A Good Day to Die Hard: 5 Reasons To Be Excited!

4. History Tells Us That Every Die Hard Film Is Excellent

Subjective? In true John McClane stubbornness ... no! Some people certainly have their hang-ups about the 4.0th instalment in the franchise, considering McClane took on more of the €˜True Lies€™ spy-isms than the gritty beat cop of earlier movies and they€™d be well within their rights to do so; and well-expected to do so with a line like €˜007 of Plainfield New Jersey€™ making the trailer. Ultimately, with Die Hard, €˜expected€™ or €˜predictable€™ has become an art-form. There€™s a Die Hard €˜Stock€™ that causes mild diarrhea symptoms in theatres around the world if it€™s not adhered to. So €˜adhered to€™ it shall be. We know that he€™ll say yippee-khy €“eh, we know he€™ll make a lot of loud, pained grunts and we know for certain that there€™ll be plenty of €˜American humble pie€™ for which John McClane has been lauded in the past. Add to these, the newer additions of ladies of €˜Bond-girl€™ hotness, or thereabouts, and what you have is the makings of the Die Hard €˜sticky-fly-paper€™ Stock which fans can€™t help but fall for.

A. J. S. Scott was created as a homunculus by a mad English Alchemist who was trying to make rum from ink and seawater. He is still a fan of both and he has no comment on what happened to all the ‘No Exit’ signs in Islington Underground Station when he visited for Beltaine. You can send him missives by bribing the Right Raven with sour-strings, or: Instagram: @ajsscott Tumblr: andrew-scott-things.tumblr.com
