Ode to Bruce Willis

Ode to Bruce Willis

I'm not really a huge Bruce Willis fan. But the dude has been in some seminal movies. He's iconic and legendary so that makes him Too Much Metal. And you can get a really good idea of who a movie star is by the movies they choose. This is Bruce Willis defined by his movie titles: Fighter and Lover.  

Bruce Willis is not the Fifth Element but had a Sixth Sense about walking 16 Blocks and The Whole Nine Yards up to Sin City to Live Free with 12 Ocean Monkeys on a Blind Date. This was not a Catch .44 ! He was Mr. Lucky Number Slevin. And he had just found Precious Cargo.

But Over The Hedge and Within Striking Distance, the Unbreakable Red and Black Mamba Jackal Setup Armageddon. Bruce Willis cried Tears of the Sun as a Bonfire of Vanities and Vice held his Moonrise Kingdom Hostage. What Just Happened ?! Disney's the Kid felt his Mercury Rising as Death Becomes Her, and the Color of Night painted the Last Man Standing against the Last Boy Scout in an epic Siege to Rock the Kasbah.

The Cop Out or Extraction for Willis could have been to use his Mortal Thoughts and his Pulp Fiction Bandits of In Country, True West Marauders and Surrogates like The Expendables, The Prince, G.I. Joe, Nancy Drew and Hudson Hawk to Tell the Story of Us and his Labor of Love.

But In The Cold Light of Day, Willis is an Alpha Dog. Charlie's Angel on a Planet of Terror. The Perfect Stranger To Fight Fire With Fire and avenge his Hart's War. Lay the Favorite: Rug Rats Go Wild ! He's not some Looper at a Grindhouse in a Fast Food Nation. He's a Grand Champion, Astronaut Farmer of Moonlighting power ready to Gag Real the shit out of The Bombing and Assassination of a High School President. But Look Who's Talking ? Bruce Willis killed Hans Gruber. I'm Still Here. I am Bruce Willis and I Die Hard.
