Or are at least presented with an interesting coincidence:
Thursday night, four of us sit down to watch Die Hard. Two of us had never seen it, a good time was had by all. Friday, there’s a terrorist bust in North Carolina (I think it was North Carolina. Somplace.).
Monday night, we are told that we have to see Die Hard 2 as well. Lacking other big plans, we watch the movie. Tuesday, the Concorde crashes.
I think the pattern only will work for Die Hard movies. Weren’t there three or more of them? If it worked with any movie I would watch “Its a Wonderful Life” or “Twin Peaks.” Both of those would be for obviously different reasons.
