In case it escaped your attention, this weekend marks the 30th anniversary of the release of Die Hard, which is my all-time No.1 action movie. Not a wasted moment in the whole film: as someone much more knowledgeable than me about movies said: "Every moment is either setting something up or paying it off." And McClane might lose in this one. "If Schwarzenegger gets on the bus, the passengers are gonna survive. Keanu, who knows?" The same's true of Die Hard, back then. Curmudgeonly sidekick in Moonlighting playing a part written for Sinatra back in the day... it could have gone either way.
Support to die for: "No, I am an EXCEPTIONAL thief..." "We're gonna need some more FBI guys, I guess..."
So, enjoy your weekends. This Sunday, I'll be watching the best Christmas movie ever released in July...
best,
M.
