Die hard 4.0

Am I the only person on earth who doesn't understand why this sad sack named Bruce Willlis is a big, popular movie star? Or why trash like the Die Hard films are boffo at the box office?

Bruce has a sly smile, a badass attitude, and a great body. He's believable as an action figure.

Last night I watched him for the umpteenth time in Pulp Fiction - and he's still terrific. Of course, every performance in that film is stellar.

No Merry A. you are not, how Bruce Willis ever got to film star status is beyond my understanding, but the same can be said of Stallone, Van Damm, Shwartzenegger and all the non entities that make these embarrassing kung fu type clap films.

Each to their own as the saying goes

I don't understand why producers let it pass when they are in as many clunkers as Bruce Willis. Of course, we know Ahnold hadn't made a profitable movie since "True Lies," the only one I really enjoyed him in -- thought he personally torpedoed "Total Recall." Then he goes into politics. A deja vu of several other has-been "actors." But Willis was great in "Pulp Fiction," the first "Die Hard," and in the old Moonlighting TV series. Please don't tell me he is now running for office.

I really liked him in The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable and also thought he was very funny in his 2 episode cameo for the TV show Friends, slightly different work than the usual Die Hard fodder although I like them too!
