Bruce Willis - End of an Era

Recommended Posts

I don't know if you guys have been following Bruce Willis' career of late, but over the last 2 years he's starred in over a dozen terrible direct-to-streaming "Geezer Teasers." Just to give you an idea of how many and their quality, here's his Rotten Tomatoes since 2020:

No Score Yet   Fortress: Sniper's Eye Robert (Character) - 2022
No Score Yet   A Day to Die Alston (Character) - 2022
6%   Gasoline Alley Detective Freeman (Character) - 2022
No Score Yet   Vendetta Donnie Fetter (Character) - 2022
0%   American Siege Ben Watts (Character) - 2021
20%   Fortress Robert (Character) - 2021
No Score Yet   Deadlock Ron Whitlock (Character) - 2021
0%   Apex Thomas Malone (Character) - 2021
14%   Survive the Game David (Character) - 2021
8%   Midnight in the Switchgrass Karl (Character) - 2021
0%   Out of Death Jack Harris (Character) - 2021
3%   Cosmic Sin James Ford (Character) - 2021
20%   Breach Clay Young (Character) - 2020
0%   Hard Kill Chalmers (Character) - 2020
14%   Survive the Night Frank (Character) - 2020

 

There's been a lot of speculation recently as to why, and some of the darker theories were confirmed yesterday when it was revealed that Bruce Willis has been diagnosed with Aphasia, and is retiring from acting.

It seems this glut of recent low-effort bombs may have been an effort to rake in as much money as possible for him and his family to live off for the rest of his days.

It's an incredibly sad development, and I wanted to doff my cap and celebrate the career of one of the last great action movie heroes, and one of the first to make bald look cool!

The guy had some of the greatest movies of the last 35 years. 

Die Hard.

The Fifth Element.

Unbreakable.

Last Man Standing.

Bonfire of the Vanities

The Sixth Sense.

Pulp Fiction.

12 Monkeys.

And Hudson Hawk is a movie I dearly love for all of its fever-dream goofiness.

I wish him and his family well.

An incredible career regardless. One of the coolest actors ever for sure

That's a pity as Willis cemented himself as one of the world's top action stars with Die Hard. He didn't have Arnold Schwarzenegger's body or Jean-Claude Van Damme's training, but he was a man of the people, and the people have embraced his numerous everyman heroes through the years. 😪

    • AT got what he deserved. Be gone and enjoy those 4 catches and the bench and your pay cut
    • we have been bad offensively basically every game Rico Dowdle hasn't gone full Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson on folks.  
    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
