    I never knew "cool" was gone in the first place to necessitate it being brought back.

    haha... remember the days of Arnold Schwarzenegger action moves? Those guys were cool to me...

    Stallone. Schwarzenegger. Heck we even had Willis, Norris, Seagal and Van Damme.

    Now, Stallone continues to bring up the past with Rocky and Rambo. Both noble attempts, I'll give him that... a last-ditch effort to live the glory days.

    Schwarzenegger seems comfy in his world of politics... but will forever be the irreplaceable Terminator.... (the new TV show sucks so bad, so I hope Bale can salvage what's left in the upcoming T4 movie)

    Willis continues to make Die Hard movies, and the latest (final?) one - while action-packed - had many "WTF" and "yeah right" moments.

    Norris lives on in his newfound glory with CN Facts. (And yes, he does have another first in his beard)

    Seagal and Van Damme seem to remain ageless in their straight-to-video B-movie action flicks... but who can forget Under Siege and Double Impact?

    Seagal movies, as cheesey as they are, they're pretty fun to watch.

    And Van Damme, I really only like Blood Sport.

    I think Seagal knows that his movies are cheesy, but he has the guts to get out there in front of the camera and do his best... and it still pays the bills!

    His best movie was where he plays a small role, Executive Decision... Russell and Platt carried the film, as did Suchet.. :)

    Speaking of Kurt Russell: I really enjoyed Big Trouble in Little China, Escape from LA, Tango & Cash, Breakdown, Executive Decision, and Tarantino's Death Proof.

    As for Van Damme, have you seen Double Impact? That was quite entertaining...!

    5. Chris Rock

    Give me a break, all he does is stands up and curses. No talent loser.

    I would rather see, Will Smith or Martin Lawrence.

    doesn't Martin Lawrence stand up and curse too?

    Does the wit and insight of Chris Rock escape you?

    Just curious: how did you feel about the late George Carlin?

    I definitely give Chris Rock a thumbs up! Anybody see the new HBO special he did?

    Maybe some people are offended /\ /\ that he cusses, but to say he is talentless is just ignorant. What has Martin done recently to bring anything back?

    did they compile this list by looking at the last 10 covers of GQ? Please. Anderson Cooper? Jason Statham (who could have been cool if he hadn't started making ridiculous movies like Transporter)? Richard Branson? he was cool a decade ago, if at all. very weak list.

    haha, and I thought Statham was cool after watching the Transporter...
    ... but then again, I just like a good car chase scene in action movies... :D

    I don't agree with any list that gives a thumbs up to George Clooney. Wow, he is just...bad.

    Chris Rock does not have the talent of George Carlin. Admit it Chris Rock is not Cool, but if you replace the C with a F, then that I will agree with. Now Samuel L. Jackson is cool!

    Carlin is the greatest comedian and social satirist of all time. Hes a hero and an inspiration to me.

    Chris Rock is a funny guy AND I respect that he calls it like he sees it and does not pander to his fanbase. I worked on a film with him and he was 100% down to earth and really good guy. No entourage. No gangsta BS. Just a smart , funny, dude. But he doesnt deserve to be on a top 10 list.

    Sam Jackson WAS cool until he started believing his own hype. Now hes a parody of himself.

    A.I. Artifical Intelligence. He was the voice of one of the robots and Spielberg had him onset doing it live.

    hey now, I mentioned Norris after the list.

    Besides, Chuck Norris is ABOVE the list. He needs to be there in order to ROUNDHOUSE KICK everyone below him... :D

    Yes, you did indeed mention Norris (I must've missed it while skimming through the posts... D'OH!!). You and I are safe from fierce round-house kicks :) !!!

    Chuck Norris.

    well now you've done it... you have to post your favorite CN facts:

    Mine are:
    * Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.
    * Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.
    * There is no chin behind Chuck Norris' beard. There is only another fist.
    * If you have five dollars and Chuck Norris has five dollars, Chuck Norris has more money than you.
    * Chuck Norris is what Willis was talking about
    * Chuck Norris sleeps with a night light. Not because Chuck Norris is afraid of the dark, but the dark is afraid of Chuck Norris
    * Chuck Norris can touch MC Hammer.
