Who's going to be bad guy and who's the good guy? Dolp Lundgren is still around? wonder if he's going to get his arse kicked like usual or he's finally get to do the arse kicking. I'm surprise Jean Claude VanDam is not on the list as is Steven Seagal. Maybe Seagal is too busy playing lawman.

I wonder why "man things" are always about gross violence and mindless brutality. To me, "man things" are about courage, restraint and wisdom.

To be any "man-er" than JB would be psychosis, though I do really enjoy it when some macho jerk annoys Ziva and gets his plow cleaned.

Because we are men. Men by definition are grown up boys. We will always like things blowing up. We will always like to see a good fight, especially if there is an under dog and he wins. We will always like to see boobs, and we will always secretly think we are good enough to play professional sports, if we had the same gear as those over paid bozos we see on TV.

Ziva is definitely my favorite on that show. Cleaning the odd plow and butchering American idiom. I love her knife work.

I am going to recommend a movie that I liked. I added it to my Netflix queue kind of as a filler because I was runing out of choices that I hadn't already seen. The favorible member reviews convince me to take chance. I figured at worst I would shut if off after an hour or so.

The movie is "The Kingdom" and it starts with gross violence and mindless brutality but has large helpings of courage, restraint and wisdom. If you can get past the beginnning, you might like it.

Nothing like a good realistic Hollywood shoot?em up!

I still crack up every time I think about ol? Dolph. I was walking by a theater where there was a movie playing with him in it in the mid 90?s that had this poster out front:

Looks like he really was dealt a ?Deadly (to him) Hand?. Apparently familiarity with an M-16 isn?t one of his strong points. See the magazines and the M-16 below?

Notice the one in the gun. It?s been inserted freaking UPSIDE DOWN! JUST LIKE the one that Dolph is holding in his poster! He probably beat all the bad guys because they cracked up when they saw him coming like that ?..

1. Shiny things
2. Things on fire
3. Things about to explode
4. Boobs

That is about all we are hard wired to pay attention to, til the wife gets us trained like she wants us.

I'm going to design a bass boat with tons of flake in the paint, shaped like a giant boob that shoots flames out the back and fires off gigantic fireworks into the air when you land a fish. I'm gonna be filthy rich.

I am all over this movie. I love action movies. Just saw Preditors. Great flick. It was a "man moment".

Re: Holy Action Film!!!!

The trailer looks good. However, I'll bet it ends up not all that great.

Awesome movie. I will add "The Condemned" with Stone Cold Steve Austin.

I always like to see how badly Bruce Willis can get beat up before he finally wins the day.
