STP told me Live Free or Die Hard was entertaining, but pushed the suspension of disbelief. I don’t know what the hell he was talking about. Do I believe Die Hard could dive out of a speeding car seconds before it hit an embankment, fly into the air and destroy a helicopter? Do I believe Die Hard could jump from a collapsing freeway onto an out of control jet and get off said jet before it crashed, thenĀ go save his daughter from an evil computer hacker? Do I believe Die Hard could come up with all those one liners? Fuck ya I do. I think STP might’ve thought this was a pansy ass James Bond flick, I don’t know.
Even though dying hard is his job, I still propose a toast to Die Hard, for all that not dying.
