The Doctor Will See You Now

                                   I finally got around to Doctor Who this year after several arguably aggressive recommendations from a dear friend. Before I started watching I did a little research about the show. If this were another blog I would spend several paragraphs explaining how the show was on for decades, and then canceled for a long time and now it's on again but I won't. In this blog you only need to know that the Doctor is a Timelord from the planet Gallifrey in the Kasterborous Constellation and he is a badass eleven times over.

              2013 will mark the Fiftieth anniversary of show so picking a single badass moment is not simple. I thought over and picked one arbitrarily from the most recent series. If you haven't seen it you should.

                      A mysterious organazation kidnapped the Doctor's friend Amy. To get her back The Doctor and Amy's husband Rory have just punked an entire army and taken control of a military complex that's floating somewhere in space thousands of years from now. Finally sitting across from one of the main offenders the Doctor is pissed. The delivery of what the Doctor says to Colonel Manton is amazing. The text is below and the YouTube link is even more below.

                                         
               “I want you to tell your men "run away."Those words. "Run away." I want you to be famous for those exact words. I want people to call you Colonel Runaway. I want children laughing outside your door, 'cause they've found the house of Colonel Runaway. And when people come to you and ask if trying to get to me through the people I love is in any way a good idea, I want you to tell them your name. Look, I'm angry, that's new. I'm not really sure what's going to happen now."

It Ain't Easy Having Pals

I am not going to explain this whole movie to get to the most badass part. All you really need to know is that Emilio Estevez gave the performance of a lifetime as William H. Bonney a.ka. Billy the Kid and proves he is truly the superior of Martin's boys.

In this wildly acurate bio film about the outlaw Billy the Kid the badass level is dialed up to ten. Everything about it is badass so it should not be a surprise that it would show up here.

In the climax of the film Billy the Kid and his "pals" are holed up in a burning house with the full might of FBI and the National Guard coming down on them. Do they retreat? Do they cry? No. Fuck no. They have the most balls out gunfight ever.

At one point Billy spots someone he recognizes outside. And has the following exchange.



Billy: "Hey, Peppin. I see you got Charley Crawford down there with you."


Peppin: "Yeah, that's right, Bonney. We got a whole - "

At this point Billy aims his gun out through the window and shoots Charley Crawford.

Billy: "Hey, Peppin. Charley Crawford's not with you anymore."

Poor Charley Crawford. Billy killed him for a luagh.

That's not even the most badass part of this movie. Spoiler alert: They get away, well most of them do.

See the final battle below.

THAT was badass.

The People's Badass



There I was, dawdling about on Facebook minding my own business. Totally ignorant to the mind blowing that was about to befall me. I see a link to a video with the Rock appearing on Monday Night Raw. Now, I haven't given two shits about wrestling for years, but I clicked anyways because it's The Rock.The People's Champion,The Brahma Bull, The Most Electrifying Man in Alllll of Sports Entertainment. Let's not forget this is the man who made the elbow drop, the most lame finishing move ever, entertaining.

As I watched this clip a truly Great Moment In Badass History unfolded before my unsuspecting eyes. As I said, I have not cared to pay attention to the WWE for years. So, I was not privy to what happened on the most legendary Valentines Day ever. An announcer comes out to introduce the surprise guest and the host of Wrestlemania.The lights go down. The music hits as the lights go up. The Rock is standing at the end of the walkway.

The Brahma Bull makes his way to the ring. Once, the mic is in his hands the magic happens.

In the span of about ten minutes every catch phrase we know and love flows from Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in a gleeful display of badassery announcing that he is returning to wrestling full time. If  that wasn't enough The Rock chooses John Cena as his first target. He compares Steve Austin's and his own catchphrases to John Cena's "You can't see me." then proceeds to mock the shit out of Cena.

THAT WAS BADASS.

NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN

 

                       I was doing some research(and by research I mean that I was on Youtube) and found that many of the clips posted for Inglorious Basterds had been flagged. The stated reason for said flagging is content. I tried to think of sex scenes in the film and came up empty. Naturally, my mind went next to conspiracy. A theory I quickly dropped when I realized I wanted to believe a different one. The obvious reason. Those clips are so badass they could have broken the internet.

I like this theory and as far as I'm concerned it is the most plausible. I have read about WWII  and watched documentaries and films before. None of that prepared me for the amazing truths in the Quentin Tarintino film. For the rest of my life if someone asks me how Hitler died. My answer would be, "the bear jew killed him."

In this weeks Great Moment in Badass History I would like to point to the interrogation scene in this film. I can feel the dread of the German soldier as Eli Roth slowly emerges from the tunnel in that scene. After all the build up we finally meet him. "The Bear Jew." The stuff legends are made of.The man that Nazis have nightmares about.Think about that. The nightmare of a Nazi. The Bear Jew is revealed weilding nothing but a  baseball bat. The dread felt by the German Soldier is well placed. To put it simply, the Bear Jew is not kind.

The one clip I could find has a strange fuzzy noise in the back ground. I can only speculate that it is the very bitter ghost of Hitler cursing the Inglorious Basterds for ending the war and killing the fuck out of him. Enjoy!

                                                                                   

THAT was badass.

Doug Wilson, City Councilman,Accountant, Badass

I could easily write all night about how much I love the television show Weeds. Instead, I want to talk about Kevin Nealon's character Doug Wilson. Spoilers---You've been warned.

Doug Wilson may play the clown but he is without a doubt worthy of the title, Badass. This man crushes his enemies. He is also responsible for delivering lines like this: "It's like Amsterdam, only you don't have to visit the Anne Frank House and pretend to be all sad and shit."

If that's not badass enough, he also said this:"Nobody likes your wife, you don't even like her. I could stand up on that podium tomorrow night and take a shit on one of those Make A Wish cancer kids, and people still vote for me. 'Cause they hate your wife...and I'm likable."



My all time personal favorite Doug Wilson being a badass moment is one I really can't describe without ruining the moment. I have attached the clip for your viewing pleasure. NOT safe for work, or children
