Die hard 1 is one of my favorite action movies of all time, I never much cared for die hard 2. I liked die hard 3 less than one but still well enough, but seeing as nobody can make a decent action movie anymore, die hard 4 will suck terribly, I dont know why people even bother wondering, its a forgone conclusion.

OK, fine, I'll tell you the two times I cared:
A) Deus Ex (aight, it's a game, but close enough): they fucked up the Battery Park subway station royally (actually called Bowling Green). I wasn't upset because it was inaccurate. I was pissed because the REAL layout of that station would have been awesome to play through. It's got multiple levels and entrances, Three platforms and this funky orange tile work that would have made for a great environment.
B) Spiderman 2: Yeah, sure, the elevated subway through midtown manhattan line not only doesn't exist, but it couldn't. It also went right from uptown to suddenly lurching off above the South Street Seaport or somesuch. Fine. Whatever. None of that bothered me (Spiderman movies take so many liberties with NYC geography that you have to just ignore them).
The last spur of track ended a couple of hundred feet over the East River. Which, when you think about it, makes no sense what so ever. It just ends. It looks like the track itself may be unfinished, but where the hell is it going to go? There's absolutely no sign of them building an honest to goodness bridge over the river to support this train, and that spur just doesn't make any sense.
Even THAT only marginally bothers me.
You know what really bothers me?
On the last platform, even though the train line ends in a spur above no-where, and there's no possible place for it to go,
there are people waiting to catch the train. What the fuck? What kind of retards are these? Where the hell are they going?

I figgered that, but I just needed to get that off my chest.
Those poor people, stranded there at a station platform that would never get them anywhere.
And the first train that goes by? Running out of control because of an arch supervillain.
Tellin' ya. Commuting in this city sucks.
