Quarantine Cafe: Die Hard Edition
A couple of years ago, I saw an outstanding mini-documentary on YouTube. It relayed some trivia/behind the scenes stuff I already knew, but a lot of new stuf I'd never heard before.
I've searched for the doc but can't find it now. It had interviews with screenwriters Jeb Stuart and Steven E. de Souza as well as with director John McTiernan, so it was well-sourced. Below, a list of ten cool things about Die Hard, many of which come from this documentary I cannot link for you. 1. Die Hard is a sequel, in a way, to the Frank Sinatra movie The Detective. The Detective was based on the novel by Roderick Thorp (a name you might recognize). In that movie, Frank Sinatra played Joe Leland, a NYC detective. Roderick Thorp went on to write a sequel called Nothing Lasts Forever, again featuring Joe Leland. That sequel involved terrorists taking over an office building, with Leland caught in the crossfire. 2. The lead role in Die Hard was initially offered to Frank Sinatra. Sinatra was 70 years old in 1985, when Die Hard was being put together as a concept. The producers didn't really want Sinatra to star in the action movie -- but it was legally required that they do so, because Sinatra had some kind of legal option on the sequel. They offered him the role, hoping he'd pass. He did. He decided he was too old to play the role again. And thus, "John Leland" became "John McClane," so as not to confuse people into thinking this was in fact a direct sequel to 1968's The Detective. 3. The John McClane role was offered to just about every warm body in Hollywood. After Sinatra passed, the producers offered the lead role to all the people you'd guess they'd offer an action movie lead in the mid-80s to: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Clint Eastwood, Mel Gibson, James Caan, Richard Gere, Don Johnson, and others. Pretty much the role was offered to anyone not named "Bruce Willis." They were all either uninterested or unavailable. I think they tried to sell Schwarzenegger on the idea that the story would make a good sequel for his "John Matrix" character in Commando. Getting desperate, they offered it to television actor Bruce Willis, who played a detective on Moonlighting, but as a glib comedic figure, not as a badass. The studio was very skeptical that Bruce Willis, hot off the non-success of the romantic comedy Blind Date, could carry a movie at all, let alone an action movie. The studio eventually put out a marketing blitz to sell people on the idea that Bruce Willis could even be an action star. They did a Hard Sell on Die Hard's star. I'm only 29 (well, almost 29), so I don't remember this era, but older uncles all tell me that one of the biggest pre-release complaints about Die Hard was that there was no way this skinny-necked TV clown could convince anyone that he was an action-hero toughguy. My uncles tell me that even when they went to the theater, they were still expecting a disaster (despite the excellent tv commercials). Bruce Willis was paid $5 million to star at the movie -- which was a salary almost unheard-of back then, especially because Willis was not any kind of proven box office draw. I don't know if I heard this, heard someone speculating this, or just made it up myself: But I have it in my head somewhere that the studio offered Willis $5 million partly just to generate buzz and convince people he really was an action star. I mean, if a studio is paying him five million dollars to play an action hero, then he must be really good at playing an action hero, right? Again, I don't know where I'm getting that. It sounds pretty stupid, now that I think about it. By the way, Bruce Willis also turned down the role when it was first offered to him, because he was committed to shooting Moonlighting and was unavailable during Die Hard's planned shooting schedule. But Cybil Shephard got pregnant, and the show went on haitus for some months to give her some time to deliver, and that gave Willis the time to shoot Die Hard. 4. They offered the director's chair to John McTiernan, hot off his success on Predator. He also repeatedly turned it down. McTiernan's biggest complaint was that the script was about terrorists. In previous interviews, he's said that he considered terrorists too depressing for a big fun summer blockbuster. They kept trying to convince McTiernan. He ultimately tell them: Fine, but I want the script rewritten so that they're not terrorists. And so the screenwriter came up with the great twist that Hans Gruber is pretending to be terrorists, but in fact is just a "common thief." I'm sorry -- I mean he's an extraordinary thief. My bad. The terrorists in the novel Nothing Lasts Forever were German, too. John McTiernan made another important demand: He wanted the script to be lighter, particularly in scenes involving the terrorists (well, thieves pretending to be terrorists). I think his idea was that if the terrorists/thieves were just completely unpleasant, any time they're on the screen talking would be equally unpleasant for the audience. The audience wouldn't mind spending time with the terrorists if they were somewhat likable. This was a very important choice. McTiernan kicked off the whole "Bad Guy Is So Likeable You Secretly Want Him to Become Friends With the Good Guy" trope that would dominate 80s and 90s movies. 