In 2007 Willis starred in Live Free or Die Hard not a great film and not as good as the previous Die Hard movies but it's okay and Willis put in a decent performance.
In 2013 only 6 years later he starred in A Good Day to Die Hard an awful movie where Willis looked checked out in most of it and it was obviously just a pay check for him.
Is it any shock people assumed 9 years after that Willis was doing shit B movies where no real work was required for pay checks? No. People justifiably thought he got lazy because he was getting lazy even before his sickness.
Oh Blobby illness is Willis excuse for laziness and lack of quality but what's your excuse?
Pretty much that. Robert tries to play off people making fun of Bruce Willis was because he was a known dick to work with, and that maybe be one of the reasons, but the the main thing that had people talking about the man's Direct to DVD attitude of not giving a singular fuck about his movie, something Willis was already famous for years, even back when he was staring in big theatrical releases, way, WAY before he was at the age to develop his condition.
And that is what people were making fun of, that the man just didn't care at all.
Also, Robert, fucking spare me with the sanctimonious attitute, had Bruce Willis said anything that goes against your internet brand of progressive neo-liberal id-pol secular shit, you would front and center making has-been jokes about him, hell, not even that, had he said even something bad about the Marvel capeshit and Robert would be taking his cruel swipes the same fashion he does to any women that has the gall to show up at fox news.
Also, also, fuck you Robert for this "oh, I didn't talk about Bruce Willis because I know what happens to movies stars at certain age". yeah? Al Pacino is also making a ton of crappy direct to DVD and stream movies? Does he have dementia? John Cusack? Winona Ryder? Liam Nielson? Travolta? Cuba Gooding Jr. (I can keep going all day).
Turns out when a movie star falls out of relevance, they still have bills to pay for their big expensive lives. Yeah, everybody knows that Nicholas Cage fucked himself over with his bills, that is why he even shows up at brithday parties, but in most cases, hollywood stars don't stop living like ones when to phone stops ringing, and so you have this industry of straight to DVD flicks cashing in on investors over recognizable celebs names, and in most cases it turns out to be a easy paycheck for the celebs in question, since the production isn't all that demanding in quality.
So don't fucking act as if you knew all along Bruce Willis was being exploited or anything like that Robert, or act as if you are above this petty shit about insulting movie stars. People were making fun of Willis for a behaviour he has been showing for over a decade now, and it wasn't till recently when the signs of his alienation really started to becomes apparent.
Shove your self-rigthous finger wagging up your ass Robert, fuck off.
