Bruce Willis in "Die Hard with a Vengeance" (Credit: 20th Century Fox) “I never meant me any harm. All I wanted was a good time,” are the famous last words from John Self, the slovenly drunk protagonist of Martin Amis’s 1984 novel “Money.” Maybe it’s because he’s my own personal namesake (twice over, in a way), but Self’s words always vibrate, shakily, somewhere in the back of my imploding skull on those long, dreadful mornings after I’ve had too much to drink. “Oh it’s heavy,” whinges John Self, that shameless lout, that stupid bastard.
