If Die Hard is a Christmas movie then so is Die Hard 2. Yet the sequel never gets brought into this debate by either side ๐Ÿค”

[โ€“] [email protected] 28 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I still cannot believe that the full title for the home release of that movie was Die Hard 2: Die Harder.

That's what made the late 80s/early 90s cool. Nothing had to make sense, it just had to sound cool to 7 year old kids, and executives coked out of their gourds - combining to make the unlikeliest demographic.

Memphis Design was also popular in the 80s-90s, and is sometimes described as Bauhaus meets Fisher-Price. I wonder if there's any coincidence there.

What would you have called it? Die Less Hard?

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

No. Probably something that sounds even sillier tbh, like "Die Hard 2: the harder they fall the harder they die"

'Die harder too, also.'

Die Hard 2 is great, and it has O'Brien in it! (Oh wait, I'm not in Risa right now)

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I honestly never watched Die Hard, but a movie that seems to be about suffering with O'Brien, well it's a match

Full disclosure, he has a very small part as a pilot.

Just in time for Christmas in July.

If only clemenceau had accepted the Turkish proposal to codify its Christmas movie status in the 1919 Paris agreement, could have prevented a lot of violence smh

First or Second council of Nicea?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

They were in agreement

The thing is, Die Hard wasn't a Christmas movie originally. The script was changed by Constantine in 336 to align it with the Sol Invictus festival.

The Messianic Secret, @Messianic...

IT WAS DECLARED A CHRISTMAS MOVIE AT THE COUNCIL OF NICEA I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE TO GET ANGRY ABOUT THIS

[off topic]

The Long Kiss Goodnight is a Christmas movie and is superior to Die Hard.

I'll with you that it's a Christmas movie, but better than Die Hard? No way Josรฉ
