Finally someone is affirming my man crush on Bruce Willis, the finest actor of this generation and a guy who churns out great performances like no other. Look, I'll admit he's not Morgan Freeman, but he redefined the action hero in Die Hard (which I still think is one of the best movies made) and people don't appreciate how he expanded scenes in the movie. Willis made a point of looking away from the camera angle and examining the scene around him to present a different aspect to the audience. It was brilliant. But it's not just the action films. In Sixth Sense and Unbreakable he delivered performances which reinforced the silent strength of the films' themes. And best of all, I hear he's a conservative (though admittedly the last I heard that was like 1990).
I would point out that even in this article, the writer can't help but take a swipe at Chuck Norris and Glenn Beck.
What the heck does Bruce Willis have to do with the end of democracy? Besides he did not refine the action hero role because no one has even been able to duplicate or expand on his work. FAIL
