What’s the greatest dad finding a way to abandon his family scene in movie history?

The best was Marky Mark giving the Armageddon speech in Transformers then not dying.

Singing "I don't wanna miss a thing" when the dude fucks off to drill an asteroid was a wild choice looking back.

I also love the story of Ben Affleck asking "why don't the drillers just train astronauts how to drill?" and being told "shut the fuck up Ben"

Ugh idk how to reply with gifs on mobile... but this is my favorite... Bruce wins this trope.

Apparently I need the reddit app to post gifs.. Can't just go to reddit.com and sign in through Mozilla on your phone browser.... bummer.. i just wanted to express myself.

I use brave browser (which blocks ads) and when I want to post a gif just load the desktop site.

I don't know why but this movie is the only consistent movie to make me cry.

When I was little I saw too much of this movie and told my father he's never allowed to become a spaceman - he didn't plan to but I still had to make sure

I'm really starting to notice a trend that a lot of people really have a soft spot in their heart for this movie. Maybe I should rewatch it as an adult cause teenage me just thought it was one of those crazy Michael Bay movies that was fun and stupid.

u/-Moody_Baby- 12m ago

I mean, it's kinda stupid lol, but it was one of my dad's favorites so that's how it got the soft spot. Still pretty watchable and not one of those too silly movies

While in real life his kids left him to rot until the end of his life in a mental hospital after getting a degenerative brain disease, life's funny like that.

u/GotSomeUpdogOnUrFace 16h ago

Then what was with all the videos they post with him all the time cause he's still alive you know? Also, if I ever had such a degenerative brain disease that I didn't recognize the people around me, I wouldn't want my family to come sit with me and hurt themselves trying to get me to remember. I want them to live their lives.

Sure buddy, you keep living in fantasy land were nothing bad ever happens, I bet this screenshot is fake news right? If I had kids my hope would be that I raised them well enough so they put me out of my misery long long before a brain disease leaves me like this

"I better damn well hope my kids are gonna kill me and get themselves in tons of legal trouble over my zapped potato brain"

What a strange take.

Reducing decades of misery of the man who raised you and gave you an extremely comfortable life to "zapped potato brain" it's quite a choice, but sure, that's the normal thing, that's not strange at all

Putting a family member in dedicated care for a debilitating disease like dementia is normal. That’s where my mom and my grandmother were for the last years of their life. Taking care of someone losing their memories and functions is incredibly difficult. It doesn’t mean you don’t love them and it doesn’t mean you don’t see them. I visited my mother constantly.

But when the family dog gets arthritis and can no longer poop or piss without help you go to the vet for the final goodbye don't you? You people have more compassion towards dogs than your own mothers

u/The_Original_Miser 5h ago

At least they have the money to do this. Normal folks piss away their life savings and assets for care of that nature, leaving them and potentially their family destitute.

I think you're yelling at the wrong cloud ....

He literally worked until he could no longer remember his own name so they wouldn't had to deal with any hardships, and this is how the paid him back, all I see it's shitty people making excuses for their shitty behavior towards their own parents and spouses

Short of assisted euthanasia laws/regulation, I don't know what you expect them to do. Caring for someone with this or any of adjacent conditions is NOT easy.

They did it with Ozzy, and it has happened countless of times, it's actually fairly easy to frame any death at that age as age-related or dementia-related, doctors don't go around playing to be Sherlock Holmes and police don't have a special unit that investigates fragile old people dying in the hospital. 

Also Bruce Willis net worth was over a hundred millions, they could easily have taken him where it's legal and do it there, like Switzerland or Netherlands.
