Die Hard Pitch Meeting

so you have a Christmas movie for me yes sir I do it's gonna be super violent what yeah so this New York cop John McClane is on his way to Los Angeles to see his wife Holly on Christmas Eve okay yeah he's having a tough time on the plane so the guy sitting next to him is like the secret to air travel is to take your shoes off later and make fists with your toes that's a pretty weird thing to include in a movie yeah well I want John to take his shoes off later because there's gonna be a whole thing with broken glass can't we just have him take off his shoes while he's changing I mean I can't really have someone take their shoes off without some juicy backstory to it very not so anyway John gets a limo ride from this driver Argyle and he says he's gonna wait for John in the parking garage while he goes up to see his wife at her office Christmas party what kind of a company has their Christmas party on Christmas Eve the kind I made up for this movie got you so anyway then the whole Christmas party's gonna be taken over by the sky Hans Gruber and his crew of bad guys with beautiful hair oh so John sneaks down to the garage to our guy oh no the bad guys disabled the elevators below the 30th floor oh so does he try to get down using the stairs Oh doesn't even try why not well I mean even if he did get down to Argyle the beautiful haired bad guys close the security gates scent Argyle drive through the gates to go get some help well yeah he can drive through them but we're only gonna have him do that at the end of the movie why because that's what I wrote there enough anyway so this one bad guys gonna try to track John down but John's gonna get the drop on him oh what's he planning on doing getting the guy to drop his machine gun and then what I mean he's not in a position to arrest anybody if the guy does surrender well he's gonna hit the guy on the head and wrestle with them and end up breaking his neck feels like you should have just shot him in the first place when he had the chance yeah well there's gonna be kind of a recurring thing in the movie where characters don't shoot each other at key moments when they had the chance how come because then the movie would be over and we got to stretch this bad boy out fair enough stretching out bad boys is tight oh that's the worst sentence I've ever heard yeah that didn't sound right at all and I apologized anyway so then John puts the dead guy in the elevator so the other bad guys see him what yeah he's gonna right now I have a machine gun on his chest it's gonna be hilarious he's gonna give up the element of surprise so we can taunt them a little bit well not only that he's also gonna eavesdrop on them and learn what their names are you didn't have to send them a dead body to eavesdrop on them yeah probably would have made his life easier if he hadn't done that whoops whoopsie so then later this cop is gonna pass through what John has to get his attention oh and is that gonna be hard for him to do from all the way up in the building no it's gonna be super easy barely an inconvenience oh really yeah he's just gonna throw the dead body of another guy he killed onto the cops car wait now that I think of it he could have just fired his gun to get the cops attention probably but this guy's like really into communicating using dead body sir sounds that way and then some more law enforcement is gonna show up and this police chief is gonna take over oh what's his deal well I had to make him unbelievably stupid so the movie could keep on going oh you did yeah like he thinks the dead guy full of bullet holes that was thrown out the building killed himself it is unbelievable that a human being could be that stupid well if the law-enforcement people were competent at all the movie would end so I kind of had to make them all into walking plot devices oh so they're all just there to make dumb decisions and Pat the run time exactly like some of them are gonna try to break through glass doors with a blowtorch they're gonna be really dumb Wow but the first cop that showed up is actually a good guy oh he is yeah like when John McClane isn't talking to himself which he does kind of a lot he's gonna be talking to this guy and what's his deal well he's gonna have this backstory where he lost his cop mojo after accidentally killing a kid who was playing with a toy gun it's gonna be really sad wait is the sad part that he killed a kid or that he lost his cop mojo we're certainly gonna play it like the tragedy is that he lost his cop mojo interesting yeah so in the end he's gonna have this story arc where he regains the confidence to you know shoot people again Wow well good for him we're also gonna have this whole subplot with this reporter snooping around oh yeah because this way Hans is gonna end up seeing on the news that Holly and John are married I mean we could literally have that show up on the news we don't need an entire reporter subplot yes we do oh okay then and so later John is gonna be getting chased by bad guys and it's gonna cut his feet on some broken glass right he's not wearing any shoes and I know the entire history of that yeah he's gonna leave a huge trail of blood but he's gonna end up escaping and losing the bad guys how does he manage to lose the bad guys if he's leaving a giant trail of blood I don't know fair enough and so yeah eventually John is gonna end up killing Hans Gruber and saving the day very cool and what's this thing called anyway oh I was thinking we could call it die hard what does that mean well first of all it sounds awesome and it vaguely describes the care Jerson plot I guess I guess kind of and it's kind of a tribute to my late uncle how was he killed in the line of duty or something no he died while testing erectile dysfunction drugs oh my god so what do you think well I mean it sounds great but I don't know if I necessarily call it a Christmas movie you know of course it's a Christmas movie it takes place at Christmas time but it doesn't have to do with Christmas other than that but it takes place at Christmas time but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a Christmas movie sure it does tell you what let's let people debate this amongst themselves for a while before taking an official stance on it how long should we let them debate like maybe three decades or something sounds
