The Saddest Movie News You’ll Hear All Summer

Is anything sadder than an action movie star whose career is on the wane? Well, okay, anything besides a country saddled with a President oblivious to anything even approaching reality?

I have bad news for everyone who hopes that the movie doldrums we’ve been experiencing since, well, since George W. Bush first took the oath of office in January of 2001. It appears that things aren’t going to get any better. We’re still going to be force-fed mindless superhero cartoons masquerading as films, sequels to movies that simply don’t require more story, and remakes of movies that nobody care about the first time around.

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. I could laugh because news that Bruce Willis is making yet ANOTHER Die Hard sequel is proof positive that nobody wants to cast him in anything of substance. I could cry because, well, there is going to be yet ANOTHER Die Hard movie.

I don’t know what the title will be, but I’ve certainly got a suggestion: Die Hard 4: Die Already!
