Pussifying John McClane
First we get a PG-13 Die Hard (the other 3 were R rated) for the family.
Now word is out that Fox is going to release a Live Free or Die Hard game. And the ESRB has given it a "T" (Teen) rating, rather than an "M" (Mature).
Why do they keep pussifying John McClane? He's a tough-talking, foul-mouthed, chain-smoking, heavy-drinking SOB. He's not a PG-13/T rated Tom Cruise Mission Impossible generic action dude. And I wish they'd quit presenting him that way.
I never thought I'd see the day where a Die Hard movie and a Harry Potter movie received the same rating. And now the Die Hard game is getting the same rating as the Harry Potter game?
What's next? A series of Die Hard mini-games on the fucking Wii, with John McClane brandishing a wand instead of a pistol?

I'm surprised even you got the Harry Potter joke. As long as I thought it was funny, it was worth it to me. Clever nick, btw.
Oh, and Live Free or Die Hard is a good movie. It's a shame that filming it for a PG-13 rating prevented it from being a great one.
