Half in the Bag: Pam and Tommy and Bruce Willis 

Mike has dementia confirmed

​@@PhantomFelix211164 Of course! That´s why he always has a script

@@elisnilzen783 so sad 😔 Mike had to have two sheets of paper this time.

Mike’s brain’s been on autopilot since 2009

Yeah

You might genuinely be on to something here. Years ago, I remember reading an interview with Devon in "Teen Beat" magazine where he mentioned that "Pulp Fiction" was his favorite film. So indeed, this could all be a strange form of wish fulfillment gone awry.

Genies are the absolute pros at malicious compliance. "Oh you wanted a million dollars, huh?" - Genie who just teleported you into a bank vault where a bunch of police are standing with guns drawn.

That's the funniest shit I've read all week lol.

A classic Monkey’s Paw as they say in Hollywood

Sounds like a Calypso wish from Twisted Metal.

Who knew that these hack frauds were actually Hollywood insiders, eh?

So sad.

I feel kind of bad now for laughing at these two videos they did about Bruce, even if we didn't know about his diagnosis when they were released.

Yes man, quite sad indeed.

Now I'm glad that Bruce got to make all of these films I never want to see.

I'm super cynical, but it seems like they got caught doing elder abuse.

Time for Ole Joe Biden to come clean

@@ZakirKH A lot of people confuse aphasia with things like dementia and it's not. the person is there and is unchanged, they just start to experience problems with either understanding or being understandable. So it's not like someone is moving around a husk of a man, it's still a man, just with a crippling disability like loosing hearing (which Willis also has in one ear), or vision.

@@PictureProductStudio Still capable of being abused. If he can't communicate properly what's the chances that a producer could have intentionally misconstrued what he tries to say sometimes?

@@rosihantu1 ok, champ 👍

I look forward to the batman featuring bruce willis' voice clips from assorted movies as the bat review.

*BREAK IT DOWN FOR ME.*

Time to start my fan campaign for Bruce Willis to be Mr. Freeze

Don't you mean "Where's the The Batman review?"

You'd just be mad when they explained how bad it is anyway.

Its like poetry, it rhymes.

4th wall breaking.

It subverts expectations.

...I see youtuber sycophants, repeating the buzzwords of their idols.

@@RegularCupOfJoe It was directed by Rian Johnson

Will he be starring with Jada in GI Jane 2?

"Cos" isn't a word.

@@user-hr1xf1dt3d "yeah" also wasnt a word, until it was. cos thats how language evolves

Those hackfrauds not only kill people now but also their careers!

​​​@@user-cn7io2pe8p English only devolves, lol. But at least "cos" will never be recognized as a real word no matter how much idiots like you push for it.

Dude’s demented cut him some slack bro lmao

ASMR for the soul

@@mezalos That loud crackle always fills me up with dopamine

Than they're was when we goed to the libarry and rented an book but is ok cause even nobody can read or rite the Inglish language anymore their is pictures that are fun to fingerpaint with boogers.

Boomer sheets

@callmecatalyst we're still waiting!

Same.

Same here too lol

I knew Motley Crue but I had no idea who any of the band members were. And I didn't realize that Pam didn't intentionally leak the footage.

My mind always pictures Tommy Lee Jones first, and then I have to remind myself "no, Tommy Lee from some rock band...." I probably remember him being from Motley Crue about %70 of the time lol

This is such a 90s kid thing. That and the rumour about Marilyn Manson's ribs.

Ralph did it first

Just like when they predicted Steven Spielberg having a thing for little Asian boys in Yankees caps

@@SnoopyReads dang what happened wit hthat?

Please don't give them ideas.

And have him only take off his helmet during the 4th act to deep-kiss a transvestite pornstar. I think you're onto something here.

Like the abed cut with Chang in community. I like it

*Mandalorian theme intensifies*

I don't think the Bruce Willis movie factory can afford to CGI his head into a helmet

You joke but I'd actually watch that especially if it was based off of Bruce Willis

I can definitely see Bruce Willis trying to one-up Nic Cage's "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent" by starring in this.

@@CairoFahrenheit What this have to do with anything? I mean you are right, dementia is not an illness, but no one is talking about what caused his dementia but what effects it may have on him.

Ill never understand how major stars who have made hundreds of millions during their career need to make any more money at the fading years of their lives. I mean, basic investments, folks.

Bob Odenkirk as "Bruce Willis"

He was still great in Moonlighting, the peak of his talents and best work.

