Well spotted, I had forgotten about that one.

This one's longer than "November Rain," is there one longer than this at 9:24? I thought this was the longest but then again I'm not an expert in their catalog…

You don't think a bunch of whining, tantrum-throwing randos will have purple-faced fits over it? We all know there's no reason to, but when does that stop anyone?

James Cameron is obviously a shithead, so let's leave that aside.
I think the film aged just fine. Our society, on the other hand, is deeply, deeply sick.
When you describe Harry Tasker using his government funded "God" (let's not go there) power to stalk, kidnap, interrogate, and blackmail his wife, you are completely missing the point.
You had remembered it correctly, and I think you know you did.
His wife, to whom he had lied for years and years, was evidently considering an affair which, because of the similarities with his own job, made for a good reason to give her a real taste of the excitement she had not only been seeking but did not know was her husband's life behind her back. There's even plenty of grrl power throughout the film.
Beginning with Die Hard, roughly, this is what action movies were all about: smart ass characters in terrible situations, ingenious solutions, double crossings, somewhat dark senses of humor, and lots of explosions.
That's all this film was. It was great fun in the summer of '94, and that's how it should be seen now. It is to our detriment that our self righteous yet totally ignorant society not only refuses to acknowledge realities about relationships between men and women but tells us we should not enjoy films like this because we decide to forcefully shove politics into EVERYTHING.

If this is high school, they were born around 1930, which makes them 92. Some are still around, most are gone.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

Of course not! Just wanted to make sure I was keeping up!
(For a second there, I was afraid I got the model wrong……)
