action

Any gesture that serves a purpose - including very subtle gestures such as having a thought, placing your attention on someone, flowing power to somebody, keeping your center, making a conscious or unconscious wish, having an emotional reaction, declaring, asking, choosing, and so on. In general, the more subtle the action, the more energy it contains. (From Possibility Management)

Action For Action's Sake

A genre of movie. Largely action based, but with no actual plotline, or a plotline that serves only as a reason for the action.

Usually shortened to AFAS

I'm not going to go see that movie with you - I'm sure it's just an AFAS.

Michael Bay seems to like directing Action For Action's Sake.
