Sir Hilary Bray 235 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 fortunately I avoided such section. But then this HMV seems to be one of three within the Greater London area. I found it almost by accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,551 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I thought the selection of Blu-rays in HMV Oxford Street was pretty dire.OH, DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THAT!!!!! Apparently HMV had such a great offer on their flagship Oxford Circus site that they couldn't say "no". So, instead of a fantastic, vast 3-floor store, we have a piss-poor "regional" shop. Bulls**t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Better of going to Sister Rays, in Soho, or the Notting Hill R+TE.Bah-humbug to HMV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

filmmusic 1,838 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Have seen the 2nd film only once and I don't remember anything, but the 1st is a huge favourite and looking forward to watching it again!I think the last time I watched it may have been more than 17 years ago!!!It was also the first Sigourney Weaver role I saw..

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 2 is even more over the top. And it's the reason why I prefer 1. Pretty much every single death in Die Hard 2 occurs in slow-motion. Talk about overkill. 3 is great, though. Love the thrillride through New York.

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Well, yes, but that's in a series where we get only one death every week. Die Hard 2's body count is considerably larger. Also, when you use slow-motion to make every death dramatic, they end up all looking the same. And when everything's dramatic, nothing is, really.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Die Hard 3 is terrible. There is no reason for it to exist. Without bonnie the film has no reason for being. And talk about a terrible villain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Don't do math Jason. 3 eventual 4 follow ups is correct. 3, 4, and 5. With the eventual 6 on its way. And I agree about how they make money. But some folks like 3 4 5 and will love 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,372 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I don't know anybody that liked Die Hard 4 or 5Here's what wiki says about 6:Before production of A Good Day to Die Hard, Bruce Willis stated that he hoped to retire the character of John McClane after the sixth film. He said "At the moment, I can run and I can fight on screen. But there will come a time when I no longer want to do that. That’s when I’ll step away from the Die Hard films". On February 7, 2013, one week before the release of the fifth film, talk of a sixth film was already beginning. In an interview to promote the fifth film, Bruce Willis simply replied "Yes", if there will be a Die Hard 6. Willis has stated he would like it if Reginald Veljohnson and Bonnie Bedelia would reprise their roles as Al Powell and Holly Gennero for the sixth film. Other possible actors include Samuel L. Jackson, Justin Long, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Jai Courtney. Willem Dafoe has been rumoured to play the film's main antagonist.As of October 2014, the project is still in the early pre-production phase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Willem Dafoe would be a great Die Hard villain, though.The first film will always be the best. Then 3, 2, and 4. Have yet to see the 5th. 4 was enjoyable but making it PG-13 and having Willis take down fighter jets ruined it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmmusic 1,838 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 These are the remastered German editions that have much better picture quality than the US ones.Looking forward to watching the first film since its plot is around Christmas.I will keep the others for later (spring -summer).Love classic 80s action films!Still can't believe (like Die Hard) how hadn't I watched Rambo till my 30 years.. (well, actually I had watched only the 2nd film)And I'm really glad this box doesn't have the 4th movie.I'm hoping to buy on Monday the Spielberg box set, and some Christmas classics (Christmas in Connecticut, Christmas Carol [1984], Holiday Inn, The Bishop's Wife) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
