Can't tell you how many times I've had that thought. But, I believe in the books, the eagles were very reluctant to get involved with the affairs of men...but yeah, one would think it wouldn't be too hard to convince them...

Movies are violent as ever now but network cop or investigative hour dramas are guys walking around,asking questions for an hour till a guy gives in or admits something.

The most badass of that bunch was Audrey Hepburn.

I'm not a LOTR nerd but I read somewhere that if you want to piss one of them off you ask why the eagles didn't just take the ring and have done with it right away.

Playing with fire fella...most those LOTR fellas are badasses too.

ROFL

I stopped after the first page when I saw Harrison-fooking-Ford (Draft dodger). Yay. A multi millionaire that flies helicopters.

Then they double down and call Samuel L. Jackson a 'badass' for being a militant Black Power activist in the 1960s..."and kind of a terrorist." :rolleyes: Self-hating hipsters with white guilt and stare at navels all day just pre-cummed a little reading that. And it really is cool, cause...you know...white people are all like...so...um...gross. It says he went on to become addicted to crack. :clap: Awesome! SO badass!

Abject list that is bathed in reerunation.

Yeah somehow I'm not worried about offending LOTR guy. Do you know the answer to why they didn't have the eagles drop the ring?

Should've kept reading,Mel Brooks was a bad mofo

Too much hair on his head.

JFC, missing a couple huge ones.

First, Jimmy Stewart. The It's a Wonderful Life, Rear Window, etc. guy. He FOUGHT to get into action, instead of being used to promote the military, and flew dozens of missions over Germany in WWII, flying B-24s.

He retired as a Brigadier General in the Reserves.

Second, Teddy Ballgame. The Splendid Splinter. Fighter pilot in WWII and Korea, he lost something like 7 prime baseball-playing years to military service, and might have threatened Babe Ruth's HR record if he hadn't.

He also was an expert fly and deep-sea fisherman and is one of a very small number of people (like 5?) to be inducted into the halls of fame of two different sports.

Would've been a really boring book/movie if they had?
