Die Hard is a sequel to Love Actually where Emma Thompson hired Bruce Willis to hunt down Alan Rickman but make it look like Rickman is part of a terrorist plot… is a thing I learned via TikTok.


Somebody is upset that I won’t let him bark at people who have the audacity to go out their own front doors and get in and out of their vehicles.
