A federal judge on Monday sentenced John McTiernan, the director of action movies including “Die Hard” and “Predator,” to four months in prison for lying to an F.B.I. agent about hiring the private investigator Anthony Pellicano to wiretap the producer of one of his films.
Mr. McTiernan, wearing brown cowboy boots and a blue blazer, did not speak when given the chance by the judge. His new lawyers argued that on the night he received the call from the F.B.I. agent, he was jet-lagged from a location-scouting trip to Thailand, had contracted typhoid and had stopped taking his antidepressant medication.
He was on the moon! With Steve!
Can someone incarcerate Uwe Boll next?
Hey, wait a minute. McTiernan directed The Hunt for Red October and *Die Hard.* He gets a lifetime pass.
Sure, if you didn't hate
Die Hard.
If you hated the greatest action movie of all time, I have nothing for you.
I can see the argument for both, but there comes a time when you have to choose one side or the other and in this, I have to firmly plant atop the Nakatomi Plaza.
yippie-ki-yay, motherfucker.
yippie-ki-yay, motherPG-13.

Seriously.
Free John McTiernan!! Somebody hand me a picket...I'm makin' a sign.
The Thomas Crown Affair. Best remake ever. And one of the most interesting director's commentaries.
Scooter Libby gets off and John McTiernan gets 4 months.
It's a topsy-turvy world we live in.
