The ultimate safety mechanism is your original Wilson Combat mags in your Kimber.

For once I have to disagree with you Curt.

Basic firearm safety encompasses far more than the above.

Please read here and educate yourself, as I have done:

Once? You've only disagreed with me ONCE? Now I see your problem. ;o)

Gee, I wish JWM didn't have that pesky kill file on me. I bet he'd

What are you doing up at this hour?

Oh, forgot to mention;

Saw Die Hard 4.0 Friday.

Damn, that WAS dissapointing! Good action scenes, especially the cars that
flip through the air with more effect than a tennis ball that bounces of
Serenas bat, but nowhere near the class of the original.

The famous, and funny one-liners were almost absent, and so was the thrill.
Like i said, a few good action scenes, but nowhere near the class part 1.
Or 3, for that matter.

Old Bruce doesnt seem to be able to carry this movie by himself anymore.
He should have had a better side-kick.

I'm saddened to read this. Hope the rest of the planet disagrees with
you. Would like to see Bruce have another hit. I thought '16
Blocks' ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0450232/ ) kicked some serious
ass.

Bah!

Sorry that you didn't enjoy it, Pete.

HAVE you seen anything good lately? I finally rented 'Dreamgirls' and
that was pretty good. And I enjoyed 'Hannibal Rising' but it wasn't
especially horrific. MORE GORE, MORE GORE! (Otoh, I wouldn't go near
the 'Saw' franchise. No.)

Since when have you been a 'net-nanny' Dutchman, or is that
"net-nanny" or *net-nanny* or net nanny or "Dutchman" or Dutch man?

Yeah, and it bounced on two other cars, with Bruce and his side-kick in
between those cars.

The scene with the jet was whortwhile too.

There wasnt much response from the audience as well. And it was opening
weekend.
That usually says enough.

I bought Sin City a few days ago. Saw that in the same theatre. Awesome.
Both the sound AND graphic effects.

Did you see it? In SS, a certain actor makes a reference to a certain movie
he played in.

Do you which actor and which movie? And the reference? Its a one-liner, with
only four words.

Prior to that, another actor calls him something, and thats a reference to
that same movie. Shouldnt be too difficult.

It was humorless. Well, almost. And no real thrill.

> HAVE you seen anything good lately?


As mentioned before, Death Proof. But most people will disagree.

And i bought Sin City. I am going to rent Deja-Vu, Dreamgirls, The Departed,
Smokin Aces (saw that one in the theatre..) and the The good Shepherd.

I will rent Oceans 13 in a few months or so.

I didnt like saw.
Silence of the Lambs was worth it (its just that i dont like Jodie foster,
aside from her role in Taxi Driver, whis was pretty good...) but everything
that followed up SOTL was a bit crappy.

I will see TransFormers. The CGI must be mindblowing.

No arguments there, but still. ;-)
Do you believe that there is such a thing as an AD (accidental
discharge?) With the exception of the MRI incident, most people on the
gun lists agree that most AD's are ND's. (Negligent discharges).

I'll counter this: I liked DH4 - in fact, I've already paid to see
it twice. The action pieces are great, though I'll concede the
dialogue isn't as good as 1 or 3. It's an action movie truism that the
bad guy makes the film, and Tim Olyphant wasn't quite there as the bad
guy. Honestly, though, there will never be another Hans Gruber - Alan
Rickman set the standard too high in the first film.
The best line in this one went to McClane's daughter Lucy, when the
bad guys give her the phone and tell her to warn her dad off.

What if there's a manufacturer's defect in the equipment? What
constitutes an accidental discharge? A round going off
unintentionally? If it shoots you in the foot but harms no one else,
is that negligent? Ow.

(Can we talk about basketball instead? There were no ND's on the
court.)

Basically, some idiot had their finger on the trigger when they should
not have.

The best safety on a gun exists between the ears of said handler.
($1.00 to Rothstein on tx.guns).

Operator error versus machine failure, eh? I can see the first
happening more often than the latter. Like the People magazine story
of the father who shot the son accidentally while they were hunting
and then killed himself in despair. Or the other father who shot his
daughter thinking she was an intruder in their home, her last words "I
love you." Bigtime operator error.

> The best safety on a gun exists between the ears of said handler.