This guy gets the whole than then thing. Must be a genius of some kind.

Damned by faint praise

it's the sincerity that seals it

I'd rather he just told me to kill myself

I’m sorry for your loss may your Father rest in peace

Geteven Two: Getevener starting Bruce Willis

Getevener : Geteven First Blood Part Two The Dark World : Electric Bagool-aloo

I almost feel like people need to apologize to aging actors like Caine, De Niro, or Cage for taking obvious money jobs. Because as bad as most cash grab films are, at least the actors put in the effort to give a performance. At worst they're just a movie you regret paying for if you saw it in theaters. This new Bruce Willis stuff is so bad though, it makes Direct-to-Video films look like Blockbusters. Legitimately the only interesting thing about them is trying to theorize in what part of the film's production did the money laundering occur.

@@llJiggyFlyll Worth noting that Alec Guinness took a role in a silly American sci-fi movie for the paycheck, a role offered to him because the studio wanted some better known actors in the movie. He did wind up regretting it, but only because that wound up being his most remembered role. But like those you mentioned, he did put in effort, because he's professional.

@@Axterix13 Guinness put down and demeaned the Star Wars franchise until the day he died. I get that he considered himself a serious thespian and probably thought he was just slumming it, but after he saw the success of the films and what they meant to people, you'd think he would have tried to be a bit more charitable.

Yeah, there's dozens of A-level popstars who gladly perform for sheikhs, oligarchs and autocrats on private festivities, even in their prime and mostly no one cares. That's much worse than whatever Nic Cage and Bruce Willis are doing.

@@llJiggyFlyll Imagine thinking anyone needs to apologize to extremely wealthy people for anything at all.

Maybe he spent a lot of his money and making some more will ensure he can have good medical care in his retirement.

It's not that depressing. It depends on the condition that's causing the aphasia and whether it's a rapid or slow cognitive decline. By all accounts, it has been a slow decline for Bruce so he has been able to work albeit at a much lower capacity. Many people experiencing decline actually prefer to work as long as they can because it gives them routine.

He's broke. He gave everything to Demi and his kids

Aphasia does not necessarily mean cognitive decline. Bruce might be completely aware and competent, intellectually speaking, but he's unable to use the "right words". Some people with aphasia are fully aware of what people say to them and can still read and so on, but (depending on the type) they struggle with outputting the vocabulary they want to, sometimes in the form of not being able to find words at all and "struggling" to transmit their thoughts, sometimes fluently speaking but using complete nonsense to a listener. But their brain "knows" what they're trying to say, it just can't communicate it properly. Not saying this is definitely the case, but it's by no means certain he's (literally) demented. He might be completely cognizant of his situation and what's happening, and able to understand contracts and whatnot, so (as others have speculated) he might be using his fading ability to communicate to ensure his family is provided for.

Tifton downtown is nice

I had a few friends working on the set of Gasoline Alley. It was hilarious to hear stories from set.

Don't feel bad. I worked in Hollywood for over a decade and almost everything I worked on was trash. Wild Wild West,Anoconda, Sphere,Volcano, Jurassic Park 3, Flintstones: Viva Rock Vegas, Alien: Reserection, Batman and Robin, and too many horrible and long forgotten TV shows to list. In all my years of working on big budget Hollywood features only a couple films would I consider decent.

If it brings money and people to your town it’s a good thing. Those little towns need life blood now! We can’t allow those places to be absorbed by cesspools like Atlanta and Baltimore.

I grew up there also. I'm shocked that tiny little Tifton got a film credit as Los Angeles. The palm trees were clearly cgi.

Lmao my thoughts exactly

Almost correct, it was a BetaTape they needed to play in Cowboy Bebob.

Imagine Mike as Spike kicking the beta player, this could lead to a great deal of fanart

@@SSFhighcommandJOHN true, but it was close enough

My thoughts.... exactly...

Who would have thought him destroying a brand new gift Dodge Viper 10 minutes after receiving it would eventually become the least embarrassing moment of his life?

The way he says “Money Plane” will forever be burned into my brain.

Ramjam Reveiw

Boost this!

Yes please but I don’t think they even read comments on RU-vid or take any notice of requests.

The wrestler is definitely a good one.

Well they do read the comments.. But now you've brought it up, you can expect the re:view in approximately, 3 to 6 years.