5. "Nakatomi Plaza Tower" was played by the Twentieth Century Fox Plaza Tower in Century City. The Fox Building had just opened weeks before filming, and was also still under construction during filming -- just like Nakatomi Plaza. Scenes of under-construction floors of the building were in fact real. In the videos below the fold, there's a good behind-the-scenes video about the use of miniatures in the film. 6. The scene in which McCain meets Hans Gruber was added during filming, because Alan Rickman's American accent was funny. In the script, McCain did not face down Gruber until the end of the movie. The scene of Gruber pretending to be an American hostage -- "Bill Clay" -- was written during the shoot. Rickman was doing an American accent to make people laugh, and they thought it was so funny they should include it in the movie. Thus, in just a few days, one of the greatest scenes in the movie was hastily thrown together. 7. The villains' escape plan of driving away from the Nakatomi massacre in an ambulance was also a very late addition, added only as shooting was wrapping up. Gruber's plan to escape is to blow up the top of the Nakatomi Tower and all of the hostages there to make it appear as though he and his men killed themselves in a terrorist statement. But there was no actual explanation about how they actually intended to physically escape the Nakatomi Plaza area. John McTiernan was bothered by this plot hole and asked the screenwriter (I think it was Steven E. de Souza who was on-set, doing rewrites; Jeb Stuart had been let go earlier) to come up with an explanation as to how the criminals intended to escape. De Souza came up with the idea of the ambulance hidden inside the tractor-trailer that was seen earlier in the movie. One problem: Earlier shots of that trailer did not show any ambulance inside -- because, of course, the whole concept of the hidden ambulance didn't exist when they shot those early scenes. They decided to not worry about it, figuring that no one would notice that the ambulance only appears later. They were right. No one did notice, except I guess years later, and only because Die Hard was so frequently rewatched, and rewatched on high-quality digital. A lot of decisions were made late in the production, and almost all of them paid off well. 8. The look of surprise on Hans Gruber's face as he plummets from the top of Nakatomi Tower is real. Alan Rickman volunteered to take this fall himself. They suspended him by a harness about forty feet above air-mats. (I'm guessing the air-mats were in chroma-key blue or green so they could replace them later with an image of the street below). They set the camera above Rickman, looking down at him. The plan, supposedly, was that McTiernan would count down from 3 -- 3, 2, 1, fire -- and the harness would be released and then Rickman would stop falling. But the story goes that McTiernan wanted Rickman's face to show genuine terror and surprise, so he skipped the countdown and just ordered the harness released immediately. Alan Rickman seems to dispute this, saying he doesn't remember any business involving the countdown to release. 9. Die Hard started a chain of imitators, all with pitch-lines that read, "It's like Die Hard in a [X]." Die Hard was the first in a series of what have come to be called "Siege movies," where a group of well-armed mercenaries, terrorists, or other criminals take over location and one or a couple of outgunned heroes have to do battle with them. "Die Hard in an [X] movies" made soon after Die Hard included: Speed 2: Cruise Control: Die Hard on a cruise liner! Under Siege: Die Hard on a battleship! Sudden Death: Die Hard in a hockey game! Masterminds: Die Hard in a boys' boarding school! Air Force One: Die Hard in an Air Force One! Under Siege 2: Dark Territory: Die Hard on a train! Cliffhanger: Die Hard on some cliffs! White House Down: Die Hard in a White House! Philadelphia: Die Hard in a t-cell! Just kidding about that, of course. Die Hard's sequels of course did this as well. Die Hard 2: Die Harder was Die Hard in an airport, and Die Hard with a Vengeance was Die Hard in All of New York City. There was an amusing thing I remember happening. If you remember this: Anna Niccole Smith was at one point a celebrity people knew. Her tits were so big they thought, we should put those tits in some movies. She appeared in a Die Hard rip-off called Skyscraper. If memory serves me -- and maybe it's actually telling me lies here -- Skyscraper was advertised as Die Hard in a skyscraper! If you can imagine such a thing! What a great idea. I wonder what took them so long to think of that. 10. In 2018, thirty years after Die Hard's release, Twentieth Century Fox released a recut commercial for the film, confirming that it is in fact a Christmas movie. The "Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?" debate was kind of funny back in 2005 or whenever it got started. It really began to annoy me when Jonah Goldberg, Sonny Bunch, David French and the rest of the Is Hotdog Sandwich? gang endlessly repeated it as a rote part of their Twitter cyberflirtation rituals. Still, it was funny for a while. And the recut commercial was amusing. See the video of it below. Plus a few other interesting videos about Die Hard.Comments

