Wrong its a shorterned form of bubbeleh, its yiddish. It literally means little grandmother but you use it as a term of endearment for anyone most commonly kids or your partner. He was used to using his israelite connections to get a good deal, but he was dealing with a german so he got the best deal.
>moronic
No, that's the joke. If his attempted brazen negotiation wasn't enough to tip you off, yes he was that clueless and arrogant to think he could get some extra nose candy from criminals.
Seemed like he was trying to get John killed/captured but also knew he would get Holly killed if they knew John had a connection like that to one of their hostages.
Yeah he wanted to go home because it was stressful and his feet hurt, and if he could frick John over without affecting Holly, he could keep making moves on her.
Do you think he lied about being John’s friend because he wanted to be the center of attention or because he was smart enough not to expose Holly’s connection to John?
Seemed like he was trying to get John killed/captured but also knew he would get Holly killed if they knew John had a connection like that to one of their hostages.
He was trying to be a hero/negotiator. He attempted to use a crisis to further his own shit. I can imagine him thinking he'd be on the cover of Fortune magazine as the guy who helped diffuse a hostage crisis
>Yes Mr Nakatomi, I took charge and did what anyone would do to make sure we all got out of that situation safe and sound...think I might deserve a bonus for that?

He wanted John captured or dead so he could get out of there as efficiently as possible.
He probably pretended to be John's friend as a pressure tactic on John, like, oh it'll be extra shameful for you to refuse to surrender because *your friend* is going to get killed, you wouldn't let *your friend* die, right John?
He also probably phrased the plan as threatening to kill him, and because he's stupid and coked up he didn't think it through and realize the terrorists would *actually* kill him. Him shrugging, hanging up, and drinking the coke is him just being like, "Well, the plan didn't work, shucks fellas," and bullshitting himself that they're not about to waste him.
he’s the guy i would wanna hang out with at the party. get coked up, have some drinks, and you know he want to the strip club or got some prostitutes for the after party
clubs and strip clubs suck although a club with him would probably be decent since he's rich and would get you into a vip area where all the prostitutes will think you're rich and wanna fug
"Well, I've watched 60 Minutes, and I'm saying to myself, they're motivated, they're happening, I.E. they want something. Maybe it's because you're pissed off or maybe it's the jockies, it's none of my business."
Wolf of Wall St tried to glorify this archetype and failed >techbros/cryptogays

only gullible 'marks' (mostly just normal everday people) were the target for these scumbags and not other scumbags as typically depicted in gangster movies
Yes it absolutely was. >black guy hero cop >black guy nice guy limo driver >bad guys are all white Germans, except >bad black guy is a computer hacker genius >feminist career driven power wife
But it never hits you over the head with it.
This movie has a lost art of having unlikeable people that aren’t direct antagonists. This guy & the news reporter are such slimeballs & make the film way more difficult for the protagonist. Wish more movies could do that rather the bland “this is clear good team & clear bad team”
I don't know if its true but I think the director allowed the actors to do a lot of their own stuff to make the characters their own.
(like the Chinese dude grabbing a candy bar and eating it when he's holding his gun)
they gave even minor characters a chance to shine. Its a lost art in modern films
Agreed, it's the little things that add realism to characters. Like McClane afraid of flying, Ellis' coke, the reporter a douchebag that his own studio doesn't trust, etc.
It's well-written, that's the problem with a lot of movies of today; no attention to detail anymore.
>Why is writing so bad now? Like what happened?
Writers too anxious with social media, as well as dying art of reading/writing.
Now every word of artists on social media is dissected, and it doesn't allow room for writers to take chances and have freedom to write how they want.
It's like 10 people standing over you while you write, all the time; who could write well under such conditions?
What the hell is a bubby anyway?
bube/bub. boy.

