Bruce Willis Rips Michael Bay

UPDATE: Welcome to the Internet! Thanks 12ft_Eskimo for pointing this out in his comment below, but it turns out Bruce Willis did not make the quote we posted. You know what they say about something that is too good to be true. I have been known to get things wrong on occasion, but actually I got this story from two sources and the original got it wrong and retracted the story.

"Retraction: We previously accidently contributed the quote “I would rather eat a live baby in front of my grandma than have Michael Bay direct a DIE HARD movie.” to Willis when it was in fact one of the black box moderators. The story has been updated to reflect Willis’ true comments."

You can read the entire real exchange here.

Wow, at least I know I have something in common with Bruce Willis, we both hate Michael Bay. Bruce, who starred in Bay's 1998 hit Armageddon, lashed out about Bay when someone suggested that Bay would be a good director for future Die Hard Movies.

Willis said this on AICN:

“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.”

I guess Michael Bay just doesn't like to cash in on and ruin my beloved horror films, and soon Transfromers, it also sounds like he may be a major dick, or just that bad of a director?

It also seems Willis is getting a bit nasty in his old age, and for that I salute him. Get'em Bruce, get'em!
