Uh, correct me if I'm wrong, but regardless of whether Bear carries his own gear, both Les and Bear have support crews prepared to save thier asses if either one decides they need to call out for help. Which one is more 'real' is only a matter of degrees. And if showing just how lonely, boring, and uneventful 'living…

Rock Hudson? The name alone is ultra bad-assery. James Dean for bad ass bisexuals.

If Cartoons Count
Then I'll say Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop. He was relentless during the final battle woth Vicious.

Not to be a pill, but that was from Knocked Up, not 40 Year Old Virgin, but Eric Bana in Munich was pretty bad-ass.

Theres just one thing that I dont understand, that thing is every motherfucking word you just said.

Yes! Absolutely Ripley, more bad-ass than most men, let alone women. Yeah, and theres no comparisson between killing ninjas and killing acid-blood dripping aliens. Sorry, i and 1.

Fuck you, Les Stroud, for hijacking a perfectly good Bruce Campbell thread. Yeah, Bear has a camera crew, but your show was fucking boring as hell! Like anyone really want to watch you play your fucking harmonica by the fire. Go make your own damn post!

Lee Marvin, Tom Waits, and Jim Jarmusch

Uh, Wayne Brady bitches?

de rigueur indeed!

Clapton aint so blinkered, his just pissed off that the West Indians are turning Britain into a black colony!

Aw, so cute yet so pathetic.

I think Landis would be great. He obviously has a real fondness for this kind of material; a combination of 1950s Americana and the horror genre. I think I remember an interview where he said EC was an influence on 'American Werewolf'. Besides, Gaines is a really interesting character, and I'm game to see any biopic…

I always preferred the Two-Fisted Tales and Front Line Combat, because Kurtzman was a master at visual narration.

Remember that they used to fit a lot of stories in a single issue back in the day.

Ten-Cent Plague
Hajdu does a great job placing EC at an important point in American history, as parents and moral leaders began to panic that the youth were moving away from their middle-class cultural values, during a time of seriously increased Cold War fears over whether the next generation would be as able to…

I cant wait to see all my old high school buddies; Pottsy, Ralph Mouth, the Fonz.

REAL fact- The real Chef 'Boyardee' changed the spelling of his name from Boiardi so it would be easier for Anglos to pronounce.

Yeah, National Geographic is still pretty good. They're getting close to going overboard with all the cute dog programing, but they still have mostly a lot of really fascinating docs, and great series like 'Taboo' and 'Locked Up Abroad', and some really good nature shows. NG has a suitably broad focus that they can…

Yeah the "Hitler Channel" was like 10 years ago. There is virtually nothing close to history on the History Channel, not even war. Long gone are constant WWII docs, now its just Nostradamus, UFOs, searching for "monsters", Bible codes, "Ancient Astronauts", and a smattering of reality shows about rednecks. Its really…
