Bruce Willis Re-affirms Awesomeness Nominally Awesome, Trashes Michael Bay
I was troubled about bad-mouthing Michael Bay's TRANSFORMERS effort even before I watch the movie. It was uncomfortably fanboy, even for me. But Bruce Wills lets me know that I'm not being overzealous. Not one bit. And that my Michael Bay assumptions were pretty much on the mark.
"I would rather eat a live baby in front of my grandma than have Michael Bay direct a DIE HARD movie. I would rather go hunting with Dick Cheney than let that car engine in a human skin leave his satanic fingerprints on John McClane. In fact, this new PG-13 thing is the only part of ruining modern action movies that Michael Bay is not personally responsible for. The rest of it is all him. Don't even fucking say those words in the same sentence, you’re only gonna give them ideas for part 5. It's like saying Candyman in front of a mirror, that motherfucker will show up and snort John McClane's soul right in front of you and then piss it out on your shoes,"wrote Willis. "Would have ruined DH4. Few people will work with him now, and I know I will never work with him again."
--Bruce Willis
This would be the second quote on the blandness of movies these days(first quote was by Scott Wiper). The family friendly trend which is runing it for those of us who want R rated action every now and again. Hello, Mr Hollywood. Not everybody in the wide world has children or needs curse words cut and graphic violence tamed. Entertainment should rise above the age of 18 now and again.

UPDATE: So Willis is not as awesome as I thought he was and I'm a little less awesome than that. Seems the striked bit was from some random AICN forum poster.
But because I like reading what that guy said so much, I'm only striking it and adding that Bruce Willis did not say the crazed ranting bits. Willis only said Bay would have ruined DH4, people won't work with Bay, and he'd never work with Bay.
In the long run, I think Bay came out better after the rantings of some crazed AICN forum guy.
