Now that hes dead (mentally) what will his legacy be? Was he truly an A Lister?
>>214515081>I want one last Die Hard film with a senile John McClane escaping his nursing home
>>214515081Absolutely. Check out Altman's The Player to see how hot he was that they wanted to cast him in everything. He has plenty of bombs back in the day, but the combination of a compelling script and Willis's star power drive a medium budget horror movie to half a billion dollars world wide. Audiences cheered when Arnold, Sly, and Bruce finally shared the scene in the cameo in the first Expendables. He spent the past two decades before his mental decline in low level direct to streaming, but anyone who says he was NEVER an A-lister is revisionist.
>>214515081>an actual zoomer posthe surely was an A lister after the first die hard in '88 up to some point around the early-to-mid 00s
>>214515461>only popular for 12 yearsNot really that long desu
>>214515081for me, he crushed it in Fifth Element, 12 Monkeys and Die Hard. some of my favorite movies of all time. he also had like two dozen great movies like Sin City, Unbreakable, the comedy with Chandler. Shooting a dozen stinkers before career death is pretty understandable given his diagnosis. He was a 90s A-lister without a doubt
>>2145150813 movies wonder
>>214515874More like twenty years. That's certainly more than 15 minutes of fame, and that wasn't the question in the first place
>>214515081Who is that?
>>214515997>Fifth Element, 12 Monkeys and Die HardBased
>>214515081>A ListerHe was on a certain list.
>>214515874I mean that status never really goes away. Marlon Brando was a fat balding clown in his last days but people were still dying to work with him and meet him. Even now Willis' dementia is getting a lot of coverage cause he's a Hollywood legend.
>>214515112they have dementia villages where the residents think they're allowed to go out and go shopping and such but they're really trapped inside a complex and all the store clerks are in on it
The actor with one of the worst filmography ratings
>>214516953Can we get a reality show here filmed in the style of the Truman Show?
>>214516801>no Trumpfake
Every account I've ever seen about him painted him as a complete asshole, it's puzzling how he suddenly is a saint in the eyes of everyone. Similar to Charlie Kirk (though Charlie Kirk appeared to be a nice person to people he knew personally, just incredibly hateful with his rhetoric).
>>214517192>now he's a saintI wouldn't say he or Kirk are saints, but to not feel the slightest bit of empathy is to feel they deserve what they got, which clearly isn't the case. A man who stabbed a woman to death walks free, Willis is demented and Kirk is assassinated.
>>214517059His family 100% forced him to do those movies when his memory started to go. They had to milk him for every cent before he became non-verbal.
>>214517192>bad things happen to people now people feel bad for themIt's a mystery.
>>214517224His final years in the industry make a lot more sense with the dementia diagnosis, pretty terrible.
>>214515997Sixth sense was right there
>>214516878It's a good point. Nobody saw all the schlock he made in the final years, but the reaction to it wasn't, "Hey does anyone remember that guy Bruce Willis? He used to be kinda big, actually." It was like, "How did Bruce Willis, one of the biggest, favorite stars of my youth, take such a career trajectory?" The Razzies introducing the category, "Worst Bruce Willis Movie of the Year" was obviously acknowledging his much bad stuff he was doing, but it wouldn't have been a category on the table if he wasn't still so well known.
>>214517192>hateful with his rhetoricEvery politician
>>214517059>3 detective knight movieswtf is this? he managed to string together a dementia action trilogy?
>Hello 4 chan hackers I'm Bruce, love to be here on plebbit! I'm your fav action hero actor from '80 - early '90...ask me anything!
>>214517922Who are you?
>>214515112> Gets real gun> Now the Alzheimer roulette begins
>>214515997He will be well regarded again once it's been long enough for everyone to forget all his slop and only remember the kino
>>214517059grim
>zoomers don't even remember MoonlightingThis was peak Bruce, and awesome TV.
>>214517994Uh?
>>214518080>Bruce was 26 years old in this and with that hairlineGrim.
>>214517680But the dementia is actually kinda good cause it excuses that ex post facto. Before he was diagnosed with dementia he had aphasia, which is probably why he needed an earpiece to remember lines during the broadway production of Misery (pic related). He knew the writing was on the wall and decided to star in dozens of schlock films for quick paychecks to secure a future for his daughters.
