I'm sure McClaine has kicked his smoking habit by now as well.

That's an excellent synopsis, Will.

Maybe it's the person who says it...because I recently watched Sneakers on HD DVD and the great Sidney Poitier says that very word in a PG-13 movie.
And you believe, at heart, everyone's a killer...

Sneakers was almost fifteen years ago. Hell, Women in Red had frontal nudity. |

As did Kramer vs Kramer. It was rated PG and came out in 1979. |

Unless word of mouth is really good on this, I could probably just wait for DVD on this. I hope this PG-13 crap really backfires on this one.

You just got a standing ovation from me with that one, dude.
The way I see it, if Snakes on a Plane can be rated R and do well why not this?

Uh, Snakes on a Plan didn't do well. It was a pretty large disappointment actually and many industry observers blamed the late changes to turn it into an R-rated film. |

Re: Die Hard 4 in the works.
That piece of shit was never gonna make any coin. It only became a "dissapointment" because the utterly unexpected Internet hype gave rise to unrealistic expectations of financial performance. Of course the suits needed to blame something... how about the worse script idea in recent memory, so bad that even J6P saw thru it and stayed the hell away? My friends were rolling their eyes when I said I would check it out.
