Continuing from the other night’s “1991’s Point Break still treats revolvers as the norm”, watching the 1996 From Dusk Till Dawn in the same bar and they’re still exoticizing mag-fed semiauto pistols, fetishistic shots of how the slide moves independently of the barrel and frame

Like Die Hard 2’s mythologization of the polymer-frame Glock as invisible to metal detectors (no), it’s clear the Wonder Nines and the whole semi-auto pistol revolution were just working their way through the culture at that point, weird to think that was within my lifetime
