    "the latest in a long line of imitative films, Die Hard, but on a Subway!"

    More likely they pitched it as a remake of the 1974 film.

    Because everyone remembers that one.

    And Neil, how you managed to have Denzel aiming his firearm at Denzel in that photo is amazing.

    And Fure, I have our next movie pitch - "It's like Die Hard, but in an international office building!"

    Sounds like a winner! Though I've always wanted to see "Die Hard" but at like, an airport or something like that.

    I'm still waiting for Die Hard in a mini-van. I mean, every sequel seems to get bigger in scope, why not do the opposite? Get smaller! Think about it... you could have shootouts between the front and rear seats (where nobody gets hit), our hero could hide in either the glove compartment, or where the spare tire is kept, and the ending has a mammoth battle taking place atop the luggage rack on the roof! And for added fun, every twenty minutes or so, the terrorists stop at a gas station to pick up more reinforcements until they're packed in like a clown car.

    Damn, this thing practically writes itself!

    Coming soon: "Under Speed: Cruise Control With A Vengeance."

    Chris, that was a hell of a pitch. Only problem is Willis isn't available. I hope you're ready for Die Hard 5 starring Justin Long.

    "Because everyone remembers that one."

    I Don't see where I wrote "everyone," but surely the producers do, as does Tarantino and the Beastie Boys.

    Thanks my friend. I kinda figured Willis wouldn't be readily available. But he could take a backseat (HA!) in this and be relegated to being just a voice on one of the local radio talk shows. Like maybe he calls in every so often to help out Justin Long's character. Y'know, like giving out directions on how to deflate the tires, empty the windshield washer fluid suppy, and get a Linkin Park CD stuck in the player on "repeat". But he does it in code so the terrorists don't know exactly what he's saying.

    It's all a work in progress. I mean, we'll wait for Willis. But if the studio greenlights it for the fast track? Well... I'd bet money that Steven Segal is free.

    Get a Linkin Park CD stuck on repeat? In California all you have to do is put on KROQ or 93.1 and that's all you'll hear anyways.

    I am a Canadian and I fear that the young people will not turn out to vote for the democrats. Please please understand that the world is watching and hoping that you make the correct decision.

    Right now, the world is seeing the USA
