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

Expendables: Call to Arms (Best Trailer)

Official Trailer

So, where are you going to be August 13th? If you have at least one Y chromosome, your answer to that question had best be "in a movie theater, watching The Expendables." However, unlike most things you will see in a movie theater, The Expendables is not going to be merely a movie; The Expendables is going to be a cinematic experience. Why, you ask? Well, first you put one of the greatest filmmakers of all time in charge of directing and writing it, Sylvester Stallone. And no, I don't care that you don't think he's that good; the man is an Oscar-award winner, wrote and directed both the Rocky series and the Rambo series, which, while not universally good, both included fucking great movies. It's not like you could do any better.

Then, you put together the greatest cast of all time. This cast cannot be described as anything short of "epic."

Sylvester Stallone
Jason Statham
Dolph Lundgren
Jet Li
Terry "President Camacho" Crews
Mickey Rourke
Eric Roberts
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin
Randy Couture
Arnold "The Gubernator" Schwarzenegger
Bruce Willis

I mean, really, look at that. This cast has so much testosterone, the first time I saw it I got a bloody nose. It will actually punch you in the face. This movie is going to be the best thing to happen this year. And like the Call to Arms trailer says, if you let Eat, Pray, Love win the box office that weekend, you don't deserve to call yourself a man.

In this thread, we mansplain The Expendables.

    This movie would be enough to make a man fucking cry if a man cried about anything, but we don't, so fuck pussies who do!

    I'm so psyched for this shit. Between this, the Losers, and Red, this looks to be good damn year for being a dude.

    They should have made this movie in 3D, so each of the main actors could take turns punching the audience in the face. In 3D.

    I'm hoping they slip in at least one Rocky IV in-joke since Stallone and Drago are both in the movie.

    And if by 'murdered' you mean 'stole from a lesser man and carried into the theater while it was still alive'.

    Also, as per man law, the theater must be short sold so that every man can sit one seat away from every other man.

    They must remove all the seating save for one seat which shall be converted into a throne made of skulls and spent bullet casings.

    All men attending the showing must engage in a bare-knuckle brawl to determine which of them can watch the movie from the man throne.

    I can't believe Van Damme turned Stallone down to work on some shitty Belgium movie.

    And Segal wasn't even asked. I know he's fat now, but come on. That would complete the cast of everyone except Bronson.

    That said.

    It was actually renamed to the Italian Stallion after Rocky came out.

    I'm extremely disappointed that the villains of this movie aren't going to be Islamic terrorists.

    I understand that the movies are a throwback to the 80's, where the villains were Latin American drug lords. However, the reason Latin American drug lords were the villains in the 80's movies is because, in the 80's, we were at war with drugs. Today, we are at war with terror; therefore, the villains should be islamofascists or perhaps Osama bin Laden himself. If you're going to do a proper throwback, you can't just imitate the veneer, you have to imitate the underlying structure.

    I guess the Rock was probably busy shooting the other guys.

    Diesel probably didn't want to be a part of it because he's a big pussy boy.

    Also, the rumor is that most of them worked scale so that this could be made. That's how they got willis. He does a lot of work for scale now if it's a project he likes.

    I'm as much of a feminist as anyone, but seriously, 95% of the audience for this movie that is not being dragged along by their SO is going to be male. 95% of the audience for Eat, Pray, Love not being dragged along by their SO is going to be female.

    I mean, I would love it if more women would get into movies like this, and stop watching complete and utter trash like Sex and the City, or Eat, Pray, Love. That would be fucking awesome. It's just not happening, though, so we either accept it and move on, or get all PC about it.

    The Italian Stallion is actually a re-cut version of the original with much of the hardcore taken out. It also has less continuity shot to shot because of all the cutting.

    I think she's still pretty tough looking. Also if we are adding dudes we want in Expendables, I'd say throw in Jeffrey Dean Morgan, but only if there is a female he has to beat up (got to keep up his record). Have Julia Roberts play a villianess and JDM can tune her up.

    Her, Darryl Hannah, Sigourney Weaver, Lynda Carter, Uma Thurman, and Lindsay Wagner could all definitely qualify. Also, Milla Jovavich, Michelle Rodriguez, and Angelina Jolie for the younger generation.

    They actually asked Kurt Thom but he turned it down because he didn't want to be in collaboration or something. Proving that having sex with Goldie Hawn does make you go crazy, see Mel Gibson (I mean I can't be the only person to have actually watched bird on a wire).

    I'm sure a lot of guys turned it down.

    Also, Linda Hamilton has bitched more than Alan Cumming during X2 that getting in shape for T2 was the hardest fucking thing she ever had to do and she could never do it again.

    She's not an action star. Sigourney on the other hand can have my babies, my tall, chain smoking babies.

    I think we're onto something with the all female cast though, the sequel should be the crack vagina squad.
