Any luck with that?

Fair point. Suspension’s probably shot from all of the taking off/landing with the toy load on it.

Just go get it.

Not like you don’t know where the jolly ol thief lives.

Close. One of the first two.

The other was (and I think still is) in Tyson’s Corner, VA.

Legit never heard of this one. I thought you were cheekily referencing Hot Ones until I did a search.

Not going to watch but goddamn are those thumbnails atrocious.

I understand how, in retrospect, it may feel like it isn’t groundbreaking, but do consider that before Die Hard, there really wasn’t anything quite like it.

A quote straight from Wikipedia:

It is considered to have revitalized the action genre, largely due to its depiction of McClane as a vulnerable and fallible protagonist, in contrast to the muscle-bound and invincible heroes of other films of the period.

While it did sort of fall apart and away from what made it great in the later sequels, I think it’s important to put the film into the context of when it was released and what it did to the genre.

All that to say, Die Hard fucking rules.

Hahaha

Had the same thought, “I can prove this dude can’t fly pretty easy, see that cliff?”

No sir.

Not one bit.

Yeah, I’d be hard pressed to come up with a more popular character than Spider-Man.

He has super broad appeal with none of the weird hangups other heroes might have. And I’m not even talking just Marvel.

I literally can’t think of a more popular superhero. Maybe Batman or Superman, at some point, but I don’t think anyone else comes close.

Marvel alone? Maybe Wolverine?

Pass.

I love horror and this ain’t it, bud.
