MENDOZAAAAAAAAAAA!

So 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.

Actually I kind of like Die Hard. Strangely enough I saw it last night for the first time in quite a very long time (not counting snippets i've seen on television).

While it is not nearly as cool as it was when i was 13 it still has a place in my heart. Kind of like the Wizard of Oz for other people. It's not as magical as it was when I was younger but it still brings back nostalgia.





Wow, i'm really fucked up.
