Meltdown Mel’s Hollywood Current-spective 7

I had the pleasure of seeing a (slightly) advance screening of Live Free or Die Hard last night. And saw a familiar face.

Apparently Mel wasn’t content appearing in just ONE of this year’s independence day spectaculars and he decided to go for a twosie.

Early in Live Free or Die Hard we witness Matt Farrell (played by Justin Long) at his computer workstation in his apartment. As he gathers his things and John McClane plays with Matt’s Spawn figure, we can see two Mel stickers on a gray metal panel against the wall behind Matt. Go Mel! (I’ll provide some pics as soon as I can get them)

Transformers, Live Free or Die Hard…what will Mel’s next role be?

EDIT: As promised, here are some captures from the movie, showing both the Daniel Clowes and Junko Mizuno versions of Mel:

You can watch 8 minutes of the film, including Mel’s big scene, here.
