David Crooks 🏳️🌈I’m on holiday! For a week! I need a holiday movie.
And what says the holidays more than … DIE HARD 2.
The synchronised bad guys leaving their hotel rooms
After a short break we continue.
Fred Thompson as the airport manager!
Oh no - the powers down in the main Dulles terminal!?
Oh the Annex Skywalk you say? I perceive no problems.
This film does hit a little different after years of air travel.
Robert Patrick is in this - just a year before he became synonymous as the T-1000 #yippeekiyay #dieharder

FINLANDIA INTENSIFIES
Folks: this is a good movie.
Tomorrow, we present: THE FIFTH ELEMENT
