The original French La Femme Nikita was better than the American version imo.

maybe TMI but I once had a one night stand with someone who liked to have the TV on (!) and Big Trouble in Little China was on and very VERY offputting

I agree Nikita was better than Point of No Return, though I enjoyed both and would put them both on this list.

Besson seems to like that kind of character - secretly trained assassins as heroines (Columbiana) and kickass females (Fifth Element)

If you like kickass females, you should see Serenity if you've not done so yet: Serenity (2005) - IMDb

River is seriously BA.... all I can say is "Miranda"!

Entropy, since you're a fan of The Dude, have you heard of Lebowskifest? They have several of them around the country, if one is near you, you might want to check it out!

Browncoat · 05-04-2012, 06:07 PM

I think I linked this earlier, but I think it's worth a 2nd linking for those Lebowski fans: The Tron Lebowski - YouTube

Hank567 · 05-04-2012, 06:23 PM

hahaha, that is great! Especially since I love both Tron and The Big Lebowski. Watching the new Tron movie, I could definitely see some of The Dude in Kevin Flynn.

People cam really prepared for the film, tossing toast... lol all sorts of things. I loved going to see that show in that setting. Just amazingly fun.

I think it would loose a lot just watching it at home alone.

I used to go to that theater. The UC Theatre on University Ave. Went and saw RHPS there too. That was weird funky fun.

Some literary agents and publishers these days even put a blurb on their acceptance criteria page telling writers that if their story doesn't include a kicka$$ female, don't bother submitting it....
