I loved Die Hard. I don't like action heroes who are too clean and super human. That's another reason why I prefer Batman to Superman (and my favorite Superman movie was the last one, where he got his ass kicked by Lex Luthor). This movie had everything, including one of the greatest villains ever in Hans Gruber. Just the epitome of evil, pretentious, sophisticated euro-villains.
I keep falling back on this, but I find the bunny movies really funny, so here is Die Hard in bunnies.
This movie came out in 1988, which means I saw it during my college drop out days. I dropped out from school and got a job working graveyard shift in a medical lab. I would work from 11pm until about 10am the next day (lots of overtime). When I look back on it I recall it as the closest thing to hell I was ever in. There was one funny/tragic story. We had a new data entry girl start who was drop dead gorgeous named Lisa (for some reason the vast majority of the women who mean anything and/or really break my heart are named Lisa). I used to sit at my work station and just fantasize about her. Fortunately most of the time I was wearing a mask and shield so I guess she never figured it out. Anyway, this lab was filled with speed addicted, sleep deprived sociopaths. There was a pretty specific pecking order on who got to hit on the new girl in the lab, and as the youngest at age 18 (by about 8 years, if I recall correctly) I wasn't even on it, so I never really talked to her while all the other mooks made their lame attempts on her. The weird part was after a while she started to hang out with me at lunch or whenever. I was still really awkward with girls and more or less just listened to her talk and kept my mouth shut, but she would look for me every lunch. I was too clueless to figure out what was going on but one day we were talking about birthdays and I mentioned mine coming up. She asked me how old I was and when I told her she just turned pale and said "On, my God! I thought you were my age but you're just a baby!" That's an exact quote, by the way. I had this epiphany and in about 1/4 of a second the whole situation became completely clear to me, but the damage was done. She kind of stopped hanging out with me after that.
I ran into her about seven years later at Denny's. She was engaged to be married and still looked good, but definitely looked the eight years older than me that she was. However, to this day I still regret no being more aware of the situation, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, she eventually quit.
In spite of being the youngest in the lab I was promoted to Senior Sample Controller due to my having a brain and not being on drugs. My job was to check the work everyone else did for errors and I took a lot of my frustrations out on the older guys who all had a position on the pecking order.
Due to the fact that I worked all night and slept all day I never spent any money and eventually quit with enough money saved to pay for my first year back in college, so all's well that ends well.
I guess the moral of this story is the 80's sucked.
I tried to find a Die Hard fan site or something, but when you type the words "Die Hard Fan" or any variant of that into Google all you get is a bunch of lame football sites, so I will leave it with that story.
