honest question: What is Aphasia?

Think about all the needless waste of film that will be saved. His B and C movie career can finally end.

Will Smith's wife has it I think...





:evil:

aphasia, a language disorder caused by brain damage that affects a person’s ability to communicate.

Google says

He should slap Chris Rock on the way out.

Or is this why he's been making so many of those movies?

No wonder his acting has gotten so shitty.

Yipee Ki Yay, mother****er!

I believe Aphasia can be caused by a stroke. I wonder if he had 1 or a series of small strokes that went unnoticed?

Whatever the case, that sucks. Best to him, and I hope his condition has the capacity for improvement.

He would have been good in GI Jane II

He have close to you?

I think he's afraid of being slapped by Will Smith

Have no clue who's going to free Ukraine now

Good thing Phizer has a drug coming out for this disease! Hey and they even sponsored the Oscars...

Wait a ****ing minute....

Aphasia seven days after second dose of an mRNA-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccine

Though rare, neurological side effects of SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations are increasingly reported. Even if the first dosage goes uncomplicated, the second dose may be complicated by severe adverse reactions as in the following case.

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.

:LOL:

Bruce, I love ya, can't wait to see you in Rainman 2

Omg ROFL

Are you actually this big of a piece of shit

What you don't think its funny? No one forced you to take it....

Kill yourself bundle of sticks

I am pretty sure that many on this board suffer from the same illness. Most of the mods for sure.

Aren’t you the ****ing idiot that always posts in random threads on game day? You have absolutely zero room to talk you troglodyte

Die Hard 7 - Nursing Home Bliss.

I demand he unkill himself, checkmate

LEAVE BRUCE NAME OUT OF YOUR ****ING MOUTH

Oh for the love of christ.

Hey the Lounge really needs to loosen up, ever since Tyreek got traded ya'll have been so tight.

The problem started in 2015 when he had to be removed from a Woody Allen movie. So weird that the covid vaccine went back in time 5 years and made Willis sick.

ROFL

Ya'll are so damn defensive lmao...

Cash me outside how bow dat

I know someone in the industry who told me about this a year ago. I think I mentioned it here in some thread. He said Willis wanted to be working. So I don't know if it's exploitation as bad as the article is making it out.

I don't fight men I want sex with

Aphasia sounds like a Disney character name ore movie that Bruce Willis bombed in.

How bout I beat your ass then I beat those cheeks

CP is becoming vaccine woke don't ya know.





Honestly that could go on either side of that debate depending on how you look at.

Same thing with Jada and her condition. But people are going to people, I guess.

Maybe he didn't have many lines in them.

They explore how you can notice him being fed his lines, among other things in the last year of his movies.

Red letter media called it.

He wears an earpiece while acting which they suspected was someone feeding him lines.

Holy shit.

GFY.

At his peak, Bruce was one of my favorite actors. Wonder if the rumors of him being difficult and lazy are related to this problem.

o:-)

?

He has a condition that affects how he understands language.
How is someone speaking to him going to help him around that?

The earpiece he wore while acting, I suspect, was due to the well documented hearing loss he suffered while making the Die Hard movie.

Maybe there is a hallmark movie in his future

Capt_Von_Trapp has to be DeBerg's mult

So that's why he didn't appear at the Oscars when Pulp Fiction was honored. They had bald Travolta, old Uma, and supposed Canadian citizen Samuel L. Jackson.

Yabba dabba do mother****er!

WTF are you talking about? Act like a dick much or just today?

Aphasia can be a symptom of alzheimer's, dementia and other brain damage. I think they're just trying to sugar coat how bad his situation really is.

If he knew what was going on, you'd have to think he'd release a statement on his own and not have his family making his decisions for him at age 67.

Like I said, from what I heard from an agent in the business, Bruce wanted to keep working and doing movies, even if he didn't know what was going on most of the time. But there's also the fear that people close to him were exploiting him.

Bruce Willis is awesome. The Last Boy Scout is one of my all-time favorites.

Love that one. Probably time to watch it with my son.

Absolutely one of my favorite actors, but time had passed him by anyways.

On game day, your dumbass posts in random threads thinking it’s the game day thread. You will post 3-5 posts in a row in some random ass thread, apparently you are too ignorant to understand that you do that.


I act like a dick to people who deserve it, you act like you have toxic shock syndrome 95% of the time. So you definitely deserve it.

It WAS indeed.

My father-in-law has this. Was diagnosed a couple years ago. I think it's also somehow related to early onset dementia? That may just be in the FIL's case though, so don't quote me.

It's been hard to watch it take its toll on the guy. His speech has definitely been affected. He has a hard time "spitting it out," in so many words (no pun intended lol). It's only downhill from here, apparently. Sucks.

What a hateful little man you are. Pathedic piece of shit.

:spock:

yes

I’m far from little, also very far from hateful. Have lots of great relationships with people here on the board. I’m also smart enough to spell pathetic correctly.



Speaking of hateful, pathetic, little, piece of shit men. Do we want to go over all your posts shit talking an actor who is suffering a mental disability in this very thread? You are so unaware of how ****ing ignorant you are it’s absolutely incredible.

Nice call

That is to bad. I always liked him as an actor

I always enjoyed Bruce Willis. It's been a shame watching him and Nick Cage dwindle slowly toward Gary Busey.

Been standing around sucking on my big ol' chili dog

Smokin' cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo finally caught up with him...


...seriously, that does suck. I liked him in Red, probably the last thing I can think of watching him in.

Very sad. He always seemed like a regular guy and had a great sense of humor. And he got to boink Cybill Shepherd at her peak, and Demi Moore too, so he'll always have that. I really liked him in the Red movies with Malkovich.

Most likely too many Seagram's golden wine coolers

I'd be curious to hear the guidelines you go by at a later time...

Too bad. Usually a mini stroke. But, he will live forever, at least at Christmas time as John McClain.

The last Willis movie I saw was the Death Wish remake, which I thought was decent (certainly better than the reviews). Prior to that, it was probably the Red movies or the last shitty Die Hard.

As far as Willis being down to earth, I think those days are long past. I remember watching Kevin Smith (who truly does seem down to earth) talking about what a miserable **** Willis was to direct in Cop Out. The description that stands out the most was "soul crushing."

My thoughts as well.

He don't have any hair either.

The original Die Hard is still the gold standard for action movies. I can't think of one better. I saw it four times in the theater over the summer of '88.

It's up there with the original Lethal Weapon, which I guess is the standard for buddy cop movies...but it was up there too for sure.

Die hard dunks on LW….. end of debate

Lethal Weapon rocked, but Die Hard is better. Great story, great director, and in addition to Willis at his best, you had Rickman's turn as Hans Gruber. Probably the best movie villain ever.

FYP
