[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

Bruce Willis made some of the best movies like Die Hard, and he's one of the few Hollywood actors who didn't seem nuts. I hope he enjoys his retirement the best he can.

I'm a big fan of The Fifth Element. Back when my TV wasn't all on-demand I would always watch some of it when I found it on. Pulp Fiction is probably my second favorite. I also liked Sin City, The Whole Nine Yards, RED, and Die Hard.

I learned about aphasia from Agents of SHIELD. Nasty business. I hope he gets the best of care.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

^Oh, ick. I forgot 'North' existed. Elijah Wood's most loathesome role. "Worse than Kevin from 'Sin City', Boo?" Yupper.

...I feel bad for Bruce Willis. That's one of my big fears about getting older-----------I don't care about needing bigger stupider glasses or going bald (when you come down to it, me getting uglier is more everyone else's problem than mine). Having my mind fall apart by inches, now, that's terrifying.
