19 Alternate Die Hard movie posters

In trying to clear out my tabs to reach the nirvana of Tab Bar Zero, I came to Daniel Norris's reimagined Die Hard poster. I'd meant to post it months ago. He's got a bunch of really good movie posters, but I love Die Hard.

This reminded me of Olly Moss's Die Hard poster from a couple years ago. And then I got curious about whether there were any other Die Hard posters out there, and, oh man, let me tell you there are a couple, and these are all of them that I could find. Which one is your favorite? Did I miss any?

And then, these aren't movie posters but still valid in this post, I think.

Movies Where the Bad Guys Win

Scrolling down this list of 'Ten Movies Where the Bad Guys Win', I was terrified that I would come upon a movie I hadn't seen yet, but it did make me think about what would happen if the ending had changed on some of my favorite movies.

Imagine if Hans Gruber had teamed up with Harry 'Bubby' Ellis to do massive lines of coke and kill McClane using Holly as bait? What if Derek and Hansel hadn't been able to stop Mugatu in time? Or if the aliens had killed Will Smith in Independence Day OR Men In Black? Those'd be some different flicks then, no? What's the biggest bad guy winning turn around you can think of?

Olly Moss Movie Poster Design

I didn't realize last week that the zombie food chain shirt was made by Olly Moss, the guy who made the "Spoilt" T shirt with all the movie spoilers on it. He's good.

Now he's reimagined a collection of movie posters in a sparse, delicious style.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is good. Rain Man is super clever, but Die Hard is the best.
