4.0

wednesday can't come quick enough.
for most of the united states of america it is a holiday: july 4th. independence day.
but for me it is the day die hard 4.0 opens.
already have the afternoon booked off. the plan is: into work early. get everything done in double quick time. leave, running, not looking back. catch the 25 bus. urge it forward with my mighty pat power. hop off at the genesis cinema. rush across the road. get my ticket. get a magnum lolly (will leave the choice of white or black chocolate till then). sit down and wait.

die hard is back. bruce is back. talking tough, shooting witty one-liners as quick as he shoots his gun. he probably won't be smoking, but that is what the new pc world has brought about, but he will have the john mclane smirk.
all is right with the world.
am i excited? right now i am as jittery as a virgin about to have his first shag. i am so excited i could shit a rainbow.

bring it on.
i want it now.

i have to admit to a little bit of embarrassment as it was only when my japanese pen friend mentioned that the 4.0 must be because of the cyber terrorist angle that it clicked for me. oh well i never said i was the smartest cookie in the jar.

so i will watch the previous die hards, i will mouth the key lines, i will laugh at the jokes, i will be amazed at the action, i will sit back and love them just as much as i did the first time round.
the clock is ticking and wednesday afternoon is what it is building towards. then i can see it again on thursday, friday, saturday... well you get the picture.

yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker.
