oh no, its far simpler than that - i’m full of shit.

The military’s a really big place. Most of us learned to shoot at human shaped targets once or twice a year, but never fired a shot in anger. There are an awful lot of supply clerks and truck drivers out there who mostly just kept their heads down.

Yeah, but was Kylo Ren actually a badass? Maybe in real life, but in the movies he seemed soft and whiney. He couldn’t even defeat the chick in a light saber fight when it was her first time using one.

Serving in the military doesn’t necessarily equal “bad ass.”

Yeah, but wasn’t the list badasses in real life who played badasses in films? Mel Brooks (although a real life badass, hasn’t portrayed a badass to my knowledge).

R. Lee Ermey - Actual badass, who was so badass, that Kubrick gave him the Drill Sergeant role in Full Metal Jacket after Ermey spent ten minutes demonstrating how a drill sergeant actually treated soldiers.

Kylo Ren is a marine.

Another day (hour?) another poorly researched article by Hamilton Nolan. Wish this ritual had stayed at Gawker so I could just ignore them. Thanks a lot, Peter Thiel.

Do you think Dolph Lundgren plays badasses in movies?

Jon Lovitz may not play many badasses in film, but he did slam Andy Dick’s face into a bar for talking shit about Phil Hartman’s death. So that’s cool.

Fun fact: Daniel Day-Lewis lived off the grid as a badass for six years to convincingly portray an ageing badass for the twilight of his acting career.

If you have read any of the stories about him and what he’s gone through his entire life, you’ll see that he’s a man who has nothing left to lose, and that makes him dangerous

Marky Mark only committed hate crimes. Not that badass.

Mr. T served in the Army.

Look, man—The Rock played football at Miami when it was actually still “The U”. That’s good enough for me

Joe Camel. In real life, he’s killed millions.

According to Danny Trejo himself, the one person in Hollywood that scares him is John Cusak.

Jesus Christ, you goon. I love you. I hope Terry Crews pulls out your spine.
