The Last Boy Scout

A guilty pleasure for most, but since I have no shame, a true classic in my book. Actually this is my depression movie. Whenever I feel low, I watch this because it perfectly illustrates the capabilities of my antagonism towards the world. Willis shines as a low life private detective with a great humor and perfect idea of life to those who hate it: "Water's wet, sky's blue, women have secrets, who gives a fuck?" and "Yea, I believe in love. I believe in cancer." or his self reflection mirror speech, "Nobody likes you. Everybody hates you. You're going to lose. Smile you fuck." The movie is nothing more than a B movie but so true to its antagonism and low viewpoint of life that a final scene of Willis calling his wife a lying bitch is actually romantic. Bruce Willis takes the basics of his performance in Die Hard and exploits it here. I don't mind. Damon Wayans is also surprisngly funny. In the history of movies that sums up someone's humor, Last Boy Scout sums up mine. Shows how typical I am.
