Here I was in the middle of writing a subtle, intensively-researched, impassioned piece about the health care crisis, when all of a sudden this new clip from Ong-Bak 2 shows up in my inbox. As you can see, the scene is that the black knight from Monty Python and some guys in masks are having a knife-sex party up in a tree when Tony Jaa decides to interrupt… WITH FISTS! AND KICKS! AND KNEES AND ELBOWS AND BONE BREAKS TO THE CHEST PARTS! Holy crap, nothing gets me fired up like new Tony Jaa clips. In fact, I just headbutted my coffee mug and beat my roommate to death with his own cat. Crap, I gotta go guys, I should call someone about this.
“THIS CHICK SEEMS FEISTY.”
Opens October 23rd in theaters, already available on OnDemand

Tony Jaa become an action star as a grown man. Jija Yanin become well known in her teens. Now the world of martial arts… Will engrave their names… At a very young age. It’s time… for every heart… to unite… to fight the explosive battles with no regard for size.
So… which one of you ladies wants to fight an explosive battle with no regard for size? (*points to crotch*) (*prematurely ejaculates*) (*cries*)