Correct
>snorts coke
>drinks Coke
kino
he asked the terrorists for coke and they misunderstood him
this is a very funny and underrated post
It's not a joke on anon's part, the implication is that an established cokefiend asked for coke and they gave him a can.
moronic. He wouldn't just ask some random terrorists for cocaine. And besides, he snorted a line literally right before going into the room
>moronic

Like poetry
i watched die hard like 20 times before i realized he was snorting coke off hollys desk
>missed some
H-Hans, this is a radio transmitter. Why are you pointing the gun at me?
HEY! SPRECHEN SIE TALK???
McClain literally got him killed.
Do you think he lied about being John’s friend because he wanted to be the center of attention or because he was smart enough not to expose Holly’s connection to John?
He was a midwit cokehead yuppie banker. He was only looking out for himself.
This is the only redeeming factor about him. He knew that was a bad idea all around.
He was a chad protecting Holly
Seemed like he was trying to get John killed/captured but also knew he would get Holly killed if they knew John had a connection like that to one of their hostages.

He was clearly a mentally moronic cokehead who had no idea what he was doing.
>6,000,001
Based Hans still doing the Lord's work
Ellis was Italian. Not a israelite, just a scumbag yuppie cokehead.
he’s the guy i would wanna hang out with at the party. get coked up, have some drinks, and you know he want to the strip club or got some prostitutes for the after party
>the schizos like to hang out together
shocking
sorry for partying bro, im just a bon vivant
Degenerate behaviour.
clubs and strip clubs suck although a club with him would probably be decent since he's rich and would get you into a vip area where all the prostitutes will think you're rich and wanna fug
No dude, that guy will screw you trust me

Who was Wyatt Nite ?
Die Hard is a perfect film
>you can't even do coke at parties anymore since it probably has fentanyl in it
I have literally never done coke in all my yearsof partying so this isnt a problem. Ive got my molly, k, and l from the same people since 2009
buy your own coke from a guy you trust you israelite
no way frick you.
freeloading poorhomosexual
Middle Americans worry about getting coke in their fentanyl
>putting an opiod in a stimulant
Yes
>Hans,bubala, I'm your mensch
What did he mean by this?
Wolf of Wall St tried to glorify this archetype and failed

But people lose their shit fellating Wolf of Wall Street
only gullible 'marks' (mostly just normal everday people) were the target for these scumbags and not other scumbags as typically depicted in gangster movies
>listens to the same Stevie Wonder song for 2/3 of the movie
What the FRICK was his problem?
when i find a song i like i listen to in on a loop for like 4 days
Hes black
Why did Argyle assume the nerdy black guy was one of the criminals at the end? he rams the van with him in it.
He knew there couldn’t be 2 good black guys in LA
>argyle
>Sgt Al Powell
was die hard WOKE?
Yes it absolutely was.
>black guy hero cop
>black guy nice guy limo driver
>bad guys are all white Germans, except
>bad black guy is a computer hacker genius
>feminist career driven power wife
But it never hits you over the head with it.
80's, 90's and early 2000's movies were trying to actually improve race relations
He saw him move the ambulance out of the suspicious truck.
>John remarks "who's driving, Stevie Wonder?" when Al circles the front of the building
>John's driver is in fact listening to Stevie Wonder
deepest lore
>ywn hang out alone in a parking garage listening to Stevie Wonder on repeat while calling your homies with your fancy car phone
Die Hard is spiritually a Metal Gear Solid movie.
This movie has a lost art of having unlikeable people that aren’t direct antagonists. This guy & the news reporter are such slimeballs & make the film way more difficult for the protagonist. Wish more movies could do that rather the bland “this is clear good team & clear bad team”
He and Burke from Aliens would probably drink at the same bar. I miss butthole side characters like that
Jurassic Park is also a good example of this.
A bar full of Cinemaphile's greatest 'local douchebag' characters
They need to make a Monsters Inc. type movie where all the butthole characters go to some secret headquarters when they leave a scene
I don't know if its true but I think the director allowed the actors to do a lot of their own stuff to make the characters their own.
(like the Chinese dude grabbing a candy bar and eating it when he's holding his gun)

Nepotism and entitlement. No idea what the other guy is talking about.