Give us The Batman Half in the Bag you hack frauds! Or, Dune style, a minute endorsement on a Re:View of Tim Burton’s Batman.

That or they say "It's sal-right" then they do one after another Re:Views of the Tim-Verse Shows.

They'll save that for the end of the year recap, doing exactly as you said without the ads

@@empatheticrambo4890 I would actually prefer that ngl

10 seconds of Mike saying "it's good" and then 25 minutes of Interdimentiomal cable-style ads made by the RLM crew

All that was left was a feeling lol

It's Half of the Worst.

@@NiiRubra Best of the Bag of Half Worst.

Half the Bag of Bratwurst

It always was…

I'm not. I couldn't give a fuck about these things they're watching just to hate on.

Yeah that was a strange nitpick but I mean this is a film review channel so that's sort of to be expected

@@sialiasialis. The movie is clearly not trying to be a parody of movie dialogue wdym? This is just bruce willis messing the timing up, it’s a mistake and thats why they pointed it out here it’s not that strange

So, Ed Wood was a cinematic genius for only filming one take of Lobo accidentally bumping into camera equipment?

@@Icetea-2000 But it isn't as if though what he did is much different from regular conversation. I get _why_ Jay brought it up, but it isn't like it mattered. It was nitpicking. It's alright man, people can nitpick things. And I never mentioned anything about the film being a parody of movie dialogue. Why you said that as if I made that assertion is kinda weird but alright lol

Yeah this is how my family talks. It's not so much with each other rather than at each other... simultaneously..

The first half is a Worst of the Worst episode.

Whatcha talkin bout they ain’t costumes these guys & plinkett are real af

Bazinga!

The man sure knows how to craft a quality reference/joke much like how Rich crafts a quality set.

Maybe in a few months they'll do an NFT joke

Reminds me of alf and gex, on top of his game

@@Sorrelhas *a few years*

“Yea” - Bruce Willis

"Muh notes"

"Oh!" - Jay Bauman

i know you probably mean "the co-host" like not necessarily jay, but there's something sort of funny about referring to jay as "the co-host"

His movies will be a case study in the progression of dementia and will be shown in college psychology courses.

@@StreetPreacherr Get back in the ground, old man

Not really. They'll be forgotten like all those Cusack movies no one watched either.

There like 5 minutes of footage in every movie

The cinematic version of Everywhere at the End of Time.

Jay has been wearing an ear piece on these videos for decades. DECADES.

i think jay attribute that as editing choice instead of technical errors

I guess it's not technically an "error" if you fuck it up on purpose.

It was an error alright but it wasn't glaring

@@Bert_Mar It’s early onset Mike Stoklasa Syndrome

If he was having memory issues as far back as 2017, he's probably experiencing sunsetting by now. The mental decay is exponential. He's no longer on this earth mentally.

Shouldn't have killed all those hookers

So true. He’s great.

He's on one of the CW superhero shows now, so hopefully that saves him from having to that.

Luke Wilson said "half in the bag"!!

@@ecmelton8633 a CW show seems even worse than this. Those shows are terrible

Sorry about your trouble. What's the deal with the videos of people being taped to poles naked and beaten?

@@julesfalcone I think those are looters and/or sabateurs

@@jlu6172 almost like the country is being invaded and the justice system might be affected 🤔

@@permavegarunner7015 so you don't see it going on around you?

All the best, hope you and your loved ones get through this OK.

I thought the same.

I think if nothing else not forcing himself into elder abuse to provide a nestegg for his family is a good outcome, as sad as it is to see him retire.

@JackBauer137 they admitted on the 2nd video they had only realized it after they made the first video. I also looked up the articles, they’re from 2017, it wasn’t made official and it didn’t seem like a reputable site.

Lol no.

made them realize or gave them no choice but to

I wish someone would feed me lines, lines of cowecayyyeena

Goddammit Stephen...

Lines aside it does not diminish your abilities to act, just makes the essential communication very, very difficult. You can see it in Glass, but Shyamalan tailored the role for him. And I'd say that Willis still shines in it.

No, it was a plug against insects, what theory?!..

It's starting to hit close to home

He can hear Rich Evans' "Freight Train" approaching at a rapid clip.

Yeah, that threw me for a loop, too. It probably means we've rewatched that episode of BOTW too much.

Which response did you go with?

