thehefnerSo I finally saw DIE HARD.
That was one of the dumbest fucking movies I've ever seen in my life. Or at least, it was the dumbest fucking movie that I saw which I was *expecting* to be excellent. It's up there with the SCARFACE remake.
Seriously, I was wondering where McBain was.
Y'know, if only it had just a teeny bit more ironic humor, it would have been brilliant. It just needed to be a teeny, weeny bit closer to, say, LAST BOY SCOUT or even SNAKES ON A PLANE levels of self-awareness to actually be awesome. And yet, it was just that one shade too straight-faced and serious. Shane Black would have done fucking wonders for this movie.
C'mon, even when this came out, it had to be ridiculously cliched. It just had to.
