"Where in this thread have the supporters 'backed up their arguments time and time again'?"
Oh yeah, sorry about that. I just inferred that you were talking about the Live Free and Die Hard boards in general. However, I do think that durdin has given his reasons as to why this ain't that different from other Die Hard films. The fact that you don't agree with his reasons doesn't mean that he hasn't given any. -

This last stand by Drooch is similar to his usual style Goondocks. Derail any actual conversation about the film and reduce the thread to a bitch fight. To prove this, all you have to do is look back at what he has contributed to this subject from the start. There are a couple posts on the first page which consist of him calling the film names and complaining about Willis' promotion of the movie. But get this, he never backs his statements up with any specific criticism from the film! The OP gave insight into his opinion as did a few others, but Drooch was NOT among them. Now he has resigned to writing overly long posts that are focused on "he said, she said tactics" and reducing every discussion to a bitch fight (analretentive, ever digressing, pinpointing of minor thread points).
So Drooch, put your money where you mouth is and bring a real argument instead of this childish meandering. However, I'm assuming he's going to ignore me Goondocks as he seems to be overly obsessed with you.
Can you blow me where the pampers is? -

Drooch and Dteam, lol. Both bitter becuase I destroyed you critisms of Die Hard 4 by revealing the same tactics in 2. The same thing Goondocks has been doing. All you can muster is name calling and arm chair psycho babel. Do you really think these tactics are dispelling anyone from the truth that neither of you can defend your possition? Drooch resorts to name calling, bitch fighting, and ego masterbation while Dteam is an obvious troll that no one really takes serious in the first place. So, for the umpteenth time, nothing is more sad than name calling on an anonymous blog. The fact that you guys must resort to these tactics only goes to show how affected you are by the arguments on this board.
-Drooch-
"I pointed out where Goondocks was mistaken and he rightfully apologised"
Obvously you saw that I also appologised about the mistaken photo, see a pattern. The supporters aren't ego manics and can appologize when a mistake is made. Maybe you should take notes.
-Dteam-
"Not only that but he's fixated on this idea that General Esperanza was taking off at 175 mph while McClane was on the wing and even used the term "karate" to describe their fighting."
That's funny Dteam casue I'm still waiting for your argument that refute my stance. I guess that's why you just call names and rant pointlessly. Well done again Sir! Really showed me, lol.
-Dteam-
"Furthermore, he even openly admits to having not seen the film in a while!"
You watch it all the time and yet can't refute that the plane was traveling at take off speed. Still waiting on your argument won't hold my breath.
-Dteam-
"McClane was more likely to die from falling off the jet wing in Die Hard 2 than he was jumping 80 feet from the jet in DHINO"
Oh hey, another argument you couldn't muster any defense againts! Anyone see a pattern forming? And where did you get 80 ft from? That's right you made it up, nevermind, I forgot you're just trolling.
-Drooch-
"Yep, another very juvenile attempt to provoke."
Say's the guy that repeatedly resorts to name-calling. I used to think your hypocracy was you just funnin with the fans, but now I'm thinking you don't realise your doing it.
What about McClane made him seem 'happy go lucky'?
Really? You are asking me to tell you after your pointed out the fact that I admitantly haven't watched the film in a while. Well that's not an obviously desperate attempt to counter a fact you know to be true. Die Hard 2 is the only film that doesn't display a depressed, down on his luck McClane. SO, according to your stance we must now refer to Die Hard 2 as a Die Hard in Name Only. I dissagree though as IMO even the worst Die Hard (2) has a place in the series.
-Drooch-
"it's infantile, trollish, and already weakens your very slim arguments."
You mean the ones you and your buddies can't even muster a stance against? You keep saying thier slim, but I don't remember you actually arguing them. Your only interested if you can skip over the film and turn the debate into a bitch fight.
-Drooch-
"even more of a hated laughing stock on the 'A Good Day To Die Hard' board where you've repeatedly embarrassed and humiliated yourself"
Apologising for a mistake is humiliating? That says a lot about your Drooch. But more to the point, my mistake about the picture didn't dispel my argument, just one of my points which I admited to. Goondocks has repeatedly called you out on mistakes you've made about Die Hard 2 and we are still waiting for your appology. Are you embarrased and humiliated? Oh wait, we're on an anonymous blog sight talking about action movies . baaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaa!

Definitely felt the same wayuntil I watched the unrated cut. Within the first two minutes it feels like Die Hard again (with McClane swearing like a sailor with his 'don't give a beep attitude that we all hold dear). They also ramp up the action and gore (nothing too over-the-top, but better than nothing at all for a Die Hard film). Doesn't totally fix it, but makes the film a helluva lot more enjoyable.

No really, it does not.
All the unrated cut does is spray a dog turd with gold paint.
Yet it's still a dog turd.
The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he is God.
