Michael Bay Responds to Bruce Willis Comments

From moviesonline, I wasnt gonna touch this one but its getting to good not to. A little while ago AICN posted a bit which was from Bruce Willis on their site. Basicaly its Bruce talking about Michael Bay. Quote:

"I would rather eat a live baby in front of my grandma than have Michael Bay direct a DIE HARD movie. I would rather go hunting with Dick Cheney than let that car engine in a human skin leave his satanic fingerprints on John McClane. In fact, this new PG-13 thing is the only part of ruining modern action movies that Michael Bay is not personally responsible for. The rest of it is all him. Don’t even fucking say those words in the same sentence, you’re only gonna give them ideas for part 5.It’s like saying Candyman in front of a mirror, that motherfucker will show up and snort John McClane’s soul right in front of you and then piss it out on your shoes, wrote Willis. "Would have ruined DH4. Few people will work with him now, and I know I will never work with him again.

Now there is alot of question as to whehter or not it even was Bruce Willis but it certainly did get Michael Bays attention and he has responded on his blog.

Hard to believe it really is Bruce saying that stuff on AICN. I loved working with Bruce. He gave me a big hug one month ago at the GM party and we talked for 20 minutes. We even talked about working together again! I mean it would be sad if he felt this way - he's never one to hide his feelings - I say sad, in that he wouldn't be man enough to say it to my face. But truly sad that such a big time actor would have to hide on a little talk back section. So I really don't believe this story.I find it also totally odd that my agents at William Morris got the call from Bruce's people to inquire if I would like to helm Die Hard 4, but I was already on Transformers.Michael
I have no idea whether it was really Bruce Willis or not, but the whole thing is getting kinda odd.

Well, as much as I like the idea of Bruce Willis going off like that, it does make sense that it wasn't him. It seems to me that raw breaches of industry diplomacy among the big boys are pretty rare.

The whole "man enough to say it to my face" and "hiding on a talkback site" rings a bit false, though. Isn't he saying he'd rather this was said with no media coverage? Who's the whimp then?
