I always preferred Die Hard but in the past few years I've began to choose Lethal Weapon over Die Hard. The characters in LW are far more complex and fleshed out and the relationship between Riggs and Maurtaugh is far more captivating than the relationship between McClane and Powell.
But at this point, the most underated Gibson role (and his best acting) is "Conspiracy Theory" with Sandra Bulloch (who I hated till I saw this) and Captain Picard (the creepy agent villain in a wheelchair.) Gibson as a schizo. You have to see it if you haven't.
Oh! I've seen "Conspiracy Theory"! I think it was with my dad (he's one of those secret Mel Gibson fans). I don't totally remember it all that well, but I liked it. Maybe I should give it another watch this weekend...
Oh, and it was Julia Roberts, not Sandra (thank gosh).
Nice catch, Courts, thanks. I was wondering if it might be her, I always got them confused (which is why I hated Bulloch, I thought she was just copying Roberts, whom I also hated.)
Anyhow, yes, see Conspiracy Theory again, it has emotional depth, it makes you think, and then it completely scares the shit out of you. You should do a show on it.
On the other hand, now that I know it wasn't Bulloch, I like it less. Which sucks. Cause I like Bulloch now. Pretty Woman. Uh.
I've never actually seen "Pretty Woman", but people always say to me "Oh my gooosh, Julia Roberts is sooo good in it, Courtenaaay, you have to see it!"
I liked Sandra in "While You Were Sleeping", but that's about it. I like Julia in a few movies (Notting Hill, Erin Brockovich, Steel Magnolias) but she doesn't really do much for me either.
Then again, Bulloch made "Speed." And "Speed Boat." Don't get me started on Keeno, but I adored "Day the earth stood still." Just whatever effect the guy put on the film to make it look like a '70's film, then again I saw it online in one of those Japanese theatres, so it may be just a qual thing. I'm a southerner so I don't usually like movies about the south. But I actually had a crush on Bulloch. She has a cute nose.
I used to hate Keanu until I saw "Much Ado About Nothing" and "A Scanner Darkly". My brother was always a big fan of the Matrix movies (which I have yet to see) and his enthusiasm turned me off Keanu for years...
"Scanner" was pretty fucking brilliant. And I like PK Dick, so I do compare it "Bladerunner." It actually has a similar paranoic feel.
Whatever you do, do not see any Matrix product, repeat, do not see them. These are mind control devices. We must not be subverted. The effect on your psyche would be incalculable. I don't understand how you survived 'much ado.' You must be a Titan.
"You, sir, are an ass." (Did Michael Keaton say that or was that said to him. I think that was one of his lines?
I'm going with Die Hard for the fact that I own all of them. I never bought any of the Lethal Weapon movies. The first Die Hard movie revolutionized American action movies. You were funny though!=)
I love the accent! I like Die Hard more, I think the first and the third movies were good, but I can barely remember any of the Lethal Weapon movies after the first one.
i Think Both r Very Good but i prefer lethal weapon
