Here’s an appropriate meme for today.

I know what you’re thinking. “But it’s not Christmas!” Die Hard was released on July 15, 1988. I was in an overheated movie theater when I saw it. It was most certainly not Christmas.

BTW, as an action movie, Die Hard is loaded with unrealistic nonsense. You have to buy into that for action movies. But one thing that bugged me was when, in German, Hans tells Karl to shoot the glass. Karl acts surprised, and we all assume it’s because he doesn’t realize McClain is barefoot, so he doesn’t see the point. However, to run the point into the ground, Hans repeats, “Shoot the glass,” slowly and in English. Only then does Karl, who’s been speaking German the entire movie, understand him.

Happy 35th anniversary, Die Hard!
