Bruce Willis Dares to Say Die Hard Is Not a Christmas Movie
Bruce Willis has officially declared Die Hard is not a Christmas movie during his Comedy Central roast.
Per THR, The Comedy Central Roast Of Bruce Willis was recently taped and is set to air on the network on July 29. Willis opted to close the roast with his controversial declaration saying, "Die Hard is not a Christmas movie!"
“It’s a god damn Bruce Willis movie!” he added.
When asked after the show how fans of the seminal action film would respond to his statement, Willis simply said, "We'll see."
Fans have gone back and forth over the years - mostly during December - on the burning pop culture issue. Though Die Hard's events take place during Christmas Eve, does the action flick tick enough boxes in the 'Christmas Movie' category to actually qualify? Last December, Die Hard's screenwriter Steven E. de Souza confirmed that it did, albeit jokingly.
Zombieland 2 Set for 2019 Release, Deadpool Writers, Venom Director on Board
Sony Pictures will be bringing Zombieland 2 to theaters in 2019 with the original's director, writers, and many of its stars, including Emma Stone, Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, and Abigail Breslin.
As reported by THR, the sequel will go into production in January of 2019 and will arrive later in the year in October, ten years after 2009's original Zombieland.
Zombieland director, Ruben Fleischer, returns for the sequel and has most recently been working as director for this fall's Venom. The two writers for the original film, Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, have been writers for Deadpool & Deadpool 2 and teased this announcement a couple months ago.
Modder Fixes Aliens: Colonial Marines’ AI With One, Simple Coding Change
Jamesdickinson963 of ModDB, who has been working on overhauling and improving 2013's Aliens: Colonial Marines, has discovered a typo in one line of Colonial Marine's game config file, or .INI, that may be to blame, at least in part, for its lackluster AI.
The error, which was one extra letter, looks like this:
ClassRemapping=PecanGame.PecanSeqAct_AttachXenoToTether -> PecanGame.PecanSeqAct_AttachPawnToTeather.
As you can see in the bold text, the last word says Teather, when it should in actuality say Tether. This command should have controlled "tactical position adjustment, patrolling and target zoning." Due to this typo, it seemingly did nothing.