Back from looking at the planets. Junior-etts school telescope, a Celestron catadyoptic lens with a cardboard body, was good enough to make out two moon from Jupitor and (almost) make out the rings of Saturn.
Before we left we checked out the moon with it. OMG! That telescope must've been made specifically for that range. We could see shadows in the craters! Very cool family moment for us.

I think the only other time I've seen that done was when Keanu Reeves was in the first "Speed."
I wonder if they'd ever do something like that these days, now that "unlikely guy turns out to be a badass" has become almost a cliche in itself.

Had the Vortex Razor 27x60x85 angled viewfinder spotting scope set up atop it's Bogen 3040 tripod, pointed skyward to the South West.
INCREDIBLE view of Saturn & Jupiter, with Razor* sharp views of the Rings of Saturn and several of Jupiter's Moons.
Pity, I don't yet have an adapter for a Nikon DSLR or a cel-phone camera, so as to have captured the sight. And yes, I did have to manually "track" the paired planets to keep 'em in the scope. A tweak ever minute or so.
Iris got to see 'em, as did my next door neighbors.
Any doubts as to the quality of this spotting scope, disappeared in an instant.
The Rings of Saturn were easily discernable, distinct and brilliant in contrast, color and fineness of resolution.
Jupiter's Moons were rendered as perfect dots of light, no haloing, no double images, no fuzzy edges.
Optical. Perfection.
And it's not even an "astronomical" telescope.
Wow.

Yeah, it's a tank, and back in the day, they also made a three-pointed star shaped, wheeled "dolly" to make it a studio-mobile platform.
But, in a windy day out on the firing line, the scope it supports remains rock steady and on target, long after lesser gear gets stowed away as Combat Ineffective.
I do need to get a lighter duty, more portable tripod, though. Like guns, other "gear" is also seldom a "one size fits all" world.

That tells you something and it's that hard work don't mean shit on whether you succeed or not. However if you DON'T work hard you won't succeed either.
This is why I gave up and decided long ago to just do what I wanted to do and not because it would make me a success. Mainly cause I didn't know what I wanted to succeed at. So I just succeeded in pleasing myself.
And altho at times I had my doubts it turned out better than it would've if I'd tried to succeed.
Given where everything's wound up now. All may classmates are losing their shit and for me it's just normal.

I'm thinking they might be able to penetrate the fog of VPN, and actually nail down just exactly is who and just exactly is where.
And then there are certain "Regs" in most every part of the Nation, who would greatly enjoy being very effective with such information, once provided.
Oh, and lest anyone fear that I'm making some kind of horrid threat? Hardly.
The Troll HAS to survive the experience. And be utterly terrified of ever suffering as such, ever again.
And they need to broadcast that fear into all of Trollville, as far as the cries of anguish, pain and fear can be heard.

Stars Patrick Swayze as a Chicago cop whose brother is murdered, played by Bill Paxton, by an Italian mobster (Adam Baldwin). Ben Stiller plays another Italian mob dude, Helen Hunt is Swayze's wife, and the guy who was The One Armed Man in the original Fugitive is the Mob Boss. All but that last guy are very young and not very good actors at that point.
Liam Neeson is also in it as Swayze's totally hillbilly brother straight from Harlan County, Kentucky. It's not a very good movie at all, but it's fun to see everyone when they were young and green.

Alexander Gutenov
Godunov. His was a sad story. From IMDB
He was born on Sakhalin Island at the far eastern end of the former Soviet Union and began studying dance at age 9 in the Riga State Ballet School. He later said his mother put him there to prevent his becoming "a hooligan". One of his classmates and friends at the school was Mikhail Baryshnikov. After graduating he toured with the Moscow Classical Ballet. He joined the Bolshoi in 1971; there he received rave reviews for the lead in "Swan Lake", "Giselle" and other classical and contemporary works. In 1973 he won a gold medal at the Moscow International Competition. The same year he received more praise when the Bolshoi toured the United States. He was then marked as a potential defector and not allowed to tour for five years. In August 1979 he did defect. The story grew in importance when his ballerina wife returned to the USSR a few days later. He joined the American Ballet Theater and danced with it until 1982 when he and its director Baryshnikov had a falling out. He was by then a frequent companion of Jacqueline Bisset. His first movie role was as the Amish farmer Daniel in "Witness" (1985). The NY Times reviewer described him as the film's "most riveting presence". The same critic did not take so kindly to his role as Karl in "Die Hard" (198
("a sight gag in his terrorist costume"). When he became a US citizen in 1987 he said he planned to celebrate by eating a "hamburger stuffed with caviar". He had been filming a movie in Budapest a few weeks before he was found dead in his West Hollywood home, of "natural causes" according to his physician.
He was reputed to be quite an alcoholic.

