Live Free or Die Hard
It's been over ten years since Bruce Willis challenged our expectations of ass-kickery with the Die Hard franchise, and what's happened since then? Nothing good, that's for damn sure. Thank god he's back.
The first half of this "leaked" trailer for Live Free or Die Hard is a tense montage of American propaganda -- stars and stripes waving, national monuments sillouetted in grim black and white. But then, there are forty-five seconds of explosions and guns (which, you could argue, is just another form of American propaganda). And in those forty-five seconds of action, there are two car stunts that are unlike anything we've ever seen before, because we live in a sad little world that lacks awesome.
So will this movie sate our inner adolescent, who've yearned for the simple pleasure of Bruce with a machine gun and a tank top? Oh, man, we hope so. Where have you gone, John McClane? Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you. Now get to work saving Justin Long's hipster ass. Without him, who will sell America its iBooks?
