Just out of curiosity , CC --- what qualifies a motion picture for being listed in the right-of-thestart page as a' New Release " --- that is , of " our " kind , a " genre " kind ?
I suppose , largely anyway , it has to be a film that is , more or less anyway , having the now-semi-universal mass opening everywhere on the same day - Um , that aside , the origin of this I guess is:
How does the umpthh " Die Hard " movie qualify as " gnre " , that is , " OUR " genre ?
It may be a real good movie , I don't know .
I have never seen any DH films , I don't know if this is the place to start .
Is someone in Editorial here especially fond of the series ???
That's okay in itself , it just does not quite seem to be a - um , " comic-book " - or " super-hero " , or fantasy-horror-SF film , whatever its merits !
In a weird way , since I believe , IIRC , that this is the SIXTH DH movie - when it gets THAT long-running does a series become " genre " ?
I am aware that this flm revolves around a now-grown son of Bruce Willis' character , who for all I know may have never even been alluded to before - Does the idea of a " legacy " such as this make it more like " our " form of entertainment , with " legacy/revamped " superheroes ???
I am vaguely aware that somebody put out a DH comic book in the recent past - Was that even a qualifier , that the concept has literally been " one of us " now ?????
I mean , there are umpteen heroic cop-agent-whatever action movies which , though they obviously share a conceptual kinship with super-heros , don't get listed here .
What qualifies this one to be ?
Now , I am not fussing/complaining that this " DH " flick should not be listed here , not at all .
I'd just like to discuss the " criteria " - and stuff .
