Dear Danny Butterman: Your movies suck.

Watched Die Hard last night, in preparation for a story I'm theoretically writing. Apart from Alan Rickman's rather delightful scenery chewing (om nom nom), it was a tedious piece of bloated crap. I'm glad I didn't pay theater money to see it back in the day, since it would only have helped to kill my love of movies that much sooner. Also, hi there James Shigeta, you are always awesome.

I did like the bit where Bruce, Alan, and stupid exec are all on the phone, and Bruce is trying to save exec's life and exec is too stupid to figure it out.

I can't help but thinking that if Bruce hadn't been there, the robbers would have stolen their crap, blown up some shit, and left. Much lower body count and less property damage.

Still, a more watchable holiday movie than The Christmas Shoes.

I...when he tearfully filled the Villain Who Just Won't Die full of lead, despite his Issues With Guns, I...I'm afraid I giggled.

That's better than my reaction, which was to Feel Thoroughly Disgusted. Yeah, a man who can pump lead is a Real, Healthy Man!

Well, there was that, too.

Somehow I imagine him eating his revolver under the Christmas tree the next morning.

Only if it was covered with powdered sugar.

Now Everything's OKAY! And that bit with the music was recycled from Aliens. Not that I would know that or anything. >.>
