Maybe I should wait, but Tony Jaa 's on the fence between legendary and ignominity. I saw "Ong-Bak" in the theaters in 2006, and saw what thousands of fans saw: the best aspects of Jackie Chan and Jean-Claude Van Damme pressed into one frame. So what happened? After "The Protector", he had a falling out with "Ong Bak" director Prachya Pinkaew, decided to direct "Ong-Bak 2" himself, and proceeded to go Joaquin Phoenix during production. "Ong-Bak 2" didn't set the world on fire, but number 3's coming out this fall anyway.
What's next, Tony? DTV supremacy? Immigrate to Hong Kong? Return Sly's calls and appear in "The Expendables 2"? Live in the forest with the elephants?

- For decades (and under several names), this man has written in a variety of media, on a panoply of subjects, in an attempt to demarcate the cacophany of the universe. Despite the failure of several ventures, and the gravitational pull of reality, this man is unable to refrain from writing. Seriously, the dude has a problem. An intervention seems inevitable.
