Don't Die Hard...Get Old Hard

Do you know what today is? I know my sister does...it is Live Free or Die Hard release day. John McClane is back, baby! Even though it has been 19 years since he was stuck in the Nakatomi building in LA, but you just can't keep a good action hero down, can you? Honestly, those 1980's action hero's have some serious stamina. Stallone just returned as Rocky after 30 years and he is coming back as John Rambo after 25 years; and let's not forget Harrison Ford, who is picking up the whip again to play Indiana Jones for the first time in two decades.

And who is the action hero nowadays? Who picked up the torch that Schwarzenegger set down when he took up his new political career? Don't try to tell me that Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson, or Vin "XXX" Diesel are the new action heroes, because they really haven't had the success, nor the feel, that our good ole' 1980's action heroes did. My only complaint seeing Bruce back up there this week is that the stuck him with that dork from the Apple commercials instead of Samuel L. Jackson, and that they rated it PG-13.

"Yippee Ki-Yay....er...sucka."
