His latest? Holly Genero is the real bad guy in the original Die Hard movie.....

I just have to say this at the jump: Holly McClane is a bad wife. That fact didn’t always jump out at me; I used to think she was just a wildly unlucky person who happened to be ensnared in two of the biggest pre-9/11 terrorist plots on US soil. Then I looked at her deeper.

More than that, however, Holly “Gennero” McClane is very lucky, actually. She has a dedicated husband – twice tempted to stray, once by the stewardess upon his arrival in LA and again by limo drive Argyle with a corporate account and the wild women of Hollywood. And again, two years later another airline employee tried to pick him up at Dulles Airport, and again he passed. (This is without even mentioning how he saved her life twice, without even a thought to his own safety or holding it over her head, and a large part of the city of New York.)

What we do is someone who sets up a new life 3000 miles away from her husband, then drops his name “for professional purposes” without telling him. Who would humiliate someone they love to the point that they did not even know how to refer to their spouse or search for them in the corporate directory. No heads up whatsoever shows Holly was already checking out of their marriage.

Long after hope had been lost that Holly would come back to him, John still wears his wedding ring. Sad.

The Die Hard movies, at least the first three, are a testament to the dedication of one police officer to his wife and family, a commitment John McClane maintains long after his wife finally forsakes him after years from abuse and neglect. The other sequels are about a father’s love for his children, which leads audiences to conclude that he is still, deep down, in love with their mother, too, who has taken him for granted and abused him for years.
