Bio: A failure on almost every level, I now spend my daylight hours in an office, trying to save the planet by writing 100s of e-mails; whilst at other times I listen to music, watch DVDs and go to punk gigs, to try and hide the fact that I’ve got no friends. When I'm not busy doing nothing, I make up (and continually update with great and exciting news) fictitious people on Facebook, just so I can then Friend them and it looks like I hang out with the coolest people on the planet. I also keep a blog somewhere that I use to moan about things a lot. I live in a place I call Cactus World. Cactus World is an ill thought-out but complex, pan-dimensional concept, fuelled by a mixture of decent cider, punk and ska music, which encapsulates the sneaking suspicion that basically I'm living as an observer of life rather than a participant in it.
Recent Rankings
70 Man on Fire (2004) - May 23, 2012
Mini-Review: Top badass moment? When you’ve lost faith in humanity and set yourself on a path of self-destruction (so it says on the DVD’s sleeve), finding redemption has to be considered badass. So it involves torturing, killing and generally doing some pretty unpleasant things to people, but they were ’the bad guys’ so they probably deserved it, right? If only real life was that simple. 0 cats and 0 decapitations.
90 Cruel Intentions (1999) - May 21, 2012
Mini-Review: Top badass moment? Sarah Michelle Gellar gets to be the sexy-bad-bitch-from-hell that Buffy could have become if she’d not have been a prime-time TV character; except without all the fighting. Her every word in this film is badass and not ‘good’ baddass either. However, I’m almost sorry she got her comeuppance in the end. What a bad person! 0 cats and 0 decapitations.
60 Le dernier des fous (2006) - May 16, 2012
Mini-Review: Top badass moment? Any 10-year-old who singlehandedly takes on responsibility for sorting out his family's problems, is badass in action; okay, so his solution was a little unorthodox, but it probably worked. 1 cat and 0 decapitations. The cat, a big ginger and white one, had a speaking part and appeared in five scenes. Sadly it’s last one involved it being run over and then put into a freezer. It did look suspiciously like it'd been drugged for this scene too, which didn’t impress me one bit.
80 Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001) - May 14, 2012
Mini-Review: Top badass moment? The band’s performance of Exquisite Corpse. 90 seconds of musical anger. 0 cats and 0 decapitations.
70 Thunderbirds (2004) - May 12, 2012
Mini-Review: Top badass moment? Nearly 40 years after the original TV series, seeing Thunderbirds 1 and 2 in action again in the opening scenes is most definitely badass. 0 cats and 0 decapitations.
90 Quid Pro Quo (2008) - May 09, 2012
Mini-Review: Top badass moment? It has to be Isaac’s ‘magic shoes’. Everyone needs a pair of those sometimes. I hope they do a vegan version. 0 cats and 0 decapitations.
80 Vacancy (2007) - May 07, 2012
Mini-Review: Top badass moment? When you’re being chased by thugs making a snuff movie, starring you, pretty well any excuse you use to turn the role down is going to be badass. They’re plenty of examples here, but when a director wants you it’s pretty hard to get across that “no” means no. 0 cats and 0 decapitations.
70 The Incredibles (2004) - May 06, 2012
Mini-Review: Top badass moment? Dude, it’s a film about a family of superheroes. Do I have to do everything for you? 0 cats and 0 decapitations.
70 Attack the Block (2011) - Apr 24, 2012
Mini-Review: Top badass moment? When you're dealing with alien scum, there's no shortage of badass moments. However, I'm selecting tiny-tot tearaways Probs and Mayhem and their Super Soaker filled with petrol. You grow up fast in south London. Streetwise nine-year-olds are badass; and probably really annoying too if you live near any. 0 cats and 1 decapitation. (Well I think there was one; that crash helmet certainly went flying across the room and I think it probably still had a head inside it.)
50 Ferocious Planet (2011) - Apr 24, 2012
Mini-Review: Top badass moment? In a film filled with idiots, genuine badass moments were hard to come by. However, Dr Karen Fast gets to deliver the best line, “Don’t, poke, the alien.” This is good advice at any time and good advice is often badass. 0 cats and 0 decapitations.
