We all love Bruce Willis to some extent. I mean, he's John McClane, Butch Coolidge, Malcom Crowe, David Dunn, John Hartigan and - best of all - Joe Hallenbeck.

When he's in the mood he does great press conferences as well. See for yourself.

Now, I don't agree with all of this but it sure is a great read, a breath of fresh air whn compared to all the standard 'this film is so good because...bla bla bla' stuff most press conferences are.

Some inspired quotes here:

"This country was founded on violence. Who's kidding who? We came here and said to the Native American Indians, ‘OK, we got some bad news, we got some pretty bad news, and we got some really bad news. The bad news is we're here. The pretty bad news is we're not leaving. The really bad news is we're going to take all your land, every tiny little bit of land that you guys have and put you on this little postage stamp of desert where you can't grow a thing, unless of course we find oil on that land. Then we’re gonna move you to another little postage-stamp place in Arizona, and we're going to fuck you over and give you blankets filled with smallpox,’ and if that's not violence, then what is, my man. What is?"

"You asking me about numerology? I don't believe any of that shit. I mean maybe, who knows? Here's what I believe. I believe there are a lot of things in the world that happen that are inexplicable but still happen. And I accept that, and that to me is part of what I call God. So — but God is also this snow, and God is also the little buds that come out on the trees, little babies that get born. That's my God. But organized religion you can set on fire."

Yay for Bruce ;)

I also love Bruce Willis.

He does a great comedy turn when required (Moonlighting, Friends, even The Fifth Element...) as well. And he can make otherwise pretty crappy films good, like The Last Boy Scout.

I do wonder about his hair sometimes though. Are those implants at the front or what?

Hey, I can't argue about his comedic turns, but it's the script, first and foremost, that makes The Last Boy Scout enjoyable. The fact that Willis has such lovable delivery is merely a wonderful bonus.

I'm a Republican only as far as I want a smaller government, I want less government intrusion, I want them to stop pissing on my money and your money, the tax dollars that we give 50 per cent of or 40 per cent of every year
I want the government to take care of people who need help, like the kids in foster care, the half a million kids who are in orphanages right now, they call them foster homes but they're orphanages. I want them to take care of the elderly and give them free medicine, give them whatever they need.

Twat.

What's so sublime and brilliant about The Last Boy Scout then? What is it about the script?

I had it down as a half decent action thriller type thing, that was made great by Willis hardbitten cop role.

Am I missing anything? Maybe I should go watch it again...

It's the sheer amount of great one-liners written by Shane Black.

It has more quotable dialogue than pretty much any other film I can think of.

He's making 2 sweeping statements that are completely at odds with each other.

Give the elderly free medecine... but don't you touch my millions of movie dollars!!

Perhaps the point he's trying to make is that he wants the taxes he pays to be spent on more worthwhile endeavours like those he described instead of bureacracy, lining politicians' and contractors' pockets and general wastage.

And war. Bruce obviously hates violence. Unless it's in his own films.

when i was about 10 or so.. i remember reading a article in a news paper about bruce willis and i thought demi moore. saying that they actually had proper sex in a sex scene? i was dumfounded a bit as i thought it was just acting?

what film was that? im wondering if its this color of night? but without demi moore obviously.
