Martins, Tor, Ace, Bantam, Leisure, Plume, Houghton Mifflin, hell, this year Del Rey and Guild Press were even invited. I fondly gaze at the publishers’ imprints on my books, and pretend that there is some sort of event similar to the NFL Draft going on in the publishing industry, in which all the upcoming talent is shrewdly examined by the crafty scouts representing Penguin, Pocket, Zebra, City Lights, Signet, Harper Collins, St. When it’s standing on the bookshelf, you’d never be able to tell just what the hell it might be without a proper look at the cover, although the dilapidated condition immediately announces to me exactly what book it is.īut each time I see “Just Before Dark”, it inspires some strange imaginings. The binding somehow does its job, even though you’d never suspect it by looking at the spine. My copy of this unsung gem is battered to hell, having purchased it back in the early 90’s and having read it three or four times and treating it like crap. With a story like that, disappointment is nigh impossible. Far more than just action sequences, the movie that kicked off Bruce Willis' greatest franchise should also be honored for its amazing dialogue.File Under: Stories in which a sloppy hitman bungles the assassination of the judge presiding over his mob boss’s trial and is duly rewarded for his incompetence by being fed into a car compactor at the junkyard which fronts as the legitimate business for this ridiculous mob, at which point his spirit lingers in the junkyard with an insatiable thirst for vengeance and begins getting retribution on his former associates responsible for his horrific demise. Some of the dialogue has gone down as classic action movie one-liners while others are reminders of how many great Die Hard quotes remain overlooked. From the heroic everyman McClane to the dastardly yet dashing Gruber to the many colorful side characters, they all pop with great lines. The most memorable quotes in Die Hard exemplify the movie's thrilling aspects, its humor, and its iconic characters. The story sets up a thrilling action story, but viewers likely didn't expect such memorable dialogue in Die Hard. The classic follows Bruce Willis' John McClane, a New York cop who attempts to reconnect with his estranged wife at a Los Angeles corporate Christmas party only for it to be taken over by Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) and his band of thugs. Though one of the greatest action movies of all time, the best Die Hard quotes also highlight its superb screenplay.
