“Advancing” having the
disease-related meaning. See, I think Bruce Willis and Christian Bale
both suffer from a similar career ailment.
I was dicking around on Youtube and
happened upon the entire pilot of “Moonlighting”. Not to narc
(WACHUN THINGS FO FREE IS WRANG), but for those of you who are
unfamiliar, “Moonlighting” was the big break of Bruce Willis.
What's shocking is that he doesn't play a beleaguered lone wolf cop,
he doesn't play a cop who plays by his own rules, he doesn't even
play a police officer who routinely disregards the procedures of his
department. He plays a smarmy, charming private detective, who will
mug at any opportunity and sounds like he walked out of His Girl
Friday. And he's a god-damned
revelation. He's hilarious, and you wonder what the hell happened to
that side of him. I'll tell you: Hudson Hawk
happened.
