A Penny for your Thoughts


I just finished watching a full length feature film starring Mr. Brad Pitt. The film is called Troy and in it, Brad plays Achilles, the greatest warrior that ever lived. I think it's fair to say he was in all respects: a bad ass. This got me thinking about all of the other movies he has been in and how he is a bad ass in most of them. I thought I'd ask you, the loyal reader, in this time of political contest, to cast your vote for

You Decide 2008: Brad Pitt's Most Bad Ass Role.

To cast your vote, simply post a comment in which you have written the name of the character he plays and the name of the film. To jump start your thinker, here are a few examples:

Achilles in Troy
Rusty in the Ocean's series
Tyler Durden in Fight Club
John Smith in Mr. and Mrs. Smith
Tristan Ludlow in Legends of the Fall

Of course, you're welcome to write in your own vote. Let's not let this one go to the superdelegates people. Let your voice be heard.

Tristan.........the heavy supporting actors enhanced his character and caused one to actually feel he was justified for his ba ness.

Tyler Durden - Fight Club...definitely a BA. We got to study this movie in my lit class in college. Never paid much attention to the movie before...huge fan after!

Rusty - without a doubt. The Oceans movies are the best of the best!
I also loved him as the stoner roommate in True Romance, but that isn't such a bad ass role....
What about that other Legends of the Fall like movie - A River Runs Through it? Waaaaaay better than Legends.

Tyler Durden by a landslide......."tomorrow's assignment...you will start a fight with a total stranger"

Never one to look away from Brad, I vote for Troy, in which he was not only a bad ass but a leader as well. A BAL, if you will.
