Die Hard: Cowboys, terrorist, and Bruce Willis’ Extreme Need For Daz … !


You know, I’ve GOT to admit, I think — in a very minor way — Kevin D agreed with me, last night.

That there was absolutely nowt on TV!

Which, obviously means, as the both of us had a spare evening … ?

Well, obviously catching a movie … !

And the movie in question … ?

Was the complete fun that was …


And when I say fun …

Based on the novel, Nothing Lasts Forever, Die Hard sees Bruce Willis as John McClane: an off-duty New York policeman, on a Christmas Eve trip to see his estranged wife, Helen, in Los Angeles.

Of course, things don’t quite as planned.

Because the office building McClane ends up visiting …

Ends up being the target of a group of (apparent) terrorist, lead by Hans Grüber: played by Alan Rickman: a man whose plans seem to want to lead his team to violently protest assorted things.

But actually are a disguise from something else …

Now, I’ve got to admit, I was happily impressed with Die Hard, although not as much as Kevin: who is DEFINITELY a fan!

Saying that … ?

Saying that, Die Hard is definitely worth watching: and one that has kept it’s looks rather well.

I’ll leave you with this …

Die Hard
Paul: ★★★☆
Kevin: ★★★★
Average: ★★★½☆

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.