Flifight

Well it’s called “Champagne and Bullets” officially now too

They were 10 days early with this one...

just came here to post this too. Seems BW Aphasia caused by a tumor too 😢

@@123neiloborne8 it can be caused by stroke, dementia or head injury and is not a memory but a speaking/communication problem

Kevin "I'm gonna ruin your fandom" Smith owes him a very long winded apology that will just be him telling 1 story about himself for 2 hours. It'll be on DVD soon

Most senile* arc

I enjoyed the Sandler Sandbagging

@@PyrokineticFire1 Sandlerbagging

Lots of semen in this one, yep...

I thought the most seminal arc was in that Plinkett review when he broke his television.

What? Get out of here, he hired their services, they are getting all of this money for their children! I mean, they are fixing this VCR for _his_ children.

Every time I start to feel sorry for Mr. Plinkett, I remember that he's a murderer.

@@JLittleBass Wait, really?! I'm an occasional viewer, but I've watched a bunch of their videos. I never picked up on that.

@@Commanderziff Alleged murderer … alleged by himself sure, but alleged all the same

Actually, that would be Richie Rich, he's the owner of the company

My jaw was on the floor too, but that's just cuz I was lying on my stomach.

I had absolutely no interest in this series before this video, but now I'm thinking about watching it.

Lily James is very well known for playing 'English Rose'/'Girl next door' types [she was in 'Downton Abby' for example] so this was a real departure for her and showed she could pull it off.

...and technically right is the best kind of right.

It also seems like elder abuse.

Did not know this, thanks for the insight. Makes sense why'd so many of them are producing strait to redbox/streaming movies. Of course with so much talent of these elder actors not being used in big budget films while someone like Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Mamoa get role after role...movies are in a sad state.

Spalding Gray talked about this in one of his monologues. He made his living with writing and stage performances, but he needed to be in at least 1-2 movies a year to keep his health insurance -- which is why he pops up in a bunch of '90s shlock.

@Silver Smurfer With Alec Baldwin (the single greatest actor of all time) as its president, who could resist? :)

That’s really interesting, and important - glad for the context.

I think it was Jack who also mentioned this in a BotW episode with a Cannon film featuring Abe Vigoda, Lee Majors and other older actors. He speculated that the main reason they were doing the film might be to retain SAG benefits.

Yeah, and it's not even a molded plastic piece, it's straight up just a little scrap of scrunched up paper.

Disney already made a Jay action figure.

Jay's should be holding a tiny-tiny man skeleton.

@@FlyingcupNsourcer Disney also already made a Mike mug.

i would not trust the RLM audience with figures of these middle aged men, i would not trust what these people would do to the figures

Does that mean he will come a zombie?

Goddammit Stephen...

I don't think they get a bad rap. They're critical, and I appreciate that. When they love something, the passion shines through.

@@cyrollan I am willing to wager someone out there is editing RLM out of context to make them seem like jerks for fun and profit. Not that I am cynical of social media, but I don't know how to end that sentence.

I just want to know who decided being critical was a bad thing and why.

If it seemed like that is the image I have of them, that's not what I meant It's just that I've spoken to a lot of people that think the RLM guys are needlessly harsh in certain parts of their criticism, so it was nice of them to adress it in such a mature way All the proof I needed that the RLM guys are human beings came from the Shatner response video

im honestly waiting for some communist youtuber to take mikes comments on no one being forced to work out of context lol

Not really....a lot of the movies use volunteers and they also vastly underpay if they pay. Bruce WIllis takes most of the total budget for himself. They talked about this is the previous video. Pureflix does the same thing. xD

Part time!

Those poor bastards having to work with Bruce Willis. I bet he asked their camera for an autograph

NO EXCUSE!!!

Pureflix..... serious?...😣

I dunno, getting aphasia is definitely an old man move.

It makes me happy every time I see his crumpled paper knowing he took serious notes on terrible films while Jay is more just speaking from the mind.

Goddamnit.

Now take this with a HUGE grain of salt, as it comes totally unconfirmed, but in their last Willis video a guy claiming to be part of the production of one of the movies up in Canada talked about how there was massive issues with the production in which people actually walked off of the set angry over the conditions. If true then having Willis on board does not necessarily mean everyone is doing good and getting paid. Maybe some people are, but i do not think it would be a universal constant here. Not with all the moving parts in a movie. Such as the guy in the comment i think was talking about filming done in Canada with Bruce not being on set for the mass majority of that filming. At the end of the day movies are a business out to make money, and if they CAN screw over people for more profits they will.

