Film Review

I've gone on about the LA Weekly before, but there was a review of the new Die Hard film in it. Here's a quote from it:

"...he’s a Sisyphean figure wondering how the hell he got to here and wishing he was home with a beer in his hand. Nineteen years after doing Christmas Eve battle with money-grubbing German terrorists in a Los Angeles office tower, McClane is so far past his sell-by date that his existential exhaustion becomes more than a mere character trait; it’s his entire raison d’etre. Set over the July Fourth weekend, the proudly post-9/11 Live Free or Die Hard is festooned with references to anthrax alarms ..."

That one not quite a paragraph has about 5 words in it that have never appeared in Metro. And one that I had to look up.
