Tomorrow I’ll Be Living Free and Dying Hard

If you know me, or even if you’ve been reading my blog for a length of time, then you’ll know that I love Bruce Willis. I’m a huge fan of his work, with some of my favorites of his being Sin City, Hart’s War, The Sixth Sense, The Fifth Element and Armageddon.

But, nothing - and I do mean nothing - tops the Die Hard series in regards to being some of my favorite movies of all time. I can almost mouth the words with them. And while I adore Bruce Willis, I think the real deal is that I’m a die hard fan (no pun intended actually) of John McClane. No, really. I can’t believe I’m about to admit this, but… I even have a John McClane action figure.



So, tomorrow, my man is back on the big screen in Live Free or Die Hard and I will be headed to the theaters with friends to catch it. I’ve been waiting months for the opening and am beyond excited. Unfortunately, it was toned down a bit for ratings purposes, but Bruce said he thinks this Die Hard is better than the first in spite of it. Yippie-ki-yi-ay motherfuckers!

After catching Die Hard 4 (oh come on, they can call it whatever they want - but that’s what it is) I’ll be heading to Ottawa to celebrate Canada Day there and head to a friend’s legendary Canada Day barbecue. I’ll be back on Tuesday - see ya then. :)

Please tell me that box has never been opened.

It’s out here mid next week - refreshingly soon after release in the states - and I definitely want to catch it then. Between Die Hard 4 (what’s with the .0?) and Shrek III there’s no comparison.

Of course the box has never been opened :)

Dude, it totally rocked. He was right, definitely as good as and very possibly better than the first one.

Have fun in Ottawa! It’s a great place to spend Canada day. Though the entertainment on parliament hill is likely to be a bit yokel (all Canadian entertainers) :).

The first time I saw Bruce was in Moonlighting with Cybil Shepard, the chick from Taxi Driver. I haven’t seen Die Hard 3 or 4 but the first two were the kind of flicks I could watch over and over again.

I’m not going to come straight out and say that I love Bruce Willis because that would be kind of freakish. But, I definitely love his movies and I have to admit that I’ve seen every film he’s ever done, even the bad ones.

How many other Bruce Willis dolls do you have?

LMAO - none, but only because I have never seen any others. :)

Yes he’s a very good actor. I intend to see the movie in near future.

hope you are doing well. tc/

“You… just killed a helicopter with a car”

That McClane figurine has Will Smith ears! Still hardcore though :)
