Gareth Higgins is Wrong About 'Live Free or Die Hard'

Jett LoeFilmTalk’s very own Gareth Higgins has written about ‘Live Free or Die Hard’ on the always interesting ‘God’s Politics’ blog. I of course disagree with him completely:
Gareth Higgins: Live Free, or Watch ‘Die Hard’

Ok. But admit this: the first Die Hard is an amazing piece of entertainment. The 4.0 version is just so-so, and less ironic and self-conscious of the stupidty of it’s own plot (a redeeming quality of the Mctiernan films). Greetings from dangerous but very cool Mexico city, where you can die quite easily, I must say.
It’s been too long since we’ve heard from you guys… I dying to hear about “Once” – still mourning the fact that it’s replaced Magnolia as Gareth’s favourite – I’m gonna need some reasons!
Yes, I know it’s been a while, (in fact I’ve got at least 4 episodes of Film Talk ‘in the can’…just been too too busy to edit and upload – must do better).
And having bumped into Dr Higgins a couple of weekends ago at a birthday party … what’s stopping you releasing some of those “classic” episodes?
Time. Just time.
