America’s economic implosion grinds torturously on. Sensationalistic murders capture our attention (Newtown, Dorner, Pistorious).Malign Iran is chasing nukes, crazy North Korea testing them. Lots of unambiguous crises, no doubt, to occupy hearts and minds.
Don’t lose hope, however! Scraps of buoying news are emerging from the quarters of moviedom: John McClane’s full-throated, mother-violating profanity is back! And Dakota Fanning has “gotten nekkid” on film!
In the Die Hard franchise’s just released fifth installment (A Good Day to Die Hard), Bruce Willis’ indelible title character, John McClane, dredges up from the first three films his signature “Yipee-ki-yay m***er-f****er”. Obscenity-enthusiasts can jubilate: Willis’ fictional New York City cop goes full-F-bomb-monty after, scandalously, managing only an amended version in number four’s Live Free or Die Hard.
Admittedly, while Good Day has opened to uniformly scorching reviews, some fans, apparently, take comfort in the unveiled resurrection of McClane’s matriarch-referencing/cowboy-movie-yodeling/tough-guy-cussing mash-up.
“A Good Day to Die Hard is not just a name, it’s a proclamation that this series is now ready for the graveyard,” snarks Screenrant.com‘s Kofi Outlaw. “By the time Willis utters his trademark catch phrase, the movie’s action has jumped the shark, strangled it, and surfed it back to shore.”
If you’ve been out of the film-chat-room loop, you’re likely unaware Detective McClane’s bowdlerized, insufficiently explicit utterance in 2009′s Live Free generated quite the foofaraw. That gripe, in tandem with the flick’s slightly toned-down violence (qualifying it for a PG-13 rating), threatened Hollywood blog sites with a cyber-riot from those ticket-buyers who’ll only take their John McClanes foul-mouthed and their Die Hard sequels hard “R”.
Well, GDDH presumably delivers both.
All is well with the world.
Still, if those Tinsel-Town tidings prove inadequately reassuring, there’s more breaking, silver-screen news: formerly angelic child-star Dakota Fanning, previously dazzling in film’s like Man on Fire (2004) and War of the Worlds (2005), in her upcoming Very Good Girls confirms she’s all growed-up: enacting her first cinematic nude scene. Sporting the increasingly musty, “losing-one’s-virginity” plot-line, Fanning’s latest offering reportedly features her in a graphic love scene with co-star Boyd Holbrook.
The Sun breathlessly informs, “Dakota competes with a friend … to bed Boyd in the steamy drama … And she obviously won the battle — stripping and showing off her bare bum as she romps with Boyd’s character.”
"Doug Giles and his team over at ClashDaily.com cut through the crap to expose what have become modern day human slaughter houses: gun free zones. Their candid arguments about allowing teachers to protect themselves and the students in their care through concealed carry should be taken seriously. As a result maybe, just maybe, we’ll be able to save some lives someday rather than call the cops to report the body count." - Katie Pavlich.

"There were many lessons to draw from the horrific Newtown, CT school shooting. Unfortunately, most of the media and political Left came up with the wrong ones. But not Doug Giles and his writers over at ClashDaily.com. In the wake of this horror, they offered a robust defense of American citizens' right to bear arms and common sense answers to societal violence. The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away is a great resource for those interested in this vital, Constitutional issue." - S.E.
