This is a cool image from Jason Heuser, be sure to visit his Etsy to check out all his work. So this is a cool image from his that combines President Abraham Lincoln with The Matrix graphic. It seems as though his artwork is based on famous American figures in pop culture. He’s also got Paul Revere on a Tron bike, Barack Obama on a mountain lion, and Ronald Reagan riding a velociraptor. I’ve included those below.

A long time ago, I wrote a very long article concerning my favorite comedy: Tropic Thunder. It wasn’t soon after I published that article did I think of my favorite movies from other dramas. It’s difficult to narrow them down, but I eventually settled on action movies. I thought hard about which action movie is very much worth calling, ‘the best’. But when you really come down to it, the most influential and generally awesome action movie of all time is “Die Hard”. Almost every person can relate to the lovable John McClane, the idea of one man vs. a dozen is well displayed here, and the outside help elements are film staples we see in just about every action film these days. It doesn’t take a movie critic or a film education to realize how elements from this movie have influenced the industry today, and I’ll try my best to break it down for you all. But first, a summary.
John McClane, a New York police cop, is heading west to join his separated wife for Christmas and their children. His wife is in the middle of a corporate Christmas party after a celebrated project wrap up, so he must make his way to the building itself. Admist meeting her and her fellow co-workers, the building is suddenly taken hostage while John narrowly escapes. In a game of cat and mouse between John McClane and the terrorists, led my Hans Gruber, he must shoot, trick, and explode his way back to his wife with the help of a local cop and a young limo driver.

The Chive has created this awesome graphic giving you reasons to not take his daughter. With Taken 2 coming around the bend and the original Taken not being horrible, there’s decent reason to start getting excited. The graphic below gives you lessons based on Neeson’s career as to why taking his daughter is a horrible idea. My favorite: He Trained Batman
