Monday Morning Mock Draft: Action!

Guten Tag, drones.

Today is my first day back at work after a two-week vacation.  They say a good vacation has you chomping at the bit to get back to work and get back at it.  If that’s true then this vacation sucked because, if I may quote the (presumably) late scrivener, Bartleby, “I would prefer not.”

I am, suffice to say, reasonably confident that, when I am able to retire, finding meaning in my day-to-day life outside of a job is not going to be a problem.

That said, I am back at work and smack into the middle of an expert’s deposition at 10:00 am.  What kind of asshole schedules something like that for their first day back after two weeks off when it’s already going to be a disaster zone?

This guy.

Although,

the expert kind of controls the date and time.  Be an expert, kids; it pays well and you can screw with everyone else’s schedule.

Anyway, that point of all that, (other than building the word count), is to say that I had a couple of good topics lined up, but I also want to participate in those good topics and I likely can’t, so we’re going to go with something else that I’m not as committed to.

Action Stars!

Now, an important rule that will almost certainly be violated:  Once the actor, or actress, is drafted, they are gone for ALL action roles.  Doesn’t matter if you want Stallone for Rocky but someone already took him for Rambo:  Once he’s gone, he’s gone for all roles.

Also Rocky probably shouldn’t be considered an action movie but that’s a debate for another time.

With the first pick I take the King of Action Movies, Arnold Schwarzenegger.  You probably figured that from the featured image.

The rest of you are on the clock.  Hopefully I’ll catch up with the later parts of the draft.

Anne. I know the role wasn’t notable, but the outfit is certainly worth 3rd round value.

The people who say that about vacation are either sad workaholics, or people with small children who took them on vacation but have child care when they’re at work

Fun fact: Hayley Atwell “improvised” touching his muscles during this scene

But fuck yeah captain america/human torch/others

Downfield Matriculator

Stallone: Maybe not Rocky but John Friggin’ Rambo!

Rambo
Brocky

Also, the worst character assassination ever seen on film

Goes from a film about commentary about ptsd and how soliders are treated to every negative stereotype of Reagan era foreign policy personified

Downfield Matriculator

Yup. Went from “They drew first blood, sir” to “Kill ’em all, let God sort ’em out”

They say a good vacation has you chomping at the bit to get back to work and get back at it.

Who the fuck says that? If anything my time off/vacations makes me want to travel more and work less.

I presume “they” refers to “employers”.

2Pack

Yeah, WTF are “they”…

Objectively speaking I’ve been in a situation where I wanted to go beastmode on whatever stack of work was piled up while I was away, but that was more for necessity than enjoyment

Bruce Willis, the master of getting his ass beat, cracking one-liners, and killing bad guys.
