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.
Bronson as Harmonica in the opening scene of Once Upon A Time In The West brings a trainload of iconic badassery, too.
Pun intended I assume?
That movie has a whole slew of iconic badass picture poses.
Lee Marvin in Point Blank.
Very true. Awesome flick. I saw this as part of my moving-to-SF series and still remember suggesting we watch it and my housemate thinking I meant Point Break. (Which is awesome for other reasons.)
Woah.
After 150 years, you’re bound to be a little stiff.
Bwah! That is pretty uncanny, though. The first two pictures alone are amazing.
My favorite bad ass is Uma Thurman as The Bride. (with huge props to Zoe Bell). I'd pick House of Blue Leaves as the most bad ass scene.
Biggest badass, Statham in The Transporter is one. But my fave would be Willis in Die Hard. If we include TV, Al Swearingen on Deadwood.
Keanu Reeves, explained.
If anyone has Alan Ball's e-mail address, send him this link now.
Jessica,
that link rocks my world. I am laughing and laughing and laughing.
Badass? Either Ripley from Aliens (the iconic loader scene!) or Bill Paxton's character in Near Dark, during the roadhouse massacre.
Bill Paxton's character in Near Dark, during the roadhouse massacre.
Oh HELL yeah!
"Finger lickin' good!"
"I hate it when they ain't been shaved!"
And decidedly NOT his character from Aliens.
