Honest Trailer - Die Hard

poolcleaner says...

Die Hard is awesome for all the reasons listed. 2 is boring as all hell, 3 is alright -- Willis + Jackson usually = good movie, and I even liked Unbreakable -- skip the rest.

God, but the bloody feet. Still makes me cringe more than, I dunno, the entirety of the Revenant? I would rather watch a man get mauled by a bear for five minutes than John McClane pulling shards of glass out of the soles of his GODdamned feet for 10 seconds!!

Is this our future? No more public gatherings? All it takes is a phone call and an abandoned suitcase. They don't even have to blow themselves up any more.

Sidenotes:

1. I learned there is a thing called a "friendly." Football is such a shared thing, you don't even have to say the noun. The adjective is enough.

2. Silly story -- I live in a small town that for years had only one prefix on the phone numbers. 385. Folks wouldn't even give the entire phone number. If your number was 385-1234, you'd just say 1234. The town grew, fax machines came into vogue, and they had to add a prefix 379 to handle the increased need for phone numbers.

But old habits die hard, yeah? I'm a 385-1234. The new assistant police chief got 379-1234. Guess who got his phone calls all the time? Because people were on autopilot when dialing?

Folks would leave a message on my answering machine and I would pass it on. After all, I knew his phone number.

My favorite message for a long time was this: "Hi Connor. This is Jim. Ted tells me you have the key to City Hall." Such a small town, I knew the occupations and last names of everyone named in that message. Still cracks me up.

My most favorite message, though, is the last one I ever got. "Connor, just wanted you to know that the bomb squad has been called. An abandoned suitcase has been found at the Post Office." Well! Talk about breaking news! I passed on the message, per usual.

There must have been bloody hell raised at the police station about such sensitive info being left on the wrong answering machine, because I never got another wrong number about official police business.

I love how stories build.

Well, the game was cancelled and the city is filled to the brim with rozzers carrying MP5s. Good times, as always.

Not a dilemma at all actually. What we will tell them, whether it be with the tooth fairy, Santa Claus, or Jesus Christ, is that some other parents believe some things that we don't, and they teach those things to their children.

We are fortunate to know some people who were raised with parents who were truthians and hearing how they handled all those things makes it clear not only that it is possible but how it's possible to raise a child in an environment of ~total honesty.

(Funnily [to me] is that one such guy I know told me how his parent told him, "We will never lie to you so you can always know that what we tell you is the truth. That's how you know Jesus Christ is really your lord and savior." LMFAHS. If you're wondering, yes, he's a die hard Christian.)

newtboy said:

Ahhh, but there's the dilemma. Does that not instruct your children to lie to their friends (if not directly, by omission)?
That's part of why I think lies are so insidious, they put people in the position of either calling out the lies/liars or being complicit in the lie. I was quite glad my parents didn't tell me to keep the lie a 'secret' when I told them at 5 years old that I knew Santa, et al., was a lie. It would have been confusing to me. Fortunately I don't recall it ever coming up with my friends.

Is Obamacare Working?

dannym3141 says...

This is depressing to read. It is under the watch of capitalism that we have been led directly over a cliff into the financial crisis that did and still is causing untold harm to ordinary working people across the globe. It has all but destroyed a number of nations who are teetering on the edge of annihilation.

I can't understand your reasoning. The capitalism experiment has been done, and it has shown itself to have failed and let everyone down, starting with the most vulnerable.

China is the most successful nation on this planet right now, even the most die hard murrican patriot must accept that fact. They are COMMUNIST, and they are doing better than the rest of us put together. How long can you sit, neck deep in water, still insisting that the boat isn't sinking?

Now tell me, Picard.... how many lights do you see?

Bruce Willis Causes Massive Property Damage

Payback jokingly says...

Please.

If they didn't jail him for Hudson Hawk or A Good Day to Die Hard, he's pretty much prosecution-proof.

notarobot said:

With this video evidence of tens of millions of dollars of damage, and more and more evidence released each year, the real mystery is how Mr. Willis has evaded continued to evade criminal charges for this long.

"Stupidity of American Voter," critical to passing Obamacare

enoch says...

so you agree with me yet still downvote my comment?
i thought i was being respectful by explaining my downvote,something i am under zero compulsion to do,at all.

and yet you go off on a childish tantrum and systematically downvote about 3 hours of content in my pque...in FIVE minutes! which can lead me to only one conclusion:
emotional reflex response to a negative analysis to a useless and irrelevant video you posted.

you do not understand why this is irrelevant?
i have to admit a certain embarrassment for you that i have to point this out,but ok,take my hand and i will walk you through it so you can better understand:

1.air contains oxygen
2.water is wet
3.everybody poops
4.politicians and governments lie

you had an opportunity here to reveal just how convoluted and deceptive the process had been perverted and corrupted.how back door deals and the greased palms of certain politicians helped fascillitate the passing of obamacare.

how big pharma and the health insurance industry spent 300 million in the first week alone to kill this bill.or how those very same politicians allowed a tax on that health care bill to remain in the bill.

you could have added context to what really transpired and the mafia principle was in full effect.government gets their slice and the health industry continues to be allowed to plunder the american people treasure.

but no.
you posted a 53 second video of a politician caught in a moment of truth.
a truth WE ALREADY KNOW,with the sole purpose of "look!see! governments are bad!

no context.
no backstory.
no nuanced information to give people a clearer picture on just how badly we are all being fucked.
just a 53 second prop so you can get on your soapbox.

so yeah..the video is irrelevant.

unless of course...you think everybody around you is a stupid child and needs you to hold their hands to reveal the underlying truth.if that is the case you have failed miserably.

well,i dont need you to hold my hand.i am quite capable of coming to my own conclusions.

i am becoming quite tired of your temper tantrums.so if my words have angered your tender sensibilities then feel free to go on another targeted downvoting spree..i really dont care.

@blankfist is a die hard libertarian.thoughtful and precise in his arguments (sans the farting cats),and you sir..are no blankfist.