1. It was originally supposed to be a direct sequel to "Earth Vs. The Flying Saucers (1956)" but they couldn't get the rights. Supposedly eight weeks of shooting had to be scrapped.
2. It was originally shot with the actors speaking Swedish (phonetically). One day, someone asked the director why they were doing this and he said "I don't know" so they re-shot everything in English.
3. John McClane, Hans Gruber and the guy in the cop car were originally played by the animated characters of Yogi Bear, Boo-Boo, and Ranger Smith respectively. This went almost to the premier, when someone said, "Hang on, this doesn't make sense. The characters were then replaced by, respectively, Fred Flintstone, Mr. Slate and Barney Rubble. This version was widely disliked at the premier ("Mr. Slate wouldn't do that" was a common complaint) so it all had to be re-done, but fortunately this was in 1972 so they had plenty of time for reshoots.

5. At an early premier, someone had changed "20th Century Fox" to "20th Century Boners" at the opening, and the audience laughed through the entire film. At the end, they said "Wait, we missed the movie, can you play it again?" So the producers did, and the same thing happened. The producers wised up at this point.

Anna Nicole... she was still fairly young (and popular-ish) when her plastic surgeries started causing problems.
What problems, you ask?
Well I'll tell you. The problem of her nipples not being able to remain attached to the breasts. So thye were causing pain, and infections, and resulted in repeated surgeries to repair. Which worked about as well as one might think.
In her fancy lingerie, inside those massive brassieres... were rotting pustules of gunk.
Which contributed greatly to her drug use and abuse, thus basically causing her death.
Merry Christmas.

Yeah, and the VPN idea is worth considering as at least a kill switch. Blocking an entire class B that belongs to a single VPN service where the client IPs are coming from, for example.

Commercial VPN endpoints are known. Once you've detected traffic from one, that hasn't been blocked, you can ask ARIN who owns it and add a deny rule for their range. It would be trivial to add a deny rule for all of them.

It however, did not have a happy ending. There was a major local LA story. About a baby, found dead, in a laundry hamper. In a storage room, at a local hospital.
It was surmised to be a a VERY late term abortion.

VPN only anonymizes to the extent that it doesn't give away where you're coming from. The last endpoint has to be somewhere with an IPv4 address (because the HQ doesn't have an IPv6 address), and that address had to be assigned by ARIN.

"College football" should just come clean and be a professional sport all its own. Players can then get paid and do away with the pretend "student athlete" tag and not have to go to class they don't want to.
Down side is without the tie to "my college," they won't be able to have as many teams but them's the breaks.
At least they can have as many playoff teams as they want then, which is what they are arguing for. Again.
So again, make it an actual job and be done with the whole pretending it isn't a business.

I am really, really pissed that the Big 10 has been such a mess on their rules all year. Wish they would just say "Ohio State is in our title games regardless of games played" and be done with it.
Then again I came to hate Big 10 leadership and their Covid shit, so I would criticize the way they died in a fire if it happened.

Went out this evening around 6:00PM EST here in the Bluegrass. Since I'm about as far west as you can get in the Eastern Time Zone 6PM is almost dark.
I took several photos from a modified, steadied position to image Jupiter and Saturn. In the best image you can see both planets, 4 of Jupiter's moons and what I believe is one or two of Saturn's... likely one is Titan. Saturn is an oblong looking thing. Rings are barely there.
However.... in the Orion 8 inch reflector it was an awesome sight. Too bad I don't have the gear to take photos through that.

Kinda cool. I was a little disappointed, I have a tripod and haven't figured that out fully either, to keep the shaking down. Still, I wasn't able to tell the difference between Saturn and Jupiter... I mean, I assume Jupiter is the bigger of the two (given size and distance). No view of the rings.
