Happy Bad Ass Mother’s Day Mother’s Day is just around the corner and I can’t think of a more appropriate way to celebrate than by settling in for a sweet movie marathon of flicks that star some real Bad Ass Mothers.  On second thought, I guess a more appropriate way to celebrate would be to take your mother out to brunch of send her a nice e-card (heck, maybe even spring for the tangible Hallmark variety!) but being appropriate was never really my thing.  I like to thank my mom for all she has done for me on my birthday – the day she “brought in into the world” or, more accurately, the day I ripped myself free from her body, against her will.  When you look at it that way, birthdays really should be about celebrating your mom and Mother’s Day should be about celebrating Arnold Schwarzenegger.  AmIright?? Our “Bad Ass Mother” Movie Collection features The Terminator, Harry Brown, From Paris With Love,Gamerand Crank: High Voltage.  Or, as I like to call it, The Anthology of Films that Best Represent the Life and Times of L.T.  Allow me to take a moment and highlight the similarities between each film and my own dramatic adventures.  Arnold told everyone “I’ll be back” in the film that really kicked his career into high gear.  Similarly, I told everyone in my office “I’ll be back” after I went to grab lunch; a deep-fried-carb-loaded lunch that later rendered me unable to actually kick anything.  Harry Brown stars Michael Caine as a man who takes the teenage violence that is running rampant in his community into his own hands.  Just like Michael, I too decided to put a stop to my community’s growing noise problem and took it upon myself to slip notes into my neighbor’s mailboxes when I felt their music was too loud.  That’ll teach ‘em! Jonathan Rhys Meyers has to carry around a vase in To Paris With Love because of it’s unique composition and I had to carry around a vase when I moved from my last apartment because, let’s face it, sometimes moving men don’t handle everything with care even when marked FRAGILE.  Gamer is about a future where videogames have evolved into real-life manhunt (kind of like The Running Man) and that’s just like my life because after playing “Order Up” on my Wii for a few consecutive days I decided to enroll in culinary school.  I wish this little tidbit was a joke but it’s not. Crank is an easy one – Jason Statham attaches jumper cables to his nipple and tongue and so do I!  But then again, who doesn’t?! If you want to mix and match a traditional Mother’s Day with an EPIX Mother’s Day, you could always watch these movies with your mom.  Ta-da!  Compromise made. L.T. P.S. Congratulations to Prince Will.i.am and Kate Middleton!  I’m sure your ceremony was lovely but you’ve got nothing on the nuptials of the one and only Derek and yours truly.
