For all the computer hacking and technological mischief of Live Free or Die Hard (which was an incredible two hour marathon of explosions, one-liners, and close calls), there were no Macs to be found. Eat shit Justin Long. As soon as he becomes a "brilliant hacker," he drops all loyalty to the cool Macs that are so good at doing "fun stuff." He tries to keep of the cool facade with theories about how the media is designed to stimulate the economy by causing Americans to live in constant fear (theories I can debunk with the words "24-hour coverage of Paris Hilton"), but he just doesn't seem as cool when his counterpart is played by Bruce Willis rather than John Hodgman. My guess would be that Willis was representative of a quality computer line. Something like Compaq. Moral of the story: Macs are for Photoshop, PCs are for screwing with governments, and John McClane is for kicking ass. Yippee-ki-yay motherfucker.

I hated the film--after seeing the series go progressively downhill (With a Vengeance wasn't a bad film by any means--it co-starred Sammy J--it was no where near as good as the first one), I expected this one to be a little worse, but it was of shockingly lower quality than the others.
McClane is almost a wimp--he couldn't even say Yippy Kay Yay Motherfucker!
Avinash was also very disappointed at how much the quality of the dialogue dropped as the Home Alone series progressed.
C'mon, we're talking Die Hard! It had roughly 33,4671 explosions, some fun bad guys, Bruce Willis in fun action sequences that are so fantastic that they don't even try to feign realism (he officially OWNS anyone trying to kill him in a flying vehicle of any sort), and an awesome ending shoot-out scene with a big-time "Holy shit did he just do that!?" curveball.
I'd have said ** Spoiler Alert ** but by now, everyone knows that all Die Hard movies will have kickass ending scenes. Nothing spoiled there.
In other news, does anyone know why Mexicans Suck So Much?
