Oh yippie hi yay, mother hackers,
This week on FilmSack, we LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD trying …. to keep it PG-13…. as we celebrate the day of United States Independence with a FIRE SALE. Everything must go! Except, family problems, impossible odds, The finale of Bruce Willis’ journey to baldness part 4, mumbling screeds, cop stuff and what I can only assume is an ancient blessing of luck and protection bestowed upon the McClane family lineage. Now being downloaded directly from 2007s The Pirate Bay in Kevin Smith’s Mom’s Basement as a Bug Eye’d Oliphant watches…. You think I’m gonna buy a movie the government doesn’t want me to see? ha!
Anywho, this lady on the phone sounds sexy… and I feel a need to tell her… and since I am an awkward nerd type… I think I will. Boom goes the dynamite I just vibe coded my love life. Man, I sure hope my behavior doesn’t age poorly. I guess I’m just an Abacus Smart Watch with MSN Direct, struggling to sync in an AI-driven world.
Randy, I tried to find more Nixon but all I got was Bush.

BRIEF
When cyber-terrorists hack into America’s infrastructure, it’s up to veteran NYPD detective John McClane (Bruce Willis) and a young hacker (Justin Long) to stop them. From server farms to freeway ramp launches, McClane punches, shoots, and growls his way through firewalls and bad guys—proving that saving the country is best done in a dirty undershirt with some dad-level sarcasm.
Rated: PG-13 (or unrated for the real McClane experience) | 2007 | Action/Thriller | 2h 9m

Live Free or Die Hard (2007) – When America gets hacked, only one man can fix it: a sweaty, cranky dad with a badge. Punch a server farm, crash a car into a helicopter, yell “Yippee-ki-yay,” and call it a Tuesday. #FilmSack
