die already

LIVE FREE OR DIE...
HARD

mm.... well, what can i say ... i was overall kinda let down by this film. dont get me wrong... the action sequences were ... extremely O.T.T and dum... but... technically this film totally annoyed me!!!
  • out of sync dialogue
  • out of focus camera work
  • shaky
  • bad, BAD additional dialogue recording...

the list could possibly go on and on ... but, i felt this film was totally rushed together in the edit.

points do go to the bunch of business men who were sitting behind me in crown casino cinemas that were woo-ing and cackling at EVERY SINGLE MOMENT of action and even at dum lines like...

"i just killed your asian hooker girlfriend... the one who kicks alot... man... they must be hard to find"

and then they'd say .... "Ooohhhh" (then chuckle and laugh)

but like, the white equivalent of saying "oh no you diiii'nt"

anyways ... lets just say my enjoyment of the film went up a few notches by listening to grown men get excited about...

a car killing a chopper...



and a car going down an elevator shaft,



and a car being flipped onto 2 other cars,



and a car flinging off henchmen into a dumpster



and every other clip i couldnt find. but you can find pretty much the whole movie on there. meh, im off to have a shower.

Ah, so that's where you were!

So what's the deal? Does McClane run out of bullets at some stage and has to rely purely on autombiles as his source of munitions? Or is it all the one magical car, like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?

I got Studio 60 working on the DVD player in my room! Stayed up til midnight watching it! It's pretty damn ace. Apparently after they cancelled it for low ratings they found out it had been gaining a million viewers a week who were Tivoing it and watching it later. Dammit!
