@DMinWA The Die Hard films are not "tales about one man's dangerous journey back to his wife"! In the first, they're both in the same building. In the second, she's flying home to him. In the other three, they're separated and then divorced. I will grant that they are "action-packed"!
At this point I can no longer be outraged at Emily Wilson's bizarre misinterpretations of Nolan's The Odyssey. But for her to simultaneously mangle Die Hard???
