Writer's Block: B.Y.O.B. Holidays

Die Hard.

Bruce Willis saves Christmas, wins back his wife, and takes out Alan Rickman in one action packed, crack-tastic film featuring the theme of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony as the motif of the terrorists-who-aren't-terrorists? What isn't there to enjoy about this rousing holiday romp complete with bombs, machine guns, badly copped Southern accents, and German theieves who can't understand German and just won't effing die?

I love this terrible, bloody film and all its Roy Rogers-referencing glory. Not to mention that beyond the stellar cast, so much of the popular culture of the last two decades has been influenced by it. Once you've seen Die Hard, so many more things in your life begin to make sense. It's the best Christmas film ever, seriously.

Ho ho ho. Now I have a machine gun.

I never would have watched it without Alan Rickman, but now I just love it. In fact I had this conversation with my mom a few days ago.
Me: We should watch Die Hard!
Mom: Die Hard?!
Me: Yeah!
Mom: Why??
Me: Well, it has Alan Rickman.
Mom: Oh...
