I've never seen Die Hard but whenever I see references to it it's always this vent scene thing. What's that about?

Next year you need a toy police car on the floor with a doll smashed into the roof, and a window up in the tree with John staring back down.

Bonus points if the angel is the roof exploding with him swinging from a fire hose.

The more I think about it, the more you could theme the whole tree around that movie... To the point that I'd do the Nakatomi plaza building in place of a tree altogether in the end if I went for it.

Now someone will make this into the new fake xmas tree business idea of the century and I just gave it away...

I have one as well, but with different images of that scene on each end, so it can turn around while hanging.

I had to go buy all new lights this year. The colored led christmas lights are weirdly different and don’t feel right. Anyone else?

Yes! I said this to my friends and family a few years back and got looked at like I'm nuts.

To me, they have an extra intensity to them. A sort of radiance that make them feel like almost a little too much to look at sometimes. String lights of old had like a more gentle vibe or something

For real, The premise is that McClain lives in New York. He's separated from his wife who now lives 2500 miles away in Los Angeles. The movie opens with him flying to visit for Christmas where he will arrive just in time for his wife's office Christmas party. Terrorists take the entire office hostage, and occupy the skyscraper, but McClain is the wildcard NY cop who wages a guerilla war against the terrorists in the building.

The scene in question, he's barefoot, hiding from terrorists in an air vent he barely fits in, and lost. He opens his lighter to see where he is and mockingly says says, "Come Out To The Coast! We’ll Get Together, Have A Few Laughs," presumably a line his wife used to get him in this predicament. The scene changes as he closes the lighter and the sound gives away his position(yet his voice does not, somehow. It's an action flick Christmas movie, don't read too much into it.)

I am a tinsmith and made my self and for few of my friends a John McClane in an airduct out of real sheet metal. With the lockings of them and all that. Just small enough to put it on the christmas tree.

I want a little Hans Gruber that starts on the top of the Christmas tree on Dec 1st. Everyday he falls a little bit further until he lands on the presents Christmas Day.

Set around Christmas time, has Christmas songs in the soundtrack, the plot depends on it being Christmas time. It's a holiday redemption story in the style of an action movie. Bruce Willis can think what he pleases but that doesn't change what it very obviously is. Other than Bruce Willis' opinion, what makes you think it's not a Christmas movie?

They’re LEDs… the old filament bulbs are much more pleasant. My favorites are the big glass C9 ones (for your house) that have an opaque coating. The new ones are all transparent, dyed plastic (and LED) and the color intensity and brightness is just too much.

Sorry its a crappy photo that one of my friends took. My own John McClane is in the attic because I don't decorate my tree until the 23. of december.

I can if you dont belive me send a photo on that day with my handwritten note with said date and proof it too you.

Edit: Spelling.
