I just watched one of his latest movies -- He wasn't there

Bruce wasn't there. He spoke slowly, and was a shell of his former self. At one point he smiled, and it was the old Bruce.
But generally he had a blank aspect, was clearly repeating words without context, and couldn't listen and react. There was nothing of the old Bruce except that one smile.
How that creepy, blood-sucking family could have allowed it to go on for so long shows little regard for his welfare.
They should be ashamed of themselves.

To be honest, there's a few other former A-listers in DTV movies that give similar performances (who don't even have Willis' health problems as an excuse)
Most of their 'performances' are usually filmed in around a day (as stand-alone dialogue) then other actors are brought in later to react to the footage (usually shot via body doubles, etc)
It's a practice utilized in DTV movies, long before Willis started making them.

That said, I noticed that his (already lazy) line recital became somewhat slurred around 2019/2020 (yet he still 'headlined' another 20+ movies since)

I (and others) were happy to mock this (perceived) laziness, before his condition was made public....but as it stands now, it's a rather sad way to go out (and will definitely taint any subsequent unreleased titles that will be invariably hitting the shelves this year)

In a weird sad way his condition/retirement will probably give a boost to sales of his remaining dtv films (and previous ones)

What seagal72 wrote. I wish this site had a like button.

Jeez, I think I'm going to throw up!

Where's that sickbag button...

[–] seagal72 (2014) 3 years ago

'Sickbag Button' (located alongside the 'Angsty-Edgelord' button)

We'll probably never know what's really happening. Either his family is taking advantage of him. Or he just wanted to make as many movies as he could while he still could. We'll never know.

He's always been like that - can't act and is a smug c*nt.

Now a senile one.

You come off as the sort of person who'd trip a blind man then laugh when he falls. You don't know, apparently, but that's a bad thing.
