Vidistine nuper imagines moventes bonas?

- Seen any good movies lately?

Last weekend we went to see the new Bruce Willis movie, "Die Hard and Blow Stuff Up" (I think that was the name) and it was really pretty good. I have to admire Bruce at his age still bouncing off cars and falling down elevator shafts, always limping but inevitably able to shoot it out with the bad guys in the end and save the day. You have to wonder just where the world would be if it was not for Bruce. I did always wonder though in whichever edition it was that he had managed to lose his shoes just before having to race across a roomful of broken glass, why it was that he didn't grab something and sweep the glass out of the way before he tromped through. Yet, except for the bloody footprints he left everywhere, it really did not seem to impede him. Personally if I get a thorn from the rose bushes in the backyard when I'm out there cutting them back I whimper for a couple of hours. Obviously I am just not of Bruce's mettle.

Which brings me to a thought. Why haven't we sent Bruce overseas to clean up this mess in the Middle East. Given his willingness to throw himself into the fray for any cause, whether it is his cause or not, I'd think he'd be glad to go over and straighten it up. If not him, he seems to be on pretty decent terms with Demi - surely he could enlist her as GI Jane to mow down the Jihad with a steely look. Failing that, he might throw in Ashton - we might just be able to pull out of this mess if we can make a convincing argument that it was all a Punk.

Oh, that it could be true.
