Ho Ho Ho
Posted: 11/27/2007Sometimes, during the holiday rush, we forget the important things. Things like… Planes, Trains & Automobiles being the Best Thanksgiving Movie Ever. And Best Christmas Movie Ever? Die Hard. Drippy sentimentality comes second place to Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber. It’s loaded with 80s anachronisms: Japanese corporate dominance, smoking in airports, coke snorting suits, out of place nudity, Run DMC’s “Christmas In Hollis” and, obviously, Bruce Willis.
Plus, it’s loaded with terrorism when terrorism was fun.
I’m watching it now while I get some “real work” done. Hey, it’s a pre-Carl Winslow Reginald Vel Johnson! Fuckin A! No doubt‚ÄîBest Christmas Movie Ever.
Speaking of Die Hard, Kudos to Rogue Status for its “Ho Ho Ho” tee, but I’m not sure I’m down enough with the remix to pick it up. Their Dead Bird tee, also from Holiday 07 might look familiar.
Padlock over the back, it’s a nice touch. Their “The Man” tee isn’t bad either. Still got my copies of The ‘Nam stashed away at my parents’ house.
