Actually, I started making a collage, but really, I think this picture does him just as much justice as anything would.  |

We should add Malcom Reynolds from Serenity.  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_ReynoldsI'm sure someone can second my nomination? He's basically Han Solo, who is featured in a movie more like Star Wars than the recent prequels. Basically, instead of making the stuffy and dull Jedi as the main cast, they put Han Solo in charge; I can't say I didn't like the result. A natural leader who makes realistic decisions, is fiercely independent and loyal to his crew, matched with a sharp wit and fast reflexes makes him a perfect candidate I believe. |

I agree. I say we add him.
Also, I'm glad you finally got to see Serenity. What did you think of it overall?
The space battle at the end. You KNOW you loved that.

Serenity?
Sounds like a candidate for The Mighty List of LAME.

Serenity? Sounds like a candidate for The Mighty List of LAME. Heh, have you ever seen it? Anyway, as far as what I thought... I heard only good things, and had high expectations. As much as I didn't want to like it... it was freaking awesome. |

I'll admit that I am judging it out of ignorance... but look at the cast!
They look like a soap opera for the sci-fi D&D crowd.

Yeah, I always thought they were making him a lot like Han Solo. But he turned out to be pretty cool in the movie. I liked the movie too. The movie was probably one of the best sci-fi film in years. The story was simply awesome.

While Quentin makes badass movies, his face certaintly isn't badass, it's just ass. Why does his face disgrace this place?

I nominate John Ryder from The Hitcher.  John Ryder, played by Rutger Hauer (one of the ultimate badasses of cinema), is a psychopath with no identity who travels across the desert hitching rides with people and murdering them until he finds one that's ballsy enough to try and stop him. This finally happens when he hitches a ride with Jim Halsey (the main character), who manages to push him out of the car and get away. Unfortunately, Jim makes the mistake of not hitting reverse and running over the bastard ten times over. The truly badass thing about John Ryder is the determination with which he persues his victim. He follows him across the freaking desert, mercilessly killing everyone who gets in his way, and generally making the poor schmuck's life a living hell. He kills his way through an entire police station, slaughters a family or two, and even guns down a helicopter with a magnum, all in pursuit of the protagonist. He continues the horrendous bloodbath until the main character finally goes apesh*t crazy and fights back. John Ryder eventually gets wasted of course, but not before wreaking a lifetime supply of carnage in the course of one day.  "You wanna know what happens to an eyeball when it's been punctured? Do you have any idea how much blood jets out of a guys neck when his throat's been slit?" |
