Pretty decent sequel actually.  Tried watching American Ultra. Gave up 30 minutes or so in. Just hated the characters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted June 19, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted June 19, 2016 Yeah, so did I. Eisenberg does my nut in, so it had that going for it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DEF Posted June 19, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited)    What’s the story with Bruce Willis though? When did he take a Seagal/Liotta/Cage turn? I really don’t get it, lads. I mean, he still has name value. Women still love him, his name still oozes star power, The Return of Bruno is still a wonderful album, he’s a household name so why is he doing an exorbitant amount of shit? And knowingly doing an exorbitant amount of shit, too.  Basically, it’s about a mob boss who rips off a thief, who hires an ex to get it back. And they get a team together. Foolproof did it a million times better and that’s a kids movie, so that’ll tell yiz.  Apparently he's a massive prick. It wouldn't surprise me if the A list stuff is off the table now, unless his character's name is John McClane. By all accounts he's as bad as Snipes was on Blade Trinity if not worse. Sooner or later people aren't going to put up with that. Edited June 19, 2016 by DEF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wealthy aristocrat is really one sadistic fucker. We watched that on Netflix, must be about months or so ago. I felt it just came across as a bit of a poor man's Saw. Still, better than Circle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Maverick Posted June 19, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted June 19, 2016 Such a weird cast that, Jeffrey Coombs, Sasha Grey, June Squibb and Ricky from Trailer Park Boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Clint Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Also Gotham's Robin Lord Taylor plays Coombs son. As I said I thought it was a decent watch even if the ending was quite predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all accounts he's as bad as Snipes was on Blade Trinity if not worse. Sooner or later people aren't going to put up with that.   Kevin Smith has often talked about how he was the most difficult actor he has ever worked with when they made 'Cop Out' a few years back.  Then Stallone dropped him from 'The Expendables' franchise, going as far as calling him "greedy and lazy" in some tweets afterwards.  Apparently Sly wanted him to do 4 days work for a minor role on Expendables 3 and Willis said he wanted €4m. Stallone tried to negotiate saying it was a big ensemble cast and none of the others appearing (who were all working a lot more than 4 days) were all earning much less than that. But Bruce stood firm and would not settle for less, so Stallone cut him from the film.  There are other things I've heard about in recent times, like when he did an interview in the UK promoting 'Red 2'. He made no effort whatsoever in answering questions and treated the interviewer like a dickhead just for doing his job.  All that sort of stuff has led to the A-list people in the industry no longer wanting to work with him.

Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted June 20, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted June 20, 2016 I never saw that Red 2 press interview before. That's horrible carry on, although the interviewer was a bit magoo and if Bruce is a natural bully, it's pretty much a bullseye for him. He'll always be David Addison, R-Rated John McClane and Eddie Hawkins/Hudson Hawk to me, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dopper Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Ah David Addison. I have vague memories of watching 'Moonlighting' many times with my Mum when I must have only been in single digits. Â Is it actually any good, if I was to revisit as an adult 30 years later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Is it actually any good, if I was to revisit as an adult 30 years later? I watched it for the first time about 6 months ago and loved it. Admittedly, the last couple of series with more Agnes DiPesto gets a bit tiresome. Other than that, it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted June 20, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) Exact same memories as me, Dops. From when I was about 5 to when I was 9, almost every week with me ma watching David Addison be the coolest person on the planet.  I got all the seasons a few years back and me and the missus watched them all again. It's still as great as you'd remember. The chemistry between the leads is palpable (considering they hated each other), it’s quirky, bizarre at points and just lovely to watch...except for the Herbert/Agnes bases episodes. The ‘My Fair David’ ep is still a joy and I’m actually going to go home and watch this tonight after thinking about it.  When I think of Bruce Willis, I don’t think of a vest, harsh language or an odd upper lip. I think of this exact face, and always will: Edited June 20, 2016 by Scott Malbranque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 If I pretend that Bruce is just angling to fill the Clint Eastwood grumpy old git shaped void in Hollywood then I think I can still love him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted June 20, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted June 20, 2016 I still love Die Hard, 12 Monkeys etc, but I pretty much went off him when I foolishly paid to see the last Die Hard dry fart and realised I paid to watch a man half arse his way through every bit of dialogue he had to begrudgingly mumble. The only sort of acting Willis seemed to even attempt was make sure to pout, even that was delivered like an apathetic Baldwin. Â For that reason, I'm pleased his career has went a bit Nic Cage. Â Typing of, what happened to Jim Carrey? Is he another pain in the arse? I mind him on Stern saying it was down to him not getting the right film roles because Hollywood only does big superhero films and smaller other films (according to Carrey), but Carrey has done some right nonsense in the name of some pay.

WyattSheepMask Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) The last thing I saw him in was Dumb. & Dumber To which was less fun than being raped by a lion. Looking at IMDB, the last solo leading role he had was Mr Popper 's Penguins from 2011. Once he made a name for himself he was one of the top earners in the 90s and turn of the century, estimates put his net worth at around $150m so I reckon it's just down to him not needing to work more than anything else.
