Christmas Party at Nakatomi Plaza Tomorrow

Went to see Die Hard with buddies as a sophomore or junior in HS. Was expecting Tango & Cash. Got arguably the greatest action movie of all time instead. Never have I gone in to see a flick with lower expectations and have it wind up being a masterpiece than this. Planning to watch it tomorrow.

Two things that bother me about this movie.  And these are probably the only things that bother me because it's otherwise perfect:

1.  No company has its Christmas party on Christmas Eve.

2. USC ain't playing Notre Dame on Christmas Eve.

Other than that, pure genius.

"Aw, shit! Come on. I got 50 bucks bet on them assholes."

in a movie that asks you to suspend all possible belief, those are the two things that bug me because they're not realistic. 

yeah, the entire movie is unrealistic, but come on, don't say your company Christmas party is on Christmas Eve.  nobody does that.  and USC ain't playing Notre Dame on Christmas Eve.  they play every year during the regular season in either October or November.  pick a different game to show.

they're continuity errors that should have been corrected.

The first Community paint ball episode is awesome and filled with Die Hard references.

Maybe a Japanese company that expects you to live at the office would have a party on a day off so you don’t actually miss work. No one ever said Nakatomi had a good work/life balance.

My kids have been in charge of hiding the elf on a shelf this year. This morning we woke up to find it perched up in the tree, holding a cotton snowball. The elf had tied a note to a stuffed animal slumped at the base of the tree. The note read:

“Now I have a snowball

Ho-Ho-Ho”

i want to believe this.  i want to believe that kids are this clever.  i want photos. 

if it happened, then there's no reason not to give it to me.

You know my name but who are you?  Just another American who saw too many movies as a child?  Another orphan of a bankrupt culture who thinks he's John Wayne?  Rambo?  Marshall Dillon?

Was always kinda partial to Roy Rogers actually. I really like those sequined shirts.
