I don't. I just hate the victim mentality that has worked itself into the guts of our great nation.

I love the fact that on a whim I can start a thread on a board with an observation about a movie.

I was referring more to your grossly unAmerican criticism of Die Hard.

Just observations, not criticisms. Hell, I own them and decided to watch them. It's not like I ran across them on TBS. I actually made time to watch them again.

I watched Die Hard today. I've never seen Die Hard 2. I'm watching it now.

an old lady has a stungun that she demos while on the flight. Was this ever legal?

He has a gun on the plane in the first one. That's not legal even for a cop these days. Not sure if it ever was.

The ho-ho-ho guy mcclane kills and sends down in the elevator...his eyes blink just before his head gets moved after the door opens and the terrorists see him.

It's almost perfect.

Anything for someone to be contrary. Jesus Christ. ND and USC were not playing in a Christmas Eve bowl game in the '80s. The only bowl game that day would have been the Sun Bowl, which isn't played at night. Die Hard took place after sundown and was in Los Angeles.

in DH2 why the hell couldn't the planes fly to any of the other airports in the region?

its not like the were in the middle of nowhere.

this was at Dulles International in DC.

Tower was ordered to not reroute the planes. Any deviation from the orders would result in retaliatory action.

They had no idea what the terrorists were capable of, so they told the planes to remain in flight, and circle.
