Our dear, sweet Hans Gruber. We will "Always" memorialize you at this time of year for falling into Nakatomi Plaza.

I may have lost track of the purpose of this post. "Take Us Out"

Nakatomi, when the FBI gunship fell.

Enrico Colantoni is legitimately one of the most likeable actors I've ever seen. Even when he's the villain, I find myself rooting for him.

Agree.

On a related note there's a scene in this movie after Enrico's character learns the truth and laments, "But why?" Like, I love Enrico so I'm biased but it was hauntingly well performed. I'm not sure I've ever seen a character more heart broken in a comedy.

Remains my favorite from the show "Just Shoot Me." Solid character actor.

It’s just utterly amazing how well that picture represents each of the actors personalities.

What show/movie is the bottom photo?

You are in for a treat, friend. Watch it when you have the time.

(Galaxy Quest, as the other poster mentioned.)

Also when you have a chance, check out:

Never Surrender: A Galaxy Quest Documentary

but not until after you've seen GQ :)

After I'd watched the documentary, I realized there were some clever nuances/cinematography, etc that I had missed the first couple times I'd watched GQ. Ended up watching GQ soon after that once again.

It's one of those quirky movies that's worth rewatching from time to time. Like The Princess Bride.

It's considered by many (unofficially) to be a Star Trek movie. I've seen so many "Star Trek movies ranked " lists that just casually include it without explanation.

Kind of like how The Orville is essentially one of the Star Trek series now.

Will check it out thanks!

I get the reference.

But why don't you just record live TV?
