Live Free or Die Hard
I went to see the new Die Hard movie tonight, Live Free or Die Hard. It was great ... I LOVE fast paced action movies like that. There were fabulous car chases and shoot out scenes. And there was an amazing scene where the terrorists took clips from speeches made by at least a dozen American Presidents and pasted single words or phrases together to get their message across the airwaves. That was SO cool!!
The previews before the movie included a preview for the new Simpsons movie (which I don't really plan to see). They have been talking about finally revealing where Springfield is. There are so many states that have a Springfield. Well, in a scene in the preview there's a line that goes like this: "Look at that, you can see the four states that border Springfield: Ohio, Nevada, Maine, and Kentucky!" It was hilarious! Anyone who knows even a little geography laughed right out loud. But THEN, in the actual Die Hard movie the action moves from DC (which is paralyzed in gridlock) to the main characters carjacking a vehicle and driving quickly to West Virginia where they have a super huge calamity at a power plant and then they hop a helicopter and fly quickly to Baltimore because "it's not that far away". Fascinating. That wasn't supposed to be funny that time! I always get a kick out of how the DC area is portrayed in movies. But I've never seen it set up as a hop, skip and a jump to West Virginia. Haha!!
Anyway - go see it. Lots of fast paced fun!
