A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Damn, I guess I better see the Limey.
Oh my g*d, yes. I have it if you want to borrow it.

Sarah Connor in T2.
The pullups alone!
But then then the whole escape scene with those biceps. Yeow.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Who's your cinematic badass? And what's their most badass scene?
The king cobra I'm currently watching on Animal Planet. They eat other snakes. It's bitten a python, which then constricts the crap out of him (not literally). It hangs on, trusting that its venom will dispatch the python before it suffocates.
A few dozen Asian giant hornets taking out an entire bee's nest also qualifies.

Of course, now I'm watching SYTYCD and I've gone to a Pulp Fiction place.
ETA: Opening dance is to "Comanche" by The Revels.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
This question is partly motivated by just watching Clive Owen in Shoot 'Em Up.
Hee. He is pretty damn badass.
Christian Bale in Equilibrium.
Milla Jovovich in The Fifth Element.

Michael Ironside in pretty much anything.
It wasn't a movie, and it was only five minutes long, but his ultimate badass performance would have to be Batman.

I had to IMDb to see what you meant. I'm not there yet. Hee, that sounds...interesting.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Billytea, bringing the badass hornets!
I really appreciated the screenplay in Shoot 'Em Up. As much as Quentin Tarantino sits around thinking about Cool Death Scenes, this really had some thought behind What Would Look Cool.
Incidentally, best Kill Shot in a movie is still from Branded to Kill by Seijuin Suzuki. (A shot stolen by Jim Jarmusch, incidentally.)

It was full of ridiculous action scenes, each more ludicrous than the next, which was impressive given how crazy it starts out. And it even sort of had a plot!
I discovered that the director also did Monster Man, this terrible horror-comedy I caught on SciFi one night.
