Where did all the badasses go?

[Weirdy]

for some reason this thread reminded me of this old ass song

 

"Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?" by Paula Cole

 

Oh you get me ready in your 56 Chevy

Why don't we go sit down in the shade

Take shelter on my front porch

The dandy lion sun scorch,

Would you like a glass of cold lemonade

I will do laundry if you pay all the bills

 

CHORUS:

 

Where is my John Wayne

Where is my Prairie Son

Where is my happy ending

Where have all the cowboys gone

 

Why don't you stay the evening

Kick back and watch the TV

And I'll fix a little something to eat

Oh I know your back hurts from working on the tractor

How do you take your coffee my sweet

I will raise the children if you pay all the bills

 

Chorus

 

Where is my John Wayne

Where is my Prairie Son

Where is my happy ending

Where have all the cowboys gone

 

I am wearing my new dress tonight

But you don't, but you don't even notice me

Say goodbyes

Say goodbyes

Say goodbyes

 

We finally sold the Chevy

When we had another baby

And you took the job in Tennessee

You made friends at the farm

And you joined them at the bar

Almost every single day of the week

I will wash the dishes while you go have a beer

 

Chorus

 

Where is my John Wayne

Where is my Prairie Son

Where is my happy ending

Where have all the cowboys gone

 

Where is my Marlboro man

Where is his shiny gun

Where is my lonely ranger

Where have all the cowboys gone

Where have all the cowboys gone

Where have all the cowboys gone

Yippee yo, yippee yeah

Kurt Russel needs to come back and be Snake Pliskin

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

We need another Escape movie PERIOD

[Gryph]

Vin Diesel, Wesley Snipes, Ice Cube, Jason Statham and a few others I can't remember are the closest to being badasses in Hollywood right now. But yes, the "real" badasses have disappeared.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Vin Diesel is a bumbling idiot with no charisma. XXX was the most forced "coolness" I've ever seen a movie.

 

But I agree with Kurt Russel. I want more Escape movies and more stuff like Big Trouble in Little China.

 

Oh yeah, I don't know how I could forget him but I forgot one ultimate cool dude mainly from our time...BRUCE CAMPBELL!

Bruce Campbell rules on so many levels. And Mr. G, I was talking about overall badassness (is that even a word?), regardless of whether is was forced or not (or fake).

[L.S.D]

Who is Bruce Campbell?

 

Doesn't ring a bell

If you've ever seen Dark Man. He's at the end of the movie. Evil Dead I, II, and II he was Ash. If you've ever seen Xena or Hurculeseseses, he was uh, Jack. He also was in Spiderman I and II, playing a cameo role. He was the usher in Spiderman 2.

[L.S.D]

Ok, Ash.......from Evil Dead......

 

Hardly the badass image......

[Gryph]

Ok, Ash.......from Evil Dead......

 

Hardly the badass image......

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

You are wrong. Dead wrong.

[L.S.D]

Man, I can't accept the image of Bruce Campbell as badass when he get his eyes poked by his Mini-me

Vin Diesel is a bumbling idiot with no charisma. XXX was the most forced "coolness" I've ever seen a movie.

 

I actually like Vin Diesel, though I hated XXX. Even though it didn't get very good ratings with the critics, I liked Chronicles of Riddick.

 

But back to the topic... what about Jet Li?
