Eww, hairy guy.
Everything else is good stuff.
not a Bear fan?
Ooooooooh God, Nina Ricci pony boots. Delicious.
Interesting shoot. Too bad some people complain that Bruce Willis is too "old" to do this! Who cares, the concept is cool, and the shots will be memorable.
Shes like a living doll. Cool pictures.
I think he's just right for the role. Cyberpunk isn't all about flawless people. It's look is more the juxtaposition of new and used, utility vs. vanity. My only complaint is the way the double truck layout looks in the print mag, as the fold really conflicts with the composition of the shots a lot.Quote:

If he's 'just right' merely by virtue of not being flawless a lot of people would've done just as well, though.Quote:

So he's not a cyberpunk. Big deal? And outdated? Look at it like this, he's been donning the hairy chest look since it was in and he was like, 20! It's not his fault he's old. Besides, it takes a real man to rob museums and storm a two man assault on a mansion in Italy while singing songs like "Swinging on a Star" and "Side By Side"!
Actually, I always thought Bruce Willis had a bit of a look of a man out of time. He always struck me as sort of Chandleresque in the way he comes across, like very hard-boiled noir. Which I actually think fits an overall cyberpunk aesthetic very well, even though I personally have a taste for men who are manly but femmey looking. Bruce Willis was perfect in Last Man Standing which is loosely based on hard-boiled royalty Dashiell Hammett's novel Red Harvest. In movies with a more contemporary setting, Bruce Willis generally comes across best playing characters which feel pain but tough it out to do the right thing. Even in something very mass market like Die Hard, I think the idea was that Bruce Willis represented an older morality, not at all that he was a standard 80's guy.
