Dementia is the worst. I would take dying of cancer or getting hit by a bus over Alzheimer’s or Aphasia or other forms of dementia. Truly the worst way to live your remaining years, which often is decades.
based on how they investigated CTE victims in the pro contact sports like Junior Seau and Bob Probert the process for confirming CTE seems to involve removing and destroying the brain, though I imagine they could do symptomatic correlation
He's a good actor and a great leading man. He doesn't have the most range but when you need his tough-but-not-too-tough-sarcastic-everyman-who-can-take-a-punch.
Hudson Hawk is one of my favorite movies ever made.
postscript: I just realized he's actually credited as a co-writer of Hudson Hawk!
I watched Hudson Hawk for the first time a couple years ago and it’s one of the most fun, insane, over the top weird movies I’ve ever seen. Even stranger knowing that Bruce Willis had wanted to do this cat burglar character for years prior.
I don’t even know what comes close as far as times I’ve said “What the fuck?” while watching a movie. It’s great.
Sucks man. He and Arnie will always be my favorite action stars.
Every time I catch 5th Element scrolling through the channels, I put it on. It’s tied with Die Hard at the top of my list.

Same, when u had cable at least. I had gotten trolled by The Fifth Estate, a Canadian investigative news series, so many times while surfing thinking it was Fifth Element.
As someone who has a close family member that battles with dementia I feel for the Willis family. You get to watch the loved one you remember die a little bit each and every day until you start to forget how they used to be. Life is rough, don’t forget to enjoy what you have in the moment because it’ll be gone before you know it.
This isn't just dementia. This is frontotemporal dementia, AKA Pick's disease. Likely he's been suffering for years before it got bad enough to seek help. You don't even notice it at first. It starts with personality changes over years. They become a different person before they progress to having trouble speaking. By the time he became aphasic, the person he was had likely disappeared completely. Before anyone even realized he was sick. I feel worse for his youngest children, who likely never got to meet the real person before the disease.
Haven’t experienced it with a human family member, but my dog was like that in her last year or so of life. I know it’s not the same, but it really sucked and I did forget parts of her personality over time.
