Re: The Avengers!
When I think Avengers I think the old British spy show with Patrick McNee as John Steed and when at its best Dianna Rigg as Emma Peel.

Well, then it isn't your type of movie. Nuff said.
Oh yes, I plan on going to see The Expendables 2 as well.

Garbage movie? Light fun, sure. What is your idea of a non-garbage movie?
I watched Warriors last night with Tom Hardy (or Bane, as I like to call him). Good movie.

Did you know the charactrers name "Emma Peel" was a takeoff on "M appeal", short for "man appeal"? When they created the character they wanted a beautiful but tough woman who men would like. It worked! I have memories as a kid around 11 or 12 being at someones house (we didn't have a tv of course) and watching The Avengers. I was in love with England and Dianna Rigg.

I tell ya, those Brits and the names they give their lady characters. If it isn't Emma Peal, it is Honey Ryder, Plenty O'Toole, Xenia Onatopp or the grand daddy (momma) of them all, .......... Galore. The last four of course being from various James Bond films.