Agreed. The hunting father should have known where the rest of his
party was before firing. (He had two sons with him that day.) The home
intrusion father was caught by surprise as his daughter lept out of a
closet, fired blindly or in a panic. It's obviously tragic, but also
an indication of poor preparation, poor planning, and poor execution.

Die Hard was probably THE best action movie of the eighties.

"I will count to three... there will NOT be a forth count..."

<Black dude collecting money from Germanic dude>

"I told you...."

<Takagi>

"You want money !?!?!?" What kind of terrorists are you !?!?!?"

<Gruber>

"Hehehehe... WHO says we are terrorists ?!?!?!"

And of course, the scene with the coke addicted company bigshot...

"You want em... and i can give him to ya!""

"Common Hanz, whats with the gun, this is not method acting..."

Indeed.
Violation of major gun safety rule #2:

"Always be sure of your target and what is beyond it."
Once you pull that trigger, you can never take it back.

<snort> "Execution" being the key word there. :-(
If I were ever to shoot an innocent child like that, I'd probably turn
the gun on myself too...

Not sure I could live with that.

I almost went to see DH4 for the second time last night. The show
started at 7:15 and I didn't check for showtimes until 7:30. Had I
made it home from the bike ride (um, had the wind been at my back a
bit more -- or had I been more of a manly man and cranked a little
harder) a bit earlier I'd have gone.

The movie was exactly what I thought it would be. A lot whole lot of
too-impossible-to-ever-happen stuff. The cars, the jet, the semi (all
of which I think I've seen in the commercials).

It was good for a tub and a half of popcorn (No butter. I'm watching
my figure.)

The 80s has some serious contenders - you had Arnie and Sly at

Do you think Willis had a say in what the side-kick looked like? I was
sitting in the theater and thought "Geez, that could be Ashton
Kutcher."

Although magazines like People, etc. say how well Willis, Kutcher,
Demi get along... I'm wondering if this wasn't 4.0 at all, but Bruce
Willis saying, "Man, look what I can do and Ashton's sitting in the
corner sniveling."

Anyway, all in all, I wasn't disappointed in the movie. The action and
CG made it a blast for me. And it was cool seeing Kevin Smith in the
flick. The bad guy shoulda been replaced by the guy with the tattoos
up and down his arms, though - much more sinister in appearance, imo.

Hey, would that last action sequence have worked? I can't see how.
Right through A), A) survives and B) does not. Wouldn't A) have acted
as a vest or offered protection for B), slowed down the projectile or
sent it curving up A)'s neck to his brain or perhaps out the side
instead of directly through and into B) with enough BLAMM to finish
the job?

Plus, back to my Ashton question, Willis says, "That's what makes you
that guy now." Or something similiar. I say it's an expensive inside
joke for the Willis-Kutcher household. Forgot to look to see if Willis
is a producer or co-producer. /conspiracy theory

Willis is kissing Kutcher's ass to make sure that Demi does not cut off his
access to his kids. Look at what Kim Basinger did to that Baldwin brother.
He hasn't seen his kids in years, and the only time he can see his kids is
in a public place like a shopping mall. How fucked is that??

It would not surprise me if Willis asked Kutcher to be in the movie, and
Kutcher said no just because he does not want to be seen as the sidekick
since he is banging Demi Moore's wrinkled twat and pretending it is still
young and not something that got fucked a million times before Kutcher came
along.

Kim Basinger can do NO wrong. She could set Alec on fire (okay, just
the cuff of his shirt), push him down a flight of stairs (can three
steps be counted as a flight?), and then treat him to a Cornwall-spray-
paint-can-thief surprise and I'd cheer her on.

Okay.

Wiki offers "Demi Moore (born November 11, 1961)" which would put Demi
at 45 for a few more months. Have you seen Demi Moore lately? Forty-
five is looking fine, Johnny C.

Wrinkled? Doubtful. Would that we could find out, however that, too,
is doubtful.

And a million times? Perhaps, but I'd bet those hours in the gym (and
not a little bit of surgery, of course) have kept her and her various
parts in excellent condition.

I was not looking at the photo of the gun, but the small photo of the gun in
the holster in the MRI. I did not even scroll down to see the other photo.
The actual gun looks more like a Combat Commander than an actual full size
1911.
