From Kevin Smith's MySpace blog:
"'Mortal Thoughts', 'Billy Bathgate', 'Pulp Fiction', 'Nobody's Fool', '12 Monkeys', 'Armageddon', 'The Fifth Element', 'The Sixth Sense', 'Unbreakable' -- I'd follow Willis' career anywhere (even to 'Hudson Hawk').
Last year, I was beside myself when they released 'The New Twilight Zone' on DVD, because it meant I could finally re-watch the Wes Craven directed segment entitled 'Shatterday' -- in which Bruce Willis, as Peter Jay Novins, accidentally dials his home phone number and hears an alternate version of himself answer.
This past summer, while in Cannes with 'Clerks II', I watched the daily festival coverage in French just to see the man arrive on the red carpet for the 'Over the Hedge' screening."

"So last week, after I wrapped the 'Manchild' pilot (which went phenomenally), the very next morning, I reported to work on a flick that'd reveal a heretofore unrealized dream I'd unwittingly harbored since I first watched David Addison limbo in the Moonlighting Detective Agency offices, twenty years prior...Click here for the full (expletive-filled, very Kevin Smith-esque) blog entry. And go ahead, request him as a friend -- even people with 145,257 MySpace buddies need more!
For five days, I acted opposite Bruce Willis in this summer's 'Live Free or Die Hard.'"
