@AnneErickson That I’ve personally seen live I would say Prince at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco. Small enough he literally would lock eyes with people as he was performing with this expression like “can you believe what you are hearing and experiencing right now”?
Die Hard was a cinematic masterpiece.
Die Hard 2 was an unimaginative remake for money, set in a different locale, with cheesy fan service callbacks to the original film (which is very common for sequels today - see anything Disney Star Wars/MCU).
My idea of great sequels...
Aliens to Alien
The Empire Strikes Back to Star Wars
Godfather 2 to the Godfather.
Die Hard 2 would be like if they made Blade Runner 2 two years later as a sort of remake but on an island with constant cheesy callbacks to the first film.
I find Die Hard 2 to be unwatchable. The original is one of my all-time favorite movies (easy Top 5).
@landofthe80s I still have this photo I took of my TV screen when I was a kid (for a contest or patch?). I don’t think is was a very high score - I don’t remember finishing it. I was only 9 or 10. Had it for Intellivision. I imagined I was Indiana Jones when playing it.
@TheCinesthetic Funny thing is, I was managing a video rental store in LA and when it came out on VHS, someone came in asking about it and I went on and on about how it was one of the worst movies I’d ever seen, and then they said something about how their sibling produced it…
@rubidoooo I work with wardrobe and costumes from film, television, rock and roll etc (rare pop culture artifacts) and spray fabric with a mix of vodka and water through a steamer to kill any bugs and harmful stuff that might be on them.
