It only gets better....

OK. I admit it: I've seen "Die Hard" over 100 times. I'll watch it EVERY single time it's on. I have the DVD. When I'm depressed, I'll watch ALL five "Die Hards." They cheer me up. However, it's the first one - the only one - that I really, really love. I've always liked Bruce from his "Moonlighting" David Addison and most of his movies, such as "The Sixth Sense." I always come back to John McClane. My obsessive watching of "Die Hard," causes inevitable grief to family members: "Oh no, not again." Or "Quick. Don't let her see the satellite grid. 'Die Hard's' on again!!" Or, "Did you hide the five DVDs; she's getting ready for a McClane binge watch." To add to the family's consternation, I countered with "'Die Hard' Dialogue Day" where in I only answer in comments and statements from the movie. It's pretty easy when you have the entire film memorized. Sometimes, I find it appropriate to sneak in dialogue from the other four films, but I generally keep it to DHI. I like, for example, "Well, maybe that mime..." from DHIII, and references to "The Warlock." But, my heart belongs to DHI. I have always been a fan of the adventure film (no rom-coms, chick flicks, and sappy "Hangover-type" stuff). Real men, like John McClane don't do demeaning activities. They just take out terrorists - twelve or so at a clip, barefoot, in an blackened undie shirt, and one gun - and only wits, humor, and cleverness. Now, I must go and program, with the help of my techie daughter, my new phone so its ring tone will be - ah, you guessed it - "Yippee - Kay- Yay...." and you know the rest. John, ve du not alter za plan - ever. (I'm that analog woman in a digital world, too.)
