There are like a billion f bombs, a butt load of guns and a cat accidentally gets shot and explodes all over the wall. Of course I loved this movie when I first saw it.
The Latin tats, zippos and peacoats seemed cool when I was 16. So did the exploding cat, the double-wine bottle smashing, toilet-hurling, and spinning upside down from a ceiling shooting bad guys. None of this seems cool at all now (OK, the cat thing is still funny), but it was pretty sweet then.

I'm pretty sure my friends and I laughed at the plot and the "dramatic moments" (eg, Willem Dafoe screaming "it was a FIRE FIGHT!") from the first time we saw it though.
To be fair, the peacoats and zippos are still really cool.

In college, my counterstrike clan was [BS] for Boondock Saints, and my player tag was AequitasVeritas. I was an e-badass way back then.

Man, seven years later I still play the CS occasionally and it's depressing how bad I am.

I was never a huge computer game guy, but I loved Red Alert too.

It was all about the Tesla Coils with that game.

i loved that game. i would play for like 24 hours straight and my desk would have snuffed cigarettes and butts like, 12 inches high deposited in like ashtrays, microwave trays that had been eaten, mountain dew bottles...it would be like daylight when i started playing and then it would go day/night/day/night. it was cmpulsive. and i wasn't a huge computer game person either. but i would just BINGE on that game.
i was like that for 2 years in college with warcraft II and diablo II

No way! We could totally have a LAN party.

Joce, you bring the weed. Doc, you bring the wine. I'll bring the inflated sense of worth.
