The Die Hard S & M Man

Maybe Emma slapped Bruce silly with love but critics seem to have their own style of S & M action on the happy actor.

“Are you embarrassed for him?”, asked Jane Velez-Mitchell of Showbiz Tonight about the upcoming W Magazine spread with Bruce Willis and his hot new wife, Emma Heming.

The CNN Showbiz Tonight panel clearly have no concept of what eroticism’s dark side is, means, looks like or attempts to offer its audience or participators.  The same applies to the concept of good photography.  Most sad, the discussion in the video is the kind of bolonga that the average American is influenced by.  It is clearly no wonder that sex is shameful, age is embarrassing and anything a little kinky is perverse. 

The video below (which unfortunately I can’t embed) has many stupid statements by three very uninformed morons but what struck me most was the comment by Ben Widdicombe, a celebrity editor at Stylelist.com:  Bruce is “way too old to be doing this.”  (Please notice Widdicombe’s receding hairline as he attempts to poke fun onto a hotter looking guy than himself.  I sense a tinge of locker-room jealousy.)   Too old to be doing what?!   Exploring life, love and sexuality?  Participating in what must have been one very interesting photo shoot with his wife? Showing of his 54 y/o body, which by the way is pretty impressive?

This S & M photo spread, styling and photography wise is phenomenal. 

Sad that provocative photography in its most excellent creative form gets thrown into the funny farm of useless opinions by people who clearly fear a taste of eroticism.  They don’t get it.  They never will.  This video clip is shameful and illustrates the insults close minded people throw out when something a little provocative comes their way: “These pictures speak loudly and they’re saying: In. Your. Face.”

Yep.  That’s right.  Boo!
