Rickman always made a great villain. He was brilliant in Prince of Thieves.

And who can forget his sour character in Galaxy Quest?

Makes you wonder if that sudden burst of (bad) movies wasn't a last batch of paychecks to coast on and he didn't know this was a possibility for quite some time.

8 movies last year and something like 10 already in post this year? Guy was just flying through commitments.
I read rumblings about him having early-onset dementia a few weeks ago, and someone commented that these movies were a compensation for that. Not having seen them, I guess he only needs to film for a day or two, and most of them are shot in a way that almost all other scenes can be accomplished with stand-ins.

Idiots like him are really ****ing stupid.

I’ve worked with thousand of people with aphasia.

I’m going to see if he will meet me for therapy.

“They stated that he was happy to be there, but that it would be best if we could finish shooting him by lunch and let him go early,” Johnson recalled of the conversation. Filmmakers proceeded to quickly film the actor’s parts, even as Willis questioned where he was: “I know why you’re here, and I know why you’re here, but why am I here?” two crew members said he asked aloud.

“It was less of an annoyance and more like: ‘How do we not make Bruce look bad?’” one of the crew members said. “Someone would give him a line and he didn’t understand what it meant. He was just being puppeted.”
This sounds like he's got major cognitive decline.

Quote:
One of Willis’ final larger-scale films, “Paradise City,” was filmed on the Hawaiian island of Maui last May, after the pandemic delayed production for a year. Chuck Russell, the film’s director, and a second crew member said Willis was thrilled to be reunited with a fellow “Pulp Fiction” star in Hawaii. (The film is scheduled for release this summer.)

“He was excited to work with John Travolta, and you could see the old Bruce Willis charm was still there,” Russell said. “He really brought his A game, and we made sure that he and John had a great experience filming together.”

Busey was self inflicted.

Yep and I also like the guy in Quigley Downunder.

Damn. He's only 67.

My maternal grandmother died from that shit. It was awful. In the end she didn't know anything or anybody, and spent her days playing with a doll and babbling like a baby. I'd eat a bullet rather than suffer that fate.

When my mom started working as a nursing student she worked at a home. One of the first days she was there they admitted a man who had Alzheimer's and who could no longer take care of himself. Security measures weren't nearly as tight back then, and the guy snuck in a gun. That night he shot himself and she was the lucky one to be the first in the room after the noise of the gunshot startled the staff.

That's awful for her, but like I said, I don't blame him one bit. I'd sooner get burned at the stake in the middle of Mile High in front of thousands of cheering Bronco fans than slowly die in a nursing home.

Although personally I think I'd have done it before I got there, after first taking out whoever thought it was a good idea to put me there in the first place.

My mom died a very slow death from Alzheimer’s. Wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

I should have said LW ranks up there with Die Hard...I agree, Die Hard was a classic and is better...but LW was ****ing great too. Just not quite as great.

I will always be grateful to Bruce Willis for making "Die Hard" the best Christmas movie ever.

Because of this thread, I watched one of Willis' recent "b" movies...it sucks. I am glad he is quitting because he has become Nick Cage.

I was watching a video about "surprise guests on Comedy Central roasts" the other day. Demi Moore shows up at Bruce Willis roast and one of the jokes she made was about his terrible memory.
