The line runs through my head anytime I see something similar.

It goes through my head whenever I see a quarterback get sacked in an NFL game.

I think he was also the guy who awkwardly went one verse too long at the bar singing scene.

So sad, he was my professor at UNLV. Such a kind and caring soul! RIP

What was his area of expertise? The UNLV thing is news to me.

He was a film professor, I took his class as an elective just for fun (also because I saw WTR and Die Hard is one of my favorite Xmas movies lol). This was back in 2012-2013ish.

University of Nevada, Las Vegas. It’s a decent school. As someone who doesn’t drink and doesn’t gamble, it’s one of the better places about Vegas.

Just watched it again last night and doubled down with Die Hard 2 this evening (wife wanted to crack out the Christmas movies early). Always loved this character. Great comic relief during the SWAT scenes. RIP.

As you get older you see friends and actors die that are a part of your childhood/teenage years. You start comparing their age to your age. It kind of gets depressing. I'm 50 and I start thinking, "Do I have only X more years?"
Carpe Diem.

He said my favorite line from Die Hard, the one that still rattles through my mind all these years later, nearly every morning.
“Oh my god, the quarterback IS toast!”
