Argh

I watched Patriot Games with [livejournal.com profile] classicaljunkie last night. I enjoyed it in theaters when I saw it with my dad ~15 years ago, but now it's just ridiculous, basically a slasher/monster movie painted to look like political intrigue.

The scenes I remembered most remain poignant anyway, and I discovered some new ones. My new hobby is to bellow I WILL FUCKING DESTROY YOU! I WILL MAKE IT MY MISSION IN LIFE to someone different once per week. Maybe I'll start with the neighbor's dog and work my way up.

getting the shaft is what it means to be sean bean; goldeneye, patriot games, ronin, fellowship of the ring. i have long sought a movie wherein he at least is alive by the end.

he's alive in the end? i thought he died. he's arrested or something though, right? seems it wouldn't be a sean bean movie if he didn't get screwed figuratively speaking somehow. heaven forbid he win out, get the girl, and solve the crime.

I think he got arrested but was otherwise okay. Maybe eventually he'll be in a new movie where everything is fine with him in the end. Checking imdb, I am reminded he was in the Silent Hill movie and was okay in that one, but he was never in much danger in that movie.
