Die Hard 6

[Doctor Jones]

I think it was the hype. I mean it's a good movie, just nothing memorable. The only thing that I really remember from it is that I saw it.

12 Years a Slave will stand the test of time and just get stronger. Argo will be fine and it's a very good movie but it's not a movie people will immediately have conversations about when they bring up very good movies.

I have watched Argo 5-6 times. So, for me, it works just as well as a popcorn flick.

How do you definitively know Argo won't?

 

[Doctor Jones]

How often do people talk about Argo now?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I don't really care about those two films now. Give me Wolf of Wall Street any day.

 

[MadVillainy]

This guy gets it.

Exactly. To take nothing away from it's quality, but Die Hard has resonated more than any Best Picture winner I've seen listed so far.

 

[Teelie]

Who knows (without looking it up) what movie won best picture for the year Die Hard was released? Best Picture does not always mean most memorable.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Rain Man won 'Best Picture' in 1988.

Who knows (without looking it up) what movie won best picture for the year Die Hard was released? Best Picture does not always mean most memorable.

The Best Picture winner is rarely the most memorable movie of that particular year. Hell, I thought "Birdman" was good, but it was nowhere near as memorable as "Guardians of the Galaxy". Yet there are a few exceptions to that, such as "Titanic", "Gladiator", and "Return of the King" to name a few.

 

[Teelie]

I know, which is kind of my point. A best picture win doesn't really mean much if the movie is quickly forgotten. Rain Man is probably more memorable for the references that came from it let alone anyone who actually knows what the movie is about.

The best picture winner is chosen by people who are looking for a very stringent and outdated set of criteria they arbitrarily decide is important. Occasionally their criteria and the audience intersect and agree but it isn't often.

 

[Octoberist]

No one talks about The Artist.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Or The King's Speech right? Or is it because I haven't seen it. It looks so damn dull.

Yeah I think what it comes down to is if it will stand the test of time and be remembered.

MEW wants her own Die Hard film...

"I'm ready! I'm still ready!" Winstead told us. "I'm barefoot for a lot of [10 Cloverfield Lane] and so McClane was brought up a lot. In the close-ups I'd wear slippers just for comfort, but in the wide shots I had to go barefoot. So Dan [Trachtenberg] would say, 'You gotta go full McClane. Full McClane!'

Winstead didn't reveal whether Lucy McClane has a role in the new Die Hard movie or not, but says she's game to get her own Die Hard film.

"Hey, I've always wanted to take over the McClane name. I'm more than ready!"

I'd much rather that than anything involving Bruce Willis.

 

[flickchick85]

No one talks about The Artist.

That's true, but I'll be honest, I've rewatched that film more than any BP winner of the last decade except No Country for Old Men and The Departed. It's just a super charming, cleverly-made film I find infinitely rewatchable. And I'll always support a comedic/light-hearted movie winning best picture because I hate how the Oscars disrespect comedy so, even if it's not one of the more memorable BP winners, I'll never begrudge it its win the way I do with, say, Crash.

She'd do a better job than Willis these days, but it's just not a good idea. Nothing involving dragging this series out for anything other than a respectable conclusion at this stage is a good idea, imo.

 

[Fallen Angel]

You bring back Lucy you bring back Jai Courtney as Jack.

 

[Teelie]

I'd watch a Lucy McClane movie over another John McClane one at this point.

Or The King's Speech right? Or is it because I haven't seen it. It looks so damn dull.

It has it's moments and is definitely a very good movie. However, i'm not sure it was as interesting or deserving as the likes of Social Network, Inception, or even Black Swan and Toy Story 3.

While i was disappointed with The Artist, i sometimes get a bit bored with bashing past Oscar winners that might not be as much talked about nowadays, even when they're incredibly well made. Slumdog Millionaire comes to mind, it was the perfect feel good film and it was also refreshing to see a story like that set in India, instead of America or a rich European country as it's usualy done.

For a truly bad oscar winner, take a look back in history and see Greatest Show on Earth.

 

[jmc]

This franchise just needs to be put out of its misery.

I'd just go back to Crash.

 

[dude stannis]

After 10 Cloverfield Lane, anyone who doesn't want a Lucy McClane series is on my **** list.

 

[Tg11]

You could have a new series altogether spin off but with Jack as the title character with John, Jr. becoming like his old man in the sense of always being in the wrong place at the wrong time

Yes it hits all the right notes but it's also unremarkable.

But if the 6th one is going to be a prequel well my ideal young John McClane would be either Scott Eastwood or Garrett Hedlund in the role that made Bruce Willis into a star
