I never saw Die Hard until I watched it while flying somewhere over Russia on my way to Japan last spring.
My travel tradition is to watch Avatar each time I fly, I am very sentimental and I am such a sucker for romance and fantasy that it's comical. But, since I had 14 hours from Toronto to Tokyo, I gave Die Hard a try and I'm so glad I did.
Sometimes, being an artist feels a lot like being Bruce Willis in Die Hard - you're climbing elevator shafts, you're rapelling off of buildings, you're crying in a bathroom, you're trying to not get tricked by Alan Rickman, and your wife isn't sure how she even feels about you! All of the odds are against you but you keep going anyways.
In a weird way Die Hard is a fun movie to watch as a woman because all of the men are so gorgeous and fashionable, even if they are evil gangsters. I just swoon over this guy's sweater, even if it becomes 'the' sweater from the movie, it has an amazing color, knit, and the collar is extra wide. My question is, why did this guy have to do heists? He could have just been a model or something or been on The Real World LA. 🏖️
The question marks are something I threw into this piece as a wink to everyone who has been with me for my gun drawing journey, because wow, I am not very good at drawing guns. Faces, yes, dogs, yes, hacker birds, yes, horses, okay - guns still completely and totally confound me.
Seriously can we bring back whatever this movie was, can we bring back heist teams of villains in excellent fashion and Los Angeles Christmas Party splendor.
