I watch YouTube just fine on Firefox.

Some plugins to Adblock but that’s it.

I don’t know what I expected but that was mortifying.

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

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

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.

That was more “on the table” if he wasn’t reinstated.

I also suspect there were some inaccuracies in the reporting and headlines around that.

For those wondering, the other two are Minnesota & New York.
