    That new James Bond guy is pretty cool. I liked Casino Royale way better than the very newest one though. I forgot the name of this last one but it's a dumb sounding name to me. Oh yea, Quantum of Solace. Sounds more like a video game.

    When I was little it was Stallone and Bruce Lee. Then it was Van Damme.

    Mainly now though I watch for the movie's merits and not for actors.

    First Blood still kicks ass every time I see it! Hard to say but maybe it's my favorite action movie and possibly favorite character. I was real small when that came out but the more I see older movies including the ones before I was born the more I agree they made better shit back then with less technology. Not that some things good don't come out now once in a while but overall I think it's true. To me the newer action guys generally don't come close to the guys that were around before. Even looking at old "professional" wrestling those characters were way better. Iron Sheik, Superfly Jimmy, King Kong Bundy, Randy Savage, Ultimate Warrior, etc., way more charisma and enduring personalities than most of what they've got now. Not that I watch WWE. I think it kills brain cells but I was crazy about it before. I can barely remember Hulk Hogan body slamming Andre the Giant but I remember being excited. Same probably goes for music. Okay, I'm going on an off topic rant sorry!

    Well, since you excluded The Norris, I'll go with Jason Statham (although I wish Vinnie Jones would get more work).

    Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.
