Bruce Willis, in a rare photo, seen with machinery BEFORE it's been blown up.
Bruce Willis is the man, on so many different levels, I almost don’t feel qualified to type his name. He was in all four Die Hard movies, the first three of which are inarguably required viewing (both for their tagline and their advancements in the field of explosions) and the fourth of which was one of the best series refreshes of the refresh era. He was also in a ton of other awesome movies, like Lucky Number Slevin, The Sixth Sense, Sin City, The Fifth Element and on and on and on. His ex-wife goes and marries a douchebag guy 15 years her younger, but does Bruce get mad? Please. John McClane doesn’t get mad—HE GETS EVEN. So he goes and marries a girl 24 years his younger. Take that Ashton! You got Punk’d! (God am I glad that show is off the air).
Bruce doesn’t take himself too seriously either—he did great spoofs on himself in Ocean’s Twelve and What Just Happened and randomly appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman with a bunch of interns. At least 95 percent of cocky Hollywood wouldn’t even entertain stuff like that. In a sea of uptight, coke-sniffing, TMZ-ified a-holes, Bruce Willis is standing proud (with a wife 24 years younger than he is).
So now is the part where we discuss this trailer, for his new movie Surrogates. Its a scifi (or is that syfy?) thriller about a future world where people control robot versions of themselves and live great lives. But then someone starts killing surrogates, which kills the host human. So Bruce unplugs from his and kicks ass and uncovers a huge conspiracy to kill all the surrogates and why are we even going on about this? There’s going to be explosions. There’s going to be obvious plot twists. There’s going to be more explosions caused by a plot twist. But everybody involved with Surrogates knows that going in. There’s no pretention here—just honest filmmaking. Surrogates comes out Sept. 25. Yippie ki-yay m*****f*****.
