Since I like to do things LEGAL and all, when the local GameStop
announced its going out of business sale (two day ago) I scrambled
over to see what DVDs I could get.

I hit the freakin' jackpot for great summer action films!

Escape from NY
Escape from LA
Mad Max
The Road Warrior
Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome
The Transporter
The Transporter 2
The Transporter 3

Okay okay, I'll admit that although my sons really enjoy the
Transporter movies for the action, I actually bought them for myself
just for the thrill of watching Jason Statham take off his shirt off
over and over and over again .....

My youngest son says he's not my type. "Mum, he's not cool enough for
you - you should be with Snake Plisken!".

Oooh nooo... you don't want Snake. He's cool in certain ways and comes
through in NY (not mad about LA), but he's still gonna walk out on
you. Jason will kick lots of butt and then make you dinner.

If you judge them by their vehicles, Jason's obviously the one to go
with. Max's car doesn't really have a passenger seat (and watch out
for that dingo, mate -- he bites!), and Snake is more about single seat
spy planes.

Yes, dinner. With candles. White linen tablecloth. Silk sheets.

Hey guys, you've got to understand my youngest son's point of view -
he's 13. (My daughter is 20, my oldest son is 16, and youngest son is
13 - HOW THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN?) From his point of view, Snake is
perfect because I have a unique tattoo and Jesse is always nudging me
"oh, Mum, you just know you want to see the WHOLE tattoo on Snake
Plissken (sorry for the typo earlier, my screenreader didn't catch
it)?". Then he smirks.

But from *my* perspective, it's Jason all the way <insert double
entendre here>.

If your criteria is tattoos, then of course Snake Plissken wins pants
down.

Jason is the obvious choice, though I don't know how well dinner would
stay down with his driving tendencies. :"D

Bollocks! I can *surf* on a full stomach - being in a car, even
driven by Jason - would be a piece of cake!

(for those nonsurfers out there, there is a split second moment when
you drop from the back side of the wave to the front of the wave, and
it feels like you are going down a elevator/lift waaaaaaay too fast -
all while standing on your board and controlling the "drop")
