to the guy who has yet to see any Indiana Jones or Star Wars films. There's behind the times, then there's me. I'm working on it.

 

[Lancemc]

I do believe this needed to be established long ago. Or maybe it was and I just missed it. In which case, where was my PM?!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

HOLY SHIT MAN!!

Did you just escape from some sort of cult or something?

 

[phillyfan26]

I'm an enigma: I love to make references to film and television (like YLB), but have not seen that many films or television shows. Similar to my music dilemma.

I'm currently undergoing a massive project to listen to classic albums that I need to hear, after which I will begin a full film watching project. I have lists of films and music I need to watch and listen to going.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Wow.

I am envious of you.

Please, please begin your Star Wars journey with the '77 original.

PLEASE. thankyou.

 

[phillyfan26]

HOLY SHIT MAN!!

Did you just escape from some sort of cult or something?

I'm young and pretty much have only seen the films my parents have. I've bought three DVDs on my own in the past month: Batman Begins, Die Hard, and the Life Aquatic.

Better scenario than my music situation. My mother listens to Christmas music and my father does not listen to music at all.

 

[phillyfan26]

Wow.

I am envious of you.

Please, please begin your Star Wars journey with the '77 original.

PLEASE. thankyou.

I intend to go by order of release.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

good.

Damn, I would kill a man to be able to go back and watch A New Hope for the first time.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I'm young and pretty...

me to!

Better scenario than my music situation. My mother listens to Christmas music and my father does not listen to music at all.

are they, you know... religious?

 

[phillyfan26]

Every time I start to make head way on my "albums to listen to" list, a whole bunch of great suggestions come in and it adds up again.

My "albums I've listened to" list has probably more than doubled in the past couple of months, though.

 

[Lancemc]

I think we need to see your so-called list. For our records.

 

[LMP]

I intend to go by order of release.

Now the real question is will you watch the "original" versions or the special editions?

 

[phillyfan26]

are they, you know... religious?

Not particularly. My father pretty much likes two things: sports and quotable films. My mother likes sports and rolling her eyes at my father's jokes.

 

[phillyfan26]

I think we need to see your so-called list. For our records.

My films list is one that YLB sent me of films he knew I hadn't seen, and I've been slowly working on those.

I'll copy and paste YLB's list in just a second.

My music list is a huge combination of albums people have suggested for me. Then there's the one's I've listened to list, which is in my Interference blog and is updated regularly.

 

[phillyfan26]

Now the real question is will you watch the "original" versions or the special editions?

Whatever I can see, I suppose. Preferably the originals, then the special editions.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Go with the originals. Unless you want me to pull a Greedo and shoot first.

Unlike Greedo, however, I won't miss.

[Lancemc]

Go with the originals, unless you want respectable quality digitally re-mastered audio and picture that doesn't look like it was shit out a second-rate VHS salesman's butthole.

 

[No spoken words]

good.

Damn, I would kill a man to be able to go back and watch A New Hope for the first time.

That's how I feel about Empire.

 

[LMP]

I like how the list still exists.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

that's quite the list pfan, I echo GAF's jealousy of getting to see several of those for the first time.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

That's how I feel about Empire.

way to get 10% more awesome!
