Now, I’ve had some interesting IM conversations before, but this has to be one of the best. So, I’m sharing it with you, the blogosphere. I’d love to hear you sound off!!
Talking about movies, you always get down to the question of who’s the biggest Badass. Just what does it take to be crowned The Biggest Badass On Screen? So many factors, so many reasons, so many badasses to choose from.
We all love the tale of a good badass. After all girls dig the bad boy. The more leather, the bigger the bike, the more powerful the firepower, the quicker the wit… it drives a girl nuts. Men know this, so they want to become the next badass in town.
In Hollywood, there is room for only one badass. And here is your chance to name him!
The rules??
1. Please explain. It makes it more interesting
2. Can be current, can be of all time, can be what you want.
3. Can sure be a chic if you think one is out there. Tons of ballsy chicks on the silver screen.
4. Multiple entries? Sure!
5. Baddass Death Match? Bring it on! (But only with the hot cheerleaders to entertain while our badasses are regrouping.)
6. So yeah… anything goes!
Here’s what started it all. Somoene told me Robert Mitchum is the all time biggest badass around. Of course this led me to google. Does anyone agree? I began asking my IM contacts. One person popped up with Al Pacino immediately. OK, Al Pacino is pretty badass at times. Another said that currently it is Christian Bale, but physically of all time it’s Bruce Lee, and that Joe Pesci nails badass right between the ‘tude.
Who’s your badass?

As far as badass’ go…I don’t think you can beat Matt Damon and Jen Garner…
My reasoning…they do all their own training and most of their own stunts…so that means they can kick some ass in real life. (not just the phony staged choreographed stuffs)

She is a definite badass. Kudos to you for being the first to name a girl badass! Let’s face it, there’s something about a chic badass. I’d also like to put up Jessica Alba. I know she’s just silly in the Fantastic 4 but she was a terror in Dark Angel. Another great female badass is Sarah Connor from Terminator. What they did to Linda Hamilton for the second movie… woah.
I think it is awesome that Garner does her own stunts and training. That is awesome. I didn’t realize Matt Damon did as well. He just went up in my books. I enjoy seeing him… sometimes… sometimes not. I’ll be watching with new eyes now!

I love the Jessica Alba of Dark Angel…though I’m not sure how much of that was her and how much was staged…hrmmm

I really don’t know. But I have season 1 on DVD… I wonder if there’s special features that might say. Unfortunately now they aren’t giving her what she could truly handle. Her role in FF sux. I know, I know… going invisible is so lame compared with going up in flames but come on. Let her get her hands dirty. She rocked in Dark Angel. 1. Leather 2. Bike 3. Superhuman genetically engineered abilities How do you not totally love it?

There you go! I need to get Season 2. *SIGH* So many DVDs.. not enough cash.
But I have just finally finished the Great DVD Organize of 2008. Woot! 830ish DVDs alphabetized, spreadsheeted, and put away into 4 giant binders. And I need a 5th one. ROFL.

You sure you want that? I’m sort of nervous about these powers that Gary mentioned. I’ll see what favours I can pull in! I need to go finish voting myself!!!

I’m not afraid of the powers, but I guess I could have saved it for a week when I was in trouble. It’s just… I’ve never made 4th before, and it’s been a goal of mine since week 1.

Either way. It’s your call, ma’am. ๐ I’ve got your back still if you’re ever in trouble.
