Hotseat! Grill a MoFo: John McClane

Tools    





I don't recall you being particularly affronted by him...or was it something else...?
Eh, no. That's not it. I felt I rather put my foot in it by standing up for him and the bad rep I got for doing so rather dissuaded me from putting my face around here for a while.

Live and learn.



You ready? You look ready.

B. What's your political orientation? How do you feel about people who hold opposing views?
I'm more liberal than a 3 dollar bill. I don't care what your opposing views are, so long as you're not pushing that crap on me. I.E. Passing laws that infringe on my freedom.

C. Ayn Rand, Andrea Dworkin and Hillary Clinton. Shag, Marry, Kill?
Who, who, and WHY?!

D. Say Ingmar Bergman was right and you get to play Death for your soul, which game would you challenge him to and why?
RISK, that way I could live at least another 24 hours.

E. What's the worst thing you've ever done?
Probably lied myself out of a plagiarism accusation.

F. What would your super-hero/villain alter-ego be called and why?
John McClane. I mean, isn't he a super hero?

G. Are you jiggy with it? Is your jigginess inherent, or have you had to work to attain your current jiggitude?
What's this jiggy you speak of? Do you mean grinding with the ladies? If so, I've only done that once and heck, a monkey can do that. Not to say I'm a monkey, or anything.

H. Who's your favourite documentary filmmaker?
Richard Dawkins or Carl Sagan.

I. Has any male movie star made you question your sexuality?
Isn't this where I'm supposed to make the ever continuing joke of George Clooney?

J. In your opinion, what is the greatest scientific or technological advance of your lifetime?
The HPV vaccine.

Bright light. Bright light. Uh oh.
OK.

1. Do you and yours celebrate Christmas? If so, how? What holidays do you and don't you celebrate? Are you interested in and have researched how various holidays originated? Or do you just enjoy the days off?

2. You love space. You know what? I do too. About 45 years ago, I read all these books about how we'd be living on the Moon and going to Mars many years ago. How important do you think the Space Program is, if at all, to the survival of the human race? Would you like to go into space or is your interest only terrestrial, literary and cinematic? By the way, who/what would you want to be/do if you could travel through space?

3. What's the coolest thing John McClane ever did in a movie? How about in real life? On the other hand, what's the dumbest thing you guys ever did?

4. What is your idea of a perfect friendship? How about a perfect marriage?

You ready? You look ready.
1. Do you and yours celebrate Christmas? If so, how? What holidays do you and don't you celebrate? Are you interested in and have researched how various holidays originated? Or do you just enjoy the days off?
Yes, I celebrate Christmas. It's about family and companionship. I'll celebrate anything if someone asked me to, except Columbus Day. Who doesn't enjoy days off?

2. You love space. You know what? I do too. About 45 years ago, I read all these books about how we'd be living on the Moon and going to Mars many years ago. How important do you think the Space Program is, if at all, to the survival of the human race? Would you like to go into space or is your interest only terrestrial, literary and cinematic? By the way, who/what would you want to be/do if you could travel through space?
Space travel is essential to mankind. Without it, we'd probably still be stuck in the 60s or 70s. In fact, we don't support space travel nearly enough as we should. I'd give up my ability to reproduce to go into space, if you catch what I'm saying. I don't really care, so long as I'm in space. It does scare the hell outta me, though.

3. What's the coolest thing John McClane ever did in a movie? How about in real life? On the other hand, what's the dumbest thing you guys ever did?
One liners = coolest thing. Dumbest thing = shot himself.

4. What is your idea of a perfect friendship? How about a perfect marriage?
A perfect friendship is when you don't get pissed off at each other. A perfect marriage is where you can talk about anything, and I do mean anything, and not fight or argue but discuss it.



You ready? You look ready.
1. Define: the perfect woman.
Smells great, amazing sense of humor and not afraid to tease or be teased.

