In the Line of Fire (Eastwood), Day of the Jackal, I mean come on people. It's almost like they WANT something to happen (also fine)

An attorney, he pursued a film career that included DIE HARD 2, CAPE FEAR & IN THE LINE OF FIRE. He was elected twice as Senator, ran for President in 2008, & died in 2015.

neutral · AI labelView post →As well as trade, Trump has killed off a whole genre of thriller - film, novel and TV - which sees the president as worth saving by tier one operatives etc. In The Line of Fire, for example. Even if you don't sympathise with the assassin, you're going to wonder if it's worth the loss of Clint.

neutral · AI labelView post →So ‘In the Line of Fire’ popped up on the tv tonight… We’d sometimes let a movie like that run in the background because John Malkovich is an interesting actor. But tonight, hubby said ‘get that Trump-supporting tool bag off our screen’ re Clint. Gotta admit, kinda hot. 😁

neutral · AI labelView post →In the Line of Fire (1993) remake, but the movie revolves around the lead USSS agent getting an STI while on a traveling protection detail and then giving it to his wife when he gets home. Lots of bad stuff happens in the background as Chris Pratt scratches his rash.

They should go back and add his name to the credits of every movie. "The Unknown (1927), starring Lon Chaney, Joan Crawford, and STEVE FUCKIN' RAILSBACK" 📽️

That was NOT the scene at tonight’s WHCD. Trump could BARELY MOVE to get out of the ballroom

neutral · AI labelView post →1/ During 1990s, image creation progressed from obvious special effects like metal in T2(1991), to realistic-looking dinosaurs in Jurassic Park(1993). But also, CGI was being used to create absolutely real-looking normal scenes, as in In the Line of Fire(1993). www.denofgeek.com/movies/how-1...
