Speaking of North Koreans, by the way, has anyone seen Olympus Has Fallen yet?
Fantastic movie. I don't say this easily, but it was...better than Die Hard. The original Die Hard has always been, to me, the epitome of the great American Action Movie. Great characters despite simple and even underdeveloped personalities, an exciting and worthwhile plot despite little to no backstory or explanation, and entertaining from beginning to end. So many action movies fail in one or all parts. Shitty characters that aren't made up for in likability, overly simplistic or needlessly complex plots without proper development, poor writing. (Basically, every Steven Seagal or Schwartzenegger movie falls into this category, with a few exceptions). Die Hard was the perfect balance. Not an Oscar winner but perfect in every way that matters for a movie that ends with the bad guy being dropped off of a building.
Olympus Has Fallen was basically Die Hard in the White House, with a little Air Force One mixed in. I have to believe the writers, producers, and directors made a conscious effort to pay homage to Die Hard in this movie, from the witty and profane banter over radio (vulgar and funny without being unbelievably verbose or well-read from a 'working man cop' character), to things like "meeting the bad guy pretending to be a good guy while smoking a cigarette" scene. It's an undeniable truth that times change, and movies like Psycho, Gone With the Wind, et cetera, while still classic films, contain much different styles of dialogue and such than today's films. What was incredible in the 80s looks a little outdated to us now, despite how enduring and entertaining it still is, and Olympus Has Fallen is sort of like a Die Hard for our generation. I highly, highly recommend you all see this movie. Come back and tell me it isn't the Die Hard of the Internet Generation. Then go watch Die Hard, because goddamnit it's still a classic film and gets better every time.
Yippie-ki-ay, motherfuckers.
This ear infection + cold combination. Complete shit.
Teenagers who get accustomed to their parents money. It's one thing to be spoiled, but to take advantage of it and take all your parents money and not do anything with your life? That is so pathetic.
Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'

I agree with this. My parents make me pay for pretty much everything with my money and have since I was 16, which I'm glad, it helped me a lot.
Then I have dumb ass friends who are like 20, live with their parents, have no job, don't go to school and just take their parents money and spend it on weed and alcohol.
