“I can give you look A (gives the look) or look B (gives the look). I only have two looks. So pick one and lets film this piece of crap.” A+ list mostly movie (mostly action) actor on the set of his new movie.
While i can totally see Bruce W say that, i would disagree with him, he does have two-three more expressions, not that many but he has,among the so called action movie stars he was the most expressive, iremember in Moonlighting he showed some nuances, once in a while.
After seeing some of his film choices advertised on Netflix, I wonder how he feel to such lows? Might not be the best actor, but he does have charisma. I found a lot of his films entertaining.
I think he has a decent screen persona for action movies. However I think the main problem is that he is simply lazy and grabbing the money. Basically this was Stallone's comment after Bruce wanted more money to do another Expendables movie. Apparently he was offered $4MM for four days work! I keep seeing his name on lower budget movies at the video store and, at first, I assumed that it must have been an interesting character to attract him to the role. However I then watch a totally ho-hum performance in a totally ho-hum movie and I realize he just did it for the money. Probably only works a few days, puts in a 10-15 minute cameo in a 90 minute movie and cashes the check.
internet articles are questioning whether Bruce was fired by Woody Allen & whether it really jives w/a scheduling conflict w/his play "Misery" or other film.
Maybe the script and scene was so bad this was all that was needed to sputter it out.. don't expect anything other than bored deadpan sighs from your audience either.. yippe ki-oh ki-yay!
Sounds about right. There's a well known story of you're in the industry about Mr. Willis. He basically said that everyone but him is worthless on set. A day or so later an electrician "accidentally" dropped a light he was rigging a few feet from where Mr. Willis was standing. He kept his attitude in check for a bit of time after that.
Definitely being facetious. He has good presence so is always in the scene, always his character. I haven't seen too much of his work but he was great in Mercury Rising. He could get his point across with just a look.
He's permanent A+ with A+ name recognition, and most men consider Die Hard one of the greatest movies ever (making it an A+ movie regardless of whether it won any academy awards).
He is NOT A+
ReplyDeleteI seem to remember this one..is this Greatest Hits day? And yes, Bruce Willis is still A+.
ReplyDeleteHe was A+ and it had nothing to do with his acting ability, but box office power. He's still A not sure about the +.
ReplyDeletewell at least he's honest.

ReplyDeleteDamn, how i LOVED him in that! He was so funny.
He was A+ during the 90's:
ReplyDeleteThe Die Hard Series
Pulp Fiction
Armeggedon
The Sixth Sense
Did he say that to Woody Allen?

ReplyDeleteHhhmmmmm...it would seem that way. I don't blame him really. Same story structure all the time. Who needs to learn lines.

ReplyDeleteWillis, when he wants to be can be very good just watch 1994's Nobody's Fool. He was the perfect foil to Paul Newman.
ReplyDeleteJoe
I dunno, maybe he was just being facetious here.
ReplyDeleteHa! I actually know the screenwriter for one of the movies he is filming this summer. This makes me laugh a little.
ReplyDeleteMovie = Going Under...read the message boards for the movie on IMDB and it sounds like this fits.
ReplyDeleteTyga is in that movie with Bruce... hahaha...seriously.
ReplyDelete(and Jason Mamoa for eye candy)

ReplyDeleteSupposedly he could not remember his lines. After having his lines put on cue cards, he still could not say his lines. Woody fired him.

ReplyDeleteat least he was honest about his lack of talent
ReplyDeletebruce willis was A+ when I was a kid. is this blind from the 90s?
