Agreed. Die Hard: With a Vengeance is my all time favorite in the series.

I only saw the 4th one after that and didn't care for it at all. I don't know how many there were after the 4th one, but I never saw any of them.

That's why they award winnings and something sometimes goes back to the Senior Centre for use of the room. But not yesterday with so few playing. I don't think.

Well, I think I would play without any winnings. It gets me out of my place and interacting with people.

---

It's good to get out. Congrats again on the win.

I tried to watch the 4th one in the series out of curiosity but about a half an hour into it and I just couldn't. McClain went to Russia or Eastern Europe to rescue his daughter and her boyfriend or something like that. It just made no sense what so ever.

It is good to interact with people and I have lunch at the centre. I can either order what they have on their menu or bring a sandwich and get a coffee there. The mah jong group usually all eat together then we go our separate ways. Thanks.

DH was in LA. 2 was in DC. Vengeance was in Harlem. Live Free was back in DC. Good Day was in Russia or Yurp.
Those last 2 had little Lucy grow up to be Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

I just thought it was a boring flick. I saw the whole thing years ago and honestly couldn't tell you anything about it. My only takeaway from it was that Timothy Olephyant makes a terrible villain. It's the only thing I've ever seen him in that I didn't like.

Sounds like fun. I always think I should see if there's something similar around here. I've gotten back in with some of my old friends, but they're married with kids and full time jobs and hardly ever get together anymore.

I was joking with my Grandma yesterday that she's probably been out of the house more this year so far than I have. I don't think that's really true, but it's probably not too far from the truth.

I typically stock up and hibernate for the winter if I'm not working a job anyhow though. At least there's plenty of projects here to keep me out of trouble.

Did you ever watch Deadwood? That's the first thing I'd seen him in and I loved that show.

More recently, I've seen him in a few episodes of The Santa Clarita Diet, a comedy with Drew Berrymore. He's a lot better at comedy than he was playing a bad guy.

The first thing I would have seen him in was Steven King's Dreamcatcher, but it was only years later that I found out he was in it because at the time he was the only actor in the film I'd not already known. He didn't have a small roll in it either, but I just forgot he was in it until long after Deadwood was finished.

Justified and Deadwood were perfect roles for him though.

No, never saw "Deadwood". Didn't know he was in that. Only actor from the clips I recognized was Ian McShane, British guy and a good actor. I used to love "Lovejoy" which was a series he did back in England in the 1990s.

I haven't seen "Santa Clarita Diet", thought it sounded okay. Keep meaning to see if I can find it on YouTube. Some of these things don't make it on to DVD, so my library doesn't get them.

Yeah. When he did Justified, I think he just brought the same character over from Deadwood and modernized him a bit. No complaints from me since I loved both shows.

Ian McShane was arguably the most dynamic character on the show with the largest arc of growth. I loved his character by the end of the run. I believe it's the final season where an episode completely surrounding an issue he's got is one of the most intense things I remember ever seeing in a TV show. Phenominal actor, although the only other thing I've ever seen him in was the terrible remake of Death Race in 2008. (He's the only thing I even remember about it).

I would HIGHLY recommend Deadwood to you considering the cast, but that comes with a warning too. It ain't PC, like at all. And most of the characters of Deadwood outside of Timothy and the Doctor use cuss words as punctuation marks. YouTube probably took it down by now, but I remember a 5 minute long video where somebody took every single instance of the word C*%#sucker and just played them all one after the other without any repeats.

I think you'd like it. It is one of the few shows my old man and step-mom can watch together. He showed me a few episodes while we were visiting my brother on several occasions, but I watch so little these days and it didn't totally grab my attention enough to make me watch the whole thing. I didn't find anything objectionable or bad about it though. I'm sure if I were dating somebody who wanted to watch it with me I wouldn't mind.

Deadwood's a show that should have gotten one more season, or a movie RIGHT after it was done like they said they were going to do. They finally made that movie 10 years later. I still haven't watched it, because I intend to rewatch the show before seeing it.

They did a fine enough job wrapping it up. It wasn't a cliffhanger ending like Sarah Connor Chronicles, but it did leave you wanting for more.

Hopefully the movie is good.




Deathrace 2008 definitely has a higher production budget and luster to it than the Carradine version does, but it's just another of a long line of remakes that didn't need to be made.

The original one, IMO, wasn't that great either though, so I felt that it was kind of a missed opportunity. I'm not against remaking movies that weren't great in the first place, but they could have done a better job than they did.

If they never remade The Thing in the 80's, we'd never have the awesome Kurt Russell version.

The Kurt version is my favorite Thing. The recent version had MEW taking over Kurt's role. And that was after they were both in Sky High together, and Grindhouse together.

Yeah. But like I said, they saw the writing on the wall at least. I feel they did do a fine enough job wrapping it up and we weren't left with a Firefly situation or anything. My old man saw the movie but his opinion was that they waited too long. Everybody looked so much older 10 years later, so instead of following up on recent events like an immediate movie would have, it followed their lives many years later and I think they kind of filled in the blanks with exposition.

Well, the Carradine version was done in the 70s and a lot of cheesy movies from that time came out.

---

Yeah. I think it's probably a movie I would have loved if I saw it when I was a kid. I didn't actually watch it until after I watched the 2008 version though, so there was no nostalgia there for me. It was still better than the new one though, IMO although they both have their pros and cons and neither comes close to being a great flick.

I love the Escape movies. It's great how LA is just an unashamed ripoff of NY with a higher budget. It's hard for me to say which one I like better since despite the glaring similarities thrown in your face they're both quite different in tone. It's almost like LA is a spoof of NY.

I was always sad we never got that Escape From Earth movie to round out the trilogy.

Kurt could still do it. I'd love to see Old Man Plisken finally get off this rock and we could imagine one day he meets up with Old Man Mal and the Firefly crew.

Very true. What I figured happened was instead of the $5 and a couple of coins going into my pant's pocket, I must have dropped it on the floor and didn't notice.

Oh, well. Hoping for a better day tomorrow.
