The Expendables - August 13th, In a Fucking Theater, Where Violence Belongs

I also predict that every actor whose ever held a fake gun will have been in an Expendables movie by the third

I have seen the tank scene and the container scene. The tank scene was literally the first thing I saw from the new A-team film. (thanks to it being in every advert for it). and both times ive seen Expendables the cinema erupted with everyone having a "holy shit" moment, when i saw the A-team everyone just sat there like it was nothing. I stand by my view that the shotgun hallway scene is better.
The body count was right up there as well, probably near half the young male population I would guess
that is some serious knife knowledge. Congratulations!
some googling later: http://www.hibbenknives.com/expendables.htm

That's what I was thinking.

because.. you know... everyone's fuck-all tired of angsty vampire movies.
God I hope that is true. If we could go a couple of years without a new vampire film or tv series I'd be pretty happy. Or any kind of undead.
How about something new, say a relaunch of Perfect Strangers or Full House
I'm pretty burned out on undead/biozombies myself. I really don't think I could tolerate yet another flick about some form of zombie running like a crazed Usain Bolt towards the main characters.
yeah... give it about 10 years on the whole zombie thing.
I've heard fairly good things about the current/working script for the World War Z movie that's supposed to be in pre-production (at least, as of mid last year).
I've heard "the Shambling dead"? on AMC is supposed to be pretty good when it starts in october. (unsure of the actualy name of the show, think thats it. Based on a book)
And yes, it is excellent.
Unfortunately DirectTV I can't set it to record already. Hoping I remember when I can set the series to record with out missing 3-4 episodes.
This was discussed in the SE++ thread, but the feeling there was that the sequel should feature Arnold's team (Arnold after an HGH cycle, Bill Duke, Michael Biehn, and the guy who played Billy in Predator) against Sly's team. And maybe throw the Rock in there as well.
Also the Arnold team should have Tony Jaa on heroin locked in a metal crate so that they could toss him at Jet Li.
Arnolds team would be bad ass. Is there anybody from the original predator thats not alive? I mean, you know they're gonna lose, they're all bad asses, just get that whole team! The Indian can die to couture, apollo has to die to sly, and jessie ventura... damnit can stone cold switch sides or did he die? I don't remember. I was too busy orgamisiming in my pants from all the awesome violence!
Even if they aim for the old team, they should replace Richard Chaves with Adrien Brody.
I would pay serious money to see this.
I made that better for you.
Fake edit: The reverse might work better.
I think if they manage to pull that off you've got to let Apollo get his revenge on Drago. And make Dolph die for real this time.

And find a way to get Clubber Lang and Thunderlips in there too.

I thought that The Expendables could have been much better. The plot wasn't that great, the blood effects were sub-par, there was some bad dialogue, I didn't think that some of the jokes were as funny as others did, Statham managed to make me bored of throwing knives.
I liked Rambo IV better. It was still worth seeing but I didn't think it was great.
I'm stoked to hear that they're working on a sequel though, because I think they've probably learned a lot from this film and I'm excited to see what they can do next.

I kept thinking of this scene:
One question:
You know that scene where Dolph Lundgren is driving after Sylvester Stalone and Jet Li, and some weird old guy is sitting next to him going all like, "Don't lose your nerve!!" and then hes all like, "Don't talk to me maggot!".
I sort of got the impression that was all in Dolph Lundgren's head and he wasn't really there... or was it really just some weird old guy henchman sent to make sure Lundgren didn't mess up the hit?

I think you're overthinking the movie.
It was just some old henchman having a go at him.
I love it when I go into a movie with the lowest of low expectations and end up being pleasantly surprised. Its way better than being super excited for a movie, then being disappointed.
-edit-
Same thing happened for the A-Team movie. I thought it was going to suck big time, but grudgingly went because my little cousin wanted to see it.
Terry Crews and his repeater-shotgun was hilarious. The entire theatre laughed and cheered.
I'll just leave this here
edit: Also there's this from handsomest man in the universe Bruce Campbell
