cinemablend.com — Willis says: I like so much more making fun of it, taking the piss out of it, and not making it a big deal, and not making the fact that I've acted in a lot of movies a big deal. It's all illusion and it's all BS and it's just a great job for me to have, but everything else you can set on fire.

Some of you younguns' weren't around when the first Die Hard came out, so gather around and let grandpa tell ya a little story:In the late 80's, the action movie genre was packed with flicks that took themselves way, way too seriously with completely incredible heroes that nobody could believe and amazing stunts which were played off as just another day's work. This is the era when Arnold Schwarzenegger reigned with crap like Commando and similar fare.When Die Hard came out, all my friends and I really enjoyed it because Willis made that main character so human. We'd never seen a movie like it before where the hero reacted like we would in unbelievable and violent situations: Terror, apprehension, anxiety, sarcasm. Some of the best scenes of the original movie (which have been borrowed or stolen in dozens of movies since) were when something spectacular would happen and he'd look scared to death or register utter shock. John Mclane was a tough guy, but he was so human that you couldn't help love the guy and stick with him through the whole movie. I'm not the hugest fan of the sequels (though they're far from the worst thing I've ever seen), but Willis' smirking-but-vulnerable guy who doesn't want to volunteer, but does what needs doing is a great character and I'll take a guy like that even in a so-so movie over a stone-faced macho bag of sand who can't make me laugh.Now get off my lawn.

Watch the video. I think he means he likes roles that make fun of movies like die hard (Cop Out), more then he likes being John McClane.

LOL, you're trying too hard to troll. Your analogy is terrible and I don't think you even read your comment carefully.
