Read this fascinating essay in BLDG BLOG that juxtaposes the Israeli Defense Forces' military tactics in its 2002 incursion into Nablus with New York cop John McClane's (played by Bruce Willis) innovative exploration and adaptive navigation of the terrorist-controlled building Nakatomi Plaza in DIE HARD, or what the writer refers to as "one of the best architectural films of the past 25 years."

If my modern architecture course at 9 am was more like this in school I might have stayed awake more easily.
