Jennifer Lopez responds to critics...

Brian Donlevy... One of my favorite tough guy actors. And you know why? Yes, he was terrific in The Great McGinty, and he was a striking Quatermass in The Quatermass Xperiment and Quatermass 2, if you could suspend disbelief to swallow an American Quatermass, but, for me, is best role was in Beau Geste. In Beau Geste, starring Gary Cooper, Ray Milland, and Robert Preston, Donlevy played the implacable Sergeant Markoff. As you probably know, Beau Geste is a French Foreign Legion story, and the Foreign Legion is traditionally where men with the law on their trail can hide out. There's a whole involved plot how Beau stole a family jewel to save it from being sold off, a love triangle, and so on, but Markoff made the film for me. See, before he sent his resume to the French Foreign Legion he worked in the Czarist gulags. And he was fired. For excessive cruelty. Want my definition of a badass? It's a guy who gets the boot from his job as a gulag guard for being too cruel!

Today's featured vid is a dual commentary of a MW2 PC TDM on Quarry played by Pembers with the FAL with holo and Dual .44 Magnums. He and B3ndroiii provide the mostly off-topic commentary. You can view more of Pembers' MW2 PC gaming on his channel, PCWarfare. Next up is some CoD4 knifing on Wetwork by ONLYUSEmeBLADE. It's pretty amazing how effective CoD4's melee mechanic was.