@@__Andrew My comment is also predicated on Willis being part of the Actors Guild which I honestly couldn’t figure out easily. Could just be that he isn’t

He used to be. He's done a few cameos uncredited (oceans 12) because they didn't want to pay him union wages.

@@__Andrew Do US unions have any say in a production done by random people in Canada? Or even in Georgia, for that matter? I'm not familiar with the labor rules in US in general, let alone in movies, but somehow I was under the impression that the unions/guilds only have power in hollywood and in productions for "hollywood-adjacent" studios/companies/outlets. Does that even make sense?

SAG can’t force anyone to pay higher wages or anything like that, but they can (and do) prohibit SAG members from working with any production that doesn’t meet their requirements. So if you want any of the big-ticket actors, you have to follow their rules.

You never notice how natural two people talking over each other in a movie is until you see it. Like people wearing seatbelts on movies.

That's actually what Bruce was praised for with his performance in Die Hard.

Was he present though? He looks greenscreened in.

It's a stroke, without the genius.

Yeah.

I hope an emp doesn't come through there. An electro magnetic pulse, that is.

IN ENGLISH, FOUR-EYES!

Fun fact: Fred Durst has been directing for decades. Isnt THAT weird?

I don't think I've ever seen the real Fred Durst, only the MadTV parody version of him.

THE Ferd Turds?

They already did a whole episode about The Fanatic, and believe me- it came up.

Mr. Plinkett is fucking hilarious. He breaks down movies like no one else can.

Bring back Science Guy. .

Welcome

Welcome aboard

One of us, one of us...

LMAO!!! Same thing in my NY & NC high schools during the 90’s!

Hey I was one of those weirdos obssessed with Sonic Youth!

@@culturainutil861 so was I heh.

same thing here in Reykjavik, Iceland :)

Me..

Who's Bruce Willis?

I got the chills watching that part, my dad recently died due to alzheimer's... he kind of actually resembled bruce willis if you squint, but yeah that vacant look and the yeah's or mhmm's at "inappropriate" times to appear like he's understanding whats being said. wouldn't be surprised if bruce had it after seeing this :(

Seven years ago, a Cracked video series called The Spit Take showed an interview with Willis and his wife where Bruce seemed completely confused by TV and movies. When the interviewer brought up Miyazaki's anime movies and his wife called them "poetic," Willis said, "What about _Smilla's Sense of Snow?_ " which is a 1997 live-action thriller from Denmark. That was all Willis had to say on the subject. Clearly Willis just made the connection of "foreign" in his head and just tried to contribute to the conversation that way. So yeah, he's been fading for a while, now.

I would love to see Bruce Willis in a Len Kabasinski wig.

I turned on comments for this video just to make sure someone called out that hack fraud's BS.

What if the back-facing pages are where the French/Spanish instructions are located?

Boy, I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder!

Unsubscribed

Heroic comment. These monsters have to be held accountable!

They pimped him for these films. Disgraceful. Not as if they were hurting for money from before!

It seemed to me like he wanted to work but was getting taken advantage of by the filmmakers. From what I know he's on good terms with Demi and his family. But it still seems weird that an actor of his fame even needs the money. I guess he just wanted to keep working even when he probably shouldn't have.

There are a lot of these situations in music.

@@jasonscott526 Yeah tying this in with glam metal (Pam & Tommy), watch virtually any new footage of those old acts trying to do the tour circuit now, Motley Crue included. A modern day Bruce Willis cameo would be a blessing on those stages.

Sounds like a Mr. Plinkett off-Broadway one man show.

Needs more _12 Monkeys..._

@Voltijuice “12 monkeys” is right under the Darth Vader bust btw

The movie sounds like _The Protector_ with Tony Jaa if you removed all the action. That movie's basically Jaa going somewhere, saying "where's my elephant?" and then fighting everyone in the room, repeated for 90 minutes.

Adn that old man is called Plinkett.

@@SrSacaninha Because the original Mike and Jay finally fixed Plinkett's VCR! When they reference the original RLM plotline the whole theater will stand up and start clapping!

X was a lot of fun. I was actually hoping it would be even raunchier, but it was still a good sleazy time.

I'd love to hear Jay's thoughts on it!

I cannot WAIT to see that!! It looks like so much fun, total date night movie

Very welcome!

The comic strip is incredible

You make it sound like they did something wrong…. They literally called out the crap Willis was churning out and no malice at all…
