But I like the linguini spined liberals.

:) HA!

Good points, H.

$50-60 million at the box office is what you'll see from this movie. Big down south and in military areas but tons of bad reviews from the NY/LA Slimes, Boston Glob, Wash. Compost

More like $250 million.

Stupidest, most truly entertaining movie ever made: Fifth Element. :)

"Multipass..."

Gotta watch that again.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Good for Bruce. I like his style.

I haven't gone in a movie theater in ~ twenty years now (and didn't know if I ever would again).

We haven't either. The teenagers... even some of their parents, are rude, friggin slobs from the land of the unwashed, and we live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of NC.

Cell phones, beepers, constant candy wrapper rattling... I wait until a DVD comes out and buy it. It's cheaper, and we get to save a ton of money because our popcorn is a dollar instead of 5 dollars. And... we can watch it again. To me, the silver screen is dead.

[Cobra64]

I did too. I've seen 'em all. Including the weekly tv series of 'Combat', 'Gallant Men' and 'Rat Patrol'.

Yeah, John Wayne rocked, he was about as patriotic as they get! All the actors and actresses did their part in WWII. Even Abbot and Costello raised millions on war bond tours. They were about the biggest war bond sellers out there at that time. Now, the only thing in Hollywood are communist A**holes, or at least for the most part.

Hat off to Mr. Willis and I love his acting, even when he played the Jackal!

Yes!!! This is wonderful news!! Thank You Bruce Willis!! It's time our Hero's get their dues!!

This is a little something from me to our fighting Hero's over in Iraq.

"Merry Christmas To Our Troops In Iraq (My Hero's)"

I tried to put together a little something for our troops in Iraq for Christmas that could cross genre's and maybe be to everybody's liking. And at the same time I tried to mix in sounds that I thought would fit in both Iraqi and American music.

It's an instrumental Christmas song that I hope will fit for all our troops tastes in music and religious beliefs.

I hope they like it...

[Dustbunny]

Go for it Bruce, I know it will be a good one.

[JRios1968]

Bruce Willis ping...especially for you.

Wonder if he will enjoy a "reverse Fonda" effect

[calex59]

Mel Gibson not only made "The Passion of the Christ" but he starred in "We were soldiers", a great movie that showed the American soldier in Vietnam as something other than baby killing a**holes. They ruined it right at the end with the statement from the VC officer about how they were going to win but other than that it was a great movie by a great and God fearing man.

I was so pleased to hear about this. So many REAL LIFE HEROES! and hollywood couldnt give a damn about any of them, to tell THIER story. Well Bruce Willis is bringing much need attention to Michael Yon and his important work. I believe that his reports are going to define this war.

[paulat]

You are so sweet to think of me!

[FlingWingFlyer]

I'll second that. I've always been a Bruce Willis fan and now I will be for life. Die Hard is my favorite Christmas movie. LOL!

[paulat]

Ladies...

Really good news. . .and kudos to Bruce for taking on the Hollywood Establishmentwhile giving a much needed 'media boost' for our Military.

Or really. . .the other way around. . .

[forYourChildrenVote4Bush]

They could BAD review all they want...I'll be the second in line..the first will be my wife...

[pollyannaish]

Thank you Mr. Willis.

Our family rented Moonlighting episodes this weekend. I miss tv like that and it just reminded us of why we like him so much.

It's nice to know that there is still a hero or two left in that town.
