Live Free or Die Hard
So they did the usual thing of having a big flashing cursor where the password gets entered and if you want to blow up a house all you have to do is upload a virus but besides all the hollywoodification of the Haxxor side of things this is a pretty good movie. A bit cheesy in parts of course, but this is Die Hard we are talking about.
Bruce is showing his age a bit, but for all that he still drags his broken, bullet-riddled body through the movie beating anything in his path to death - leading me to surmise that the ‘Die Hard’ franchise is actually a series of zombie movies, cos seriously no-one could live through that amount of shit.
Timothy Olyphant is the bad guy and my, my hasn’t he aged well - although he appears to be channelling Tim Robbins throughout - which is still no bad thing. Justin Long (the Mac guy) isn’t bad as the side-kick and Kevin Smith is hilarious as the overweight-still-living-at-home-comic-con-loving-haxxor geek. There’s a bit of parkour, a bit of humour and a lot of explosions and fighting.
I’m not going to give away any spoilers here - because think about it, it’s Die Hard - what do you think happens? I’ll just leave you with this inspired tribute to the franchise (now with added 4th verse!)
Everybody sing:
‘We’re gonna die (die) die (die) die (die) DIE HARD
We’re gonna die (die) die (die) die (die) DIE HARD
Yippee kayay! Mother fucker!!
Yippee Kayay! Mother fucker!!’
Seriously — I want to see this movie? But that will hold me until I do. SO wrong, yet so hilarious that you can make a montage and it’s one long version of the same movie… three times.

Thanks for finding this video, it’s a fitting tribute to the best christmas movie ever. Do you think John McClane got over his fear of flying by blowing up loads of aircraft. That’s got to be some expensive therapy.
