    dude has had a few sketch moments, but overall YAY!

    RED wasn't a bad recent movie.......not amazing, but easily watchable

    and no mention of the whole DIE HARD series?? wtf??!?

    i say yay. even though he pretty much plays the same exact character ever since the 90s. you left off quite a bit of work from his ouevre.

    i liked him in 12 monkeys, the first of many in his philly centric oeuvre. i also liked Moonlighting reruns as a kid.

    but i really hate his music -when he tries to do Respect Yourself and Under the Boardwalk that's when i hear nails on a chalkboard like whoa and i feel weird inside

    NAY. dude is corn. his filmography is weak as hell. die hard/ pulp fiction. that's it. and pulp ain't really his movie. don't get me started on the records.

    The fact that he has not, as yet, strangled Ashton Kutcher does not reflect well on the strength of his pimp hand. Reasonably likeable actor, though.

    they are my favs

    die hard is default steez
  • grandpa_shiggrandpa_shig 5,799 Posts
    id have to put moonlighting as the default. i liked his comedy stylings more than his cop who plays by his own rules bits. you know, like hudson hawk and the jackal.

    Die Hard is one of my favourite movies so yay for that. Otherwise, I'm neutral about him as an actor.

    i never undrstood the moonlight hype. shit remind me of the cheers era. i just wasnt home in my teens to sit in front of the tv and watch that stuff. i missed several seasons of miami vice cause i didnt care about tv at the time. the moonlighting blone was not cute enuff for me to tune in.

    i was in the third grade. it was awesome cuz it was one of the few shows my strict asian parents would let me watch up until about 930, so i usually missed the last 1/2. it was also one of the first tv shows that had decent music. i distinctly remember when a man loves a woman and whiter shade of pale.

    YAY....



  • DanteDante 371 Posts
    Yay, and not only because of Pulp Fiction.

    The Kid is a personal favorite.

    He used to feign Italian ancestry and call himself Bruno when he was a barkeep. Yet as I lash out my clenched fist to punch that smug mush, it turns into a "Good goin', kid!" series of friendly slaps to the jowl.



    I must deal.

    Had some well written comedy in it for what it was. Also pushed the boundaries of convention by breaking the fourth wall and whatnot, compared to other prime time stuff that was going on at the time

    Have you guys seen Kevin Smith's "Too Fat for 40"? The story he tells about directing Bruce Willis is rather funny.

    What's the Cliffs Notes version of the story?

    Bruce Willis was a giant douche bag after calling Kevin and being all "we're from Jersey. We gotta work together".

    He basically plays the same character over and over again but sometimes the script etc. is just more clever. This is a classic scene (unless it was bitten from a movie i don't know of) from Hudson Hawk :

    The Fifth Element is top 5 sci-fi movie of all time.

    unbreakable wasn't good.

    i don't care if you're into comic books or whatever.

    it just wasn't good.

    disagree

    Therre are a sliver of superhero flicks that really shows what happens to a person that gains abilities or copes with them.

    Unbreakble hits that button. Daredevil and the Batmans both show u what its like when u get home after fighting crime and the mind/physical shit a hero goes through. Thats enuff for me when weighing it against the genre.

    Most of the genre doesnt even go there.
