Hodges, a former city councilman who won the 2013 mayoral election, decided to live-tweet her thoughts on the classic 1980s action movie "Die Hard" - "by now well-documented to be the mayor's favorite movie" - during a public screening at the Riverview Theater in Minneapolis.

McClane might come to regret disparaging the negative effects of broken glass. I'm just guessing.#diehard
