Die Hard [J. Matthew Movies, Ep. 15]
#DieHard (1988) changed action movies forever. Starring #FrankSinatra in his final film role, it introduced the genre of #Geriaction to moviegoers everywhere. Stars like Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson would take the genre to new heights in the 2010s, but how did it all begin?

    There is one redeeming quality I can give about this remake that I actually would be so bold is on par with the original: Mr. Han’s arc. In contrast to Miyagi’s quippy and upbeat personality, Han is more awkward and moody. And they brilliantly tie it in with the tragic backstory: reinventing Miyagi's story losing his wife and son due to childbirth complications while he was serving in WWII, Han lost his wife and son when he got them in a car accident. This explains his gloomy and antisocial behavior, as he's plagued with guilt and contrition over inadvertently causing their deaths. And furthermore, this can actually justify the, "Interesting pole" line, as he’s not really trying to jab at and call out Dre’s lie. Because he's so haunted and broken inside, he just doesn't care that Dre is blatantly lying to him, and thus, he just shrugs it off, like, "Eh, whatever." I also like how this further leads to Dre helping him overcome his trauma as Han helps him prepare for the tournament. It’s not just master teaching student like in the original; here, they’re both learning from each other, helping each other overcome each other’s struggles and weaknesses, thus, making the dynamic between the two far more deeper and complex than Daniel and Miyagi. Mr. Miyagi’s backstory doesn’t really add much to his arc. I guess they were trying to convey that Daniel’s the closest thing to a son he’s ever had, but it's kind of executed vaguely. As much as I love Mr. Miyagi for his more confident and wise personality, Mr. Han is honestly a far more interesting character. I can’t say one is better than the other, but it’s definitely a close tie.

So i said: "hey my birthday is on Thursday but let's meet at the weekend so everyone is in the mood?" and everyone thought the same.

    I always hated TAB. yuck, Never understood how anyone liked it but each to their own. BTW I don't know what world everyone else lived in but I never even saw a computer until I was a young adult and was working for an agency cleaning somewhat well-to-do families. I went into the house, was awestruck by the lady right away as she was very tall, pretty and well dressed. She gave me instructions and left. I was blown away.. #1 she trusted me to be there alone #2 her "office had a big desk with a computer on it and she had big book cases and a sort of trophy wall and one pic was of her accepting an award on a stage. I was SO impressed! Blew me away and I was just in love with the idea that some day I could be like her. She was a very nice person as well which was sort of a shock for someone of "means" at that level. She had a large conversation style couch dark blue with white and very nice material (velvety) and I hand cleaned every square inch of it. I even remember how nice it smelled in that house. Anyway, she almost certainly had a Macintosh. I would love to go back to those early years but we can't go back.

    The WarGames story always fascinated me, even though I was too young when it was new to understand it. (I was 3 years old when it came out and 5 when I first remember seeing it on TV.) Afterward, I grew into the story. I related to how the game-playing fever and the fear of nuclear war were completely respective but were successfully interwoven in this context. I think that Tab jingle was included in What’s Love Got to Do With It, in the scene when the Tina Turner character is minutes away from making her brake. Furthermore, I remember drinking it a few times in my youth. Can’t remember how it tasted, and I was tempted to get a 12-pack when I lived alone so I could remind myself. Wasn’t too keen on getting a 12-pack of something I wasn’t sure I wasn’t going to have than more than one of, however. Straight up, now tell me. Should I just settle for drinking Coke Zero? P. S. The Commodore 64-style interpretation of John Williams’ Star Wars Episode I score is a killer find.

    Lmao. Peeeeuuuupppple. A. UA-cam is an entertainment platform. UA-cam and Google even say so in their description. B. Even if Daniel is the real bully happened in a bar and not UA-cam…people have the right to formulate whatever view or opinion they want about a movie or content…meaning that this UA-camr has all the right in the world to believe Johnny is the good guy. Just like to me Million dollar man was the real American..not hulk hogan. It’s my opinion atleast and I’m sticking to it. C. I think we all agree that 80s featured too much one way ness and cobra Kai and its diverse presentations where both sides could be both good and bad was awesome. So in closing the author is not entirely wrong about karate kid and I a 44yr old can see he obviously grew up in the 80s and 90s and it was the cool norm to switch the narrative. I like darth better than Luke, I liked Draco better than rocky, there way so many one way signs that guys like me and the author above too was like ahh fuck the script we are going this way. And it’s a good quality to have when applied properly. And let’s face it. Johnny had the swag and was easier to like..even in cobra Kai. Even the real life nerd crowd has more muscle than scrawny larusso. He is the weird kid that looked like my #2 sharpie pencil gave birth to Daniel. He was more likable and relatable in cobra Kai. Weirdo.
