What Die Hard 4.0 Taught Me

I watched Die Hard 4.0 last night, and tweeted my way through it. Here’s a quick summary of what it taught me:

1. Bad guys always use Alienware laptops.
2. Olyphants aren’t just found in Lord of the Rings.
3. Computer monitors always fritz before a virus activates C4 explosive in a case.
4. Apparently you can close any chat window on your computer, regardless of OS, by hitting ‘Del’.
5. All geeks are hypoglycaemic. Or pretend to be when in trouble.
6. The more Bruce Willis bleeds, the stronger he gets.
7. Only Bruce Willis is allowed to shoot bad guys. Everyone else has to miss, as if they’re an Imperial Stormtrooper.
8. Never chase Bruce Willis with a helicopter when he’s armed with a police squad car.
9. Hackers write really informative user interfaces that describe computer progress precisely. (Obviously they’re not Linux hackers.)
10. A download of 500TB of data is best accomplished watching each line of data scroll through.
11. The dirtier Justin Long gets, the cuter he is.
12. Don’t get into a fight with Bruce Willis if he’s packing an elevator shaft and an SUV.
13. Henchmen always speak in foreign languages, even when asked questions in English.
14. Fat hackers in basements always have annoying mothers.
15. Timothy Olyphant is about 1000x hotter as an 1800′s sheriff than he is as a 21st century bad guy.
16. Bruce Willis in a fully laden semi beats a fighter plane. Accidentally.
