ROFL ... if you could get through that without laughing, I'd be impressed.
Of course, I kinda liked the Catherine Zeta-Jones laser thingie in the movie "Entrapment", even if it was blatant, so to each his own.
Has he or you seen the movie Serenity, or the Fifth Element? I was just thinking both of those have the "fighting tough" yet in need of a man to lead them, female character in them. Granted, the main female in Serenity is a young girl, but the concept is there.
