This was my attempt at redemption for failing to write about...er, hockey...for the past month or so on a hockey blog.<br /><br />Andy, I'm not as big of a fan of Rambo 3, either, but I thought they did a pretty good job on the last Rambo, considering it had been almost 20 years between the 3rd and 4th movies and Stallone is now 847 years old.Nataliehttp://thescrappyoctopus.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032270565769490514.post-4339356592794859532010-01-08T01:45:16.643-05:002010-01-08T01:45:16.643-05:00Incredible post.

I don't even...well, the bright side to having had this conversation is that now I get to make Alf jokes ad nauseum when it comes to Bert. I'm really going to enjoy that.<br /><br />Andy, fair enough. It's true that if there's one thing Hollywood does well, it's exploit a popular movie (especially action movies) to the point of tears. The Rambo series is another one I love...and while I can't really say anything horrible about any of the films, nothing compares to the first two.Nataliehttp://thescrappyoctopus.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032270565769490514.post-21505291493593153472010-01-05T18:26:50.152-05:002010-01-05T18:26:50.152-05:00Die HArd 3 & 4 are both good, but cannot compa...Die HArd 3 & 4 are both good, but cannot compare to 1 of 2 which are among my favouritesAndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13786221358145281248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032270565769490514.post-52123823346985114792010-01-05T17:45:21.584-05:002010-01-05T17:45:21.584-05:00I guess I meant as hairy as Harry (but that just s...I guess I meant as hairy as Harry (but that just sounds weird).

TSO is all about manipulation.<br /><br />Really? Harry from the Hendersons? I picture him as more of a cuddly type, like an Alf. It doesn't hurt that I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn that Bert eats cats on the regular.Nataliehttp://thescrappyoctopus.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032270565769490514.post-91776629602425382382010-01-05T17:34:29.433-05:002010-01-05T17:34:29.433-05:00Oh the Borat thing...

And the 3rd one, although equally cheesy, is on TV like every other weekend, and I always seem to catch it at exactly the same part, when Sammy L. is left alone in the subway on the payphone. But to be honest, I worked on that post until the wee hours of the morning last night, so maybe I could have picked a better Euro-villain. Not Ivan Drago, though, because I'm reserving all rights to use him as a reference until the time is right. Permanent. Dibs.<br /><br />By the way, the Die Hard series may not have been consistently stellar, but compare it to the Rocky series, in which there is a certain sequel I refuse to acknowledge, but maybe that's because I love Rocky way too much. <br /><br />Also, the banana hammock? Please Google Image search it. Once you do, I expect you to be a tad more concerned.Nataliehttp://thescrappyoctopus.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032270565769490514.post-44792397693233078472010-01-05T17:01:55.515-05:002010-01-05T17:01:55.515-05:00Okay, first things first...

I think you're afraid of your mounting man-traction to him. Own it.<br /><br />Thanks, Andy! The reason I used Simon is that he was the lame one, which doesn't really make sense because Filppula rocks, but I always like using the lamest example possible. I guess it's a thing with being a constant underachiever; it's my own personal ethos.Nataliehttp://thescrappyoctopus.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032270565769490514.post-69524016882872677002010-01-05T15:01:29.527-05:002010-01-05T15:01:29.527-05:00What a frickin awesome recap.
