[The Comedian]

His kind of movie just sucks. 12 mercenaries with automatic weapons spraying fire in his direction and MISS. He fires once with his widdle pistol from 200 yards away and HITS. And then you get the gauntlet scene where he runs thru a gauntlet of automatic weapon fire, shooting TWO widdle pistols, one in each hand, and dodging bullets, and hitting targets. And then the explosion in the background where his shockwave blown air speed is faster than the shockwave blown shrapnel speed.

parsy, who gets sick at this kind of movie

I've never agreed with you so whole-heartedly in our online lives.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Have you noticed how these scenes are becoming obligatory now? Sorta like the obligatory sex scenes in the later 70’s and 80’s. Its like they can’t make an action film without it. I think the first “explosion” one was one of the Rambo movies. But I am getting old and my memory is going. At any rate, they are way past tiring. The newer James Bond (about anything past Roger Moore) movies are just silly. I think I read somewhere that these movies are made with the aftermarket in mind and the sophistication level one finds in lower class neighborhoods in the Mid East. I wouldn’t doubt it. But it does make you appreciate “No Country for Old Men” and “In The Electric Mist”.