2. Define: the Perfect movie.
Uh, Die Hard.

3. Define: the number 35.
Easy, 21 + 14.

4. Define: the word nothing.
Space.

4. Define: the color Yellow.
Mustard.

5. Define: 5 questions when there are really 6.
Ignoramus.

7. How does one pronounce: Al you min e um
Easy again, potato.



Bright light. Bright light. Uh oh.
I'm not sure if you noticed it or did it on purpose, but my #3 question above, about "coolest" and "dumbest" things was also about you. I seem to have missed your answers to those questions. Can you answer those, and if you can, please do.

Coolest thing I've ever done was probably completely prove someone's idiocy wrong in front of a classroom. Fun times, fun times. Dumbest thing, fallen out a window.



Alright, I have a few inquiries.


In all of your pictures, you're wearing those ultra cool sunglasses. Do you not like your eyes to be photographed? Is there something wrong with them?

What kinds of glasses are they anyways? Mowi Jims? Ray Ban?


Do you have a girlfriend? If yes, tell us about her. If no, what is your opinion on relationships?

Hey John, may I?

Is your name really John? (No answer necessary if you'd like to remain anonymous, don't know ya that well yet so I just wanted to be P.C.)

What was your favorite movie before Die Hard? And if it was Blade Runner what was it before that?

If you were a hot dog and you were starving... Would you eat yourself?

I also love 12 Monkeys, what's your favorite part? (and I won't neg rep you if its not the same as mine, what a relief eh?)

Have you seen Serenity or Firefly? What did you think? One of the very few movies/shows in space where they didn't use sound effects for their ships.

Do you prefer a movie set in space to be realistic by leaving out the sound, or do you care?

If you must.

Is your name really John? (No answer necessary if you'd like to remain anonymous, don't know ya that well yet so I just wanted to be P.C.)
It's Matthew, and even though I say people can call me that they still call me John.

What was your favorite movie before Die Hard? And if it was Blade Runner what was it before that?
Either Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade or The Empire Strikes Back.

If you were a hot dog and you were starving... Would you eat yourself?
No, hot dogs are disgusting. Do you know what they're made from?!

I also love 12 Monkeys, what's your favorite part? (and I won't neg rep you if its not the same as mine, what a relief eh?)
Jeffrey Goines: You know what crazy is? Crazy is majority rules. Take germs, for example.
James Cole: Germs?
Jeffrey Goines: Uh-huh. In the eighteenth century, no such thing, nada, nothing. No one ever imagined such a thing. No sane person, anyway. Ah! Ah! Along comes this doctor, uh, uh, uh, Semmelweis, Semmelweis. Semmelweis comes along. He's trying to convince people, well, other doctors mainly, that's there's these teeny tiny invisible bad things called germs that get into your body and make you sick. Ah? He's trying to get doctors to wash their hands. What is this guy? Crazy? Teeny, tiny, invisible? What do you call it? Uh-uh, germs? Huh? What? Now, cut to the 20th century. Last week, as a matter of fact, before I got dragged into this hellhole. I go in to order a burger in this fast food joint, and the guy drops it on the floor. Jim, he picks it up, he wipes it off, he hands it to me like it's all OK. "What about the germs?" I say. He says, "I don't believe in germs. Germs is just a plot they made up so they can sell you disinfectants and soaps." Now he's crazy, right? See? Ah! Ah! There's no right, there's no wrong, there's only popular opinion.

Have you seen Serenity or Firefly? What did you think? One of the very few movies/shows in space where they didn't use sound effects for their ships.
Yes, and kinda. Amazing for that very fact, actually. BSG does the same thing, too. It's more like very limited than *no* sounds, though.

Do you prefer a movie set in space to be realistic by leaving out the sound, or do you care?
See my answer to the above and you might guess that realistic is quite a boost in rating.



You ready? You look ready.
In all of your pictures, you're wearing those ultra cool sunglasses. Do you not like your eyes to be photographed? Is there something wrong with them?
Uh, I wear them because I look cool. I do look cool, right?

What kinds of glasses are they anyways? Mowi Jims? Ray Ban?
Real Italian Ray Bans.


Do you have a girlfriend? If yes, tell us about her. If no, what is your opinion on relationships?
That's in the works right now, actually. And trust me, she's amazing.
