Film 3 of 3 in 2 days whooop lets do this.
so in about may mama was randomly asking were there any films i hadnt seen on the big screen that i regret not seeing to which my answers were basically all of my top 10 films that i hadnt been to the cinema for as i either couldnt afford it or wasnt alive or was to young to see it.
& then it happened on Tuesday 12th November while looking through my phone to see if the odeon had advance tickets to go & see Jojo Rabbit for my every other day check it was there. The Odeon Christmas Bring Back DIE HARD. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
so here i am with littlun in screen 4 of my odeon because she wanted to see it with me to & was willing to by me popcorn before the film as a thankyou for her £5 ticket & we are ready to go. Be interesting to see if everyone’s quoting it like they did Elf last year or if its just going to be me & her.
It wasnt just me & her you will be happy to hear. We were sat in my go to seats in screen 4 which she thinks are cool. Lots of storage places for your stuff & scarves. Id say there was probably about 50 people in there to see Die Hard, which is pretty good. My sister did keep throwing popcorn at me by the way.
Now as its a through back there’s only a few trailers, so we had Jumanji & Star Wars & something else but for the life of me i cant remember what it was. Sorry. Sister did agree that if we had a hook we could steal that Jojo Rabbit posters, or longer arms. She does think Shitler looks scary.
& then the film started… Spoilers probably coming i mean after all the film is older than me… & heres my actual Die Hard review for you. https://popcornforone.co.uk/dvd-films/film-57-die-hard/
Its still the 6th best film of all time peoples, it really is… yes theres some flaws & plot holes, but i am willing to over look that. I am always willing to over look it.
It was the original cut of the film as well, which now the BBFC rate as a 15 & not an 18 (oh how 31 years have changed attitudes). But you can see through Ellis head, the blood splatter is intense & you see all that glass in the feet (oh my die hard socks with those on are epic even if really awkward when you wear shoes).
Making fist with your toes after a flight doesnt work, im sorry it doesnt. Im still going to attempt the whole trick yourself to be drunk to get over jetlag one day, i need to attempt it at least.
We noticed something for the first time watching it. Ellis has a line about some aged old Brie, which both me & my sister at the same time went say what & then laughed. Thats such an Ellis thing to say.
Argyll & Theo are just two of the best characters in cinema, not just this film. Twas the night before christmas speech is epic. & also Argyll just being Argyll is everything.
& you know its not christmas until Hans falls off the 30th floor of the Nakatomi Plaza is it. God Bless you Mr Rickman, you really were one of a kind. ALways.
Yippie Ki Yay Mother Fucker.
A absolute please to watch on the big screen at long last. Still one of the greatest films of all time & therefore best christmas film of all time. Dont argue with me im right on this one. HOHOHO!!!
