I want a remake of "Speed" (1994) that only runs for about 20 minutes

because the bus blows up and everyone dies. Howard Payne is, after

all, justified: people suck and all deserve to get blown up.

I don't remember watching that movie. Is the original any good?

These days I only watch very old stuff when left on my own. When in a group they will have me watch new stuff and I find it okeish but not that good.


The last Star Wars trilogy, for example, I am watching it with friends and it kind of sucks. The first movie was a ripoff from A New Hope straight, scept it was worse made.

"Good?" No. Entertaining? Yes.

I want to see Sandra Bullock take her shirt off.

"Good?" No. Entertaining? Yes.

Well, that works for me. I am not known for being picky. My Bollywood collection is evidence enough.

Normally, if someone claims that Die Hard is not a Christmas movie, I will immediately consign them to the eleventh circle of hell reserved for the most blasphemous and horrible people in the universe.

But someone actually gave me a good reason why one might not consider Die Hard to be a Christmas movie:

Quite simply ... it doesn't have Jesus in it.

I like that thinking. I hate anything Christmas-related that doesn't have Jesus in it.

Ho-ho-ho.

Quite simply ... it doesn't have Jesus in it.

Neither did the original Christmas, bud.

You mean Saturnalia? Yeah, that had no Jesus in it. It's pretty well documented that the early Christians decided to have their annual remembrance of the birth of Jesus during a time when the oppressive pagans were too busy being drunk and screwing each other to persecute the Christians. Most Biblical historians believe the actual event was likely to have happened during the season we now know as Spring.

The pagans took back the season a long time ago. That's one reason I'm ok with letting it rot.
