Why I Love Die Hard, A Thread:

Em aka Red 🦋 @huttsleia.bsky.social · 1d

That’s valid! I was just being nosy, my apologies.

DH has a special place in my heart because the story of the screenwriter is extraordinary:

On this Die Hard Day, I want to share one of the stories of Die Hard’s screenwriter, Jeb Stuart.

Stuart tried to make it as a writer for so long, with such meagre results, that his family held an intervention to tell him that maybe writing just wasn’t for him.

He told his wife that he would take an aptitude test at a college, and if it gave a non-writing-related result, promised to finally give up. The test told him to be a florist. Stuart immediately made up a family emergency and bailed on the rest of the assessment process. When he got home, Stuart told his wife that his result was “screenwriter”.

He got degrees in screenwriting at two different Universities, putting his family into 200k of student loan debt - in 80’s dollars. His wife gave birth to their first child two months early, and NICU bills piled up.

Stuart got an agent, speaking to several and choosing the one who was the most critical of his work. He was grinding out scripts for Disney and barely keeping the lights on, then Stuart told his agent “Give me any work you have, I’m desperate.”

His agent told him, “Write an action movie. They make a bunch of money overseas because explosions don’t need subtitles.” Combined with the rights to a very depressing novel about a disillusioned cop, Die Hard was born.

Years later, Stuart’s wife was dying. Not wanting secrets between them, he admitted to lying about the aptitude test. “I know,” she told him. The college administrator had called the next day, enquiring about the invented family emergency and sending best wishes. She’d known all along, and decided to quietly believe in him, until he made it.

“Why are they upset about the frog?”

Because the frog has power. As silly as it sounds. The frog is not just a good idea. It’s our greatest weapon.

And I’m going to explain why…

I like my Halloween layout, but I’m already thinking about ditching it

If I had the energy, I’d be giving it another go. Maybe before Christmas 🎅

No need to apologise whatsoever ! I over explain things, not upset by the questions, I just yap too much.

Also, the lore you shared here is fascinating, this is the kind of thing I love learning 👀

I don’t even know, it’s just not something I desire to watch again? I’m being petty I guess?

(the list of movies I wouldn’t watch again is pretty long actually, I rewatch like 10 comfy movies endlessly and that’s about it, lol)

I think I cried the first time I saw it too, I know I’ve cried both times I watched Wicked too. The emotional gut punch of seeing characters experiencing things I relate to in those stories just really hits

* Cilantro
* Dancer in the Dark (the TRAUMA, holy fuck)
* The Celine Dion cover of "Feliz Navidad", which gives me retail PTSD flashbacks or Jason DeRulo's wiggle song
