"Is Bruce Willis acceptable?"

I used to hate him, but can just about stomach him these days. How about you?

I have seen an Exelent Region 1 Die hard Trilogy Box Set on sale in America. I normaly do not like boxsets but it seems to feature LOTS of extras including alternative endings. Does anybody know when the set is to be released in the UK? (Region 2)?????????????????????????

Keanu Reeves? Nicole Kidman? ...

Big names can make a dodgy movie...

I think thats a generally acknoledged fact...

Also, I can think of very few MAJOR actors that arnt considered to be a part of the becautiful people...

Special Effects and pretty people ARE pretty mcuh the hollywood mix...

Thats 99% of Hollywood screwed then :)

you know, I don't think it is! I don't think that Hollywood would have survived that long if it was JUST about that. I think it's all part of the mix...

But does a star need to be attractive? That would really be bad, if you were going to see a film just because of an actor/actresses looks rather than their acting ability.

Altrhough, strangly, Ive met few women who find him attractive?

I actually like his stuff. He seems to be able to handle different roles and looks up for a challenge.

Then again, I'm one of the seemingly few that likes Fifth Element, it's a top sci-fi movie that tries to be different from the usual run of the mill stuff that gets mass produced these days.

6th Sense just shows that he can do completely different roles well, not just the action hero stuff.

Small price to pay.

He beats Stallone any day. 8{D

He does seem to have a need to loudly exhale before every sentence....

FABIAN : Butch, whose motorcycle is this?
BUTCH : (exhale) It's a chopper.
FABIAN : Whose chopper is this?
BUTCH : (exhale) Zed's.
FABIAN : Who's Zed?
BUTCH : (exhale) Zed's dead, baby, Zed's dead.

I personally think that Bruce Willis is a Briiliant actor. From his supurb macho guy act in the Die Hards to his more comedic roles like in Friends and The Whole Nine Yards. What puts him ahead of the other action stars who attempt comedy is that, unlike Schwarzanegger, he pulls it off. (C'mon, Jingle All The Way? What the heck was that?!?)
