Movie News
50 Cent is out! Who is in THE EXPENDABLES? Stallone says...
Hey folks, Harry here... It is Saturday, the second SXSW Saturday of the year - and yes, I'm about to head out to see more movies. It has been a wonderful, yet taxing week of cinema. But throughout this week - there's been the update on the casting of HALE CAESAR. For quite some time, the role belonged to Forest Whitaker, but a push in the schedule made it impossible for the Ghost Dog to continue with the film. Then I received a call, informing me that rapper, 50 CENT aka Curtis Jackson, had stepped into the role. Then Sly sent me an email regarding that casting, that I updated the story with. Well... today, I get woke up with a very enthusiastic call from Stallone, who has recast the role of Hale Caesar for a final (hopefully) time. So... who is Hale Caesar? First off - he's 6'2 & a half" and BIG. He's a former San Diego Charger. He made his screen debut with Arnold Schwarzeneggar in THE 6TH DAY. And his most recent film will be this summer's Arnie-less TERMINATOR SALVATION. He is TERRY CREWS. Not necessarily a big name, but a big man to take his place among other big men. As I said, Sly seems very enthusiastic about this fella and I look forward to seeing what Terry Crews has in store for us.

I've seen cat shit with more charisma, 50 Cent is awful. Glad he's out.

Crews is awesome
by Tin Snoman
Not the most iconic choice, but the guy is awesome in everything he's in. He needs to be in more films.

President Camacho!
by Cyrusk
He's clearly part 3 of Stallones 3 part plan to fix everything.
March 21, 2009, 1:19 p.m. CST
by DerLanghaarige
He is not just hilarious in pretty much every comedy he did, he also is intimidating enough to be an action star!
 Thank you Sly! If I were gay, I would suck your cock. But...whatever *slurp*,
March 21, 2009, 1:20 p.m. CST
BTW, why did nobody tell me that he is in Terminator 4?

I hope Crews keeps this role for more than a week.

ok...this role is being recast more than BATMAN!
by ABking
I hope this is final:)

And seriously: If there is a reason to watch White Chicks...
by DerLanghaarige
...it's Terry "Scenestealer" Crews!
 Okay, I don't expect him to goof around a lot in 'The Expandables', but I'm sure he will steal a scene or two in this movie too.
March 21, 2009, 1:36 p.m. CST
Good call, Sly.
by The Reluctant Austinite
Somehow I'm thinking Sly must be reading our comments. Terry Crews just seems like he'd be a lot more fun to hang out with during shooting than 50 cent. He was great in "Idiocracy," a movie that I can't seem to shake. I find myself quoting it all the time: "It's what plants crave. It's got electrolites." Or, "Tonight on 'Ow, My Balls'--."
March 21, 2009, 1:39 p.m. CST
Now that's kick ........... ass!
by Big_Bubbaloola
Being Brit, never knew him from his sports career, only from the films and the Chris Rock series.

Thought he showed some acting chops in Street Kings, till he got shot in the back by Ted then drilled like all hell by the crooked cops.

Now Sly, strap him into a chain gun, and it'll make me into a sexual tyranasaurus.
March 21, 2009, 1:41 p.m. CST
Why Not Apollo Creed?!?

Terry Crews rocks. Good call on the casting
by Col. Tigh-Fighter
Sorry, Curtis was just plain wrong in an otherwise exceptionally cast film :)
 Cant wait now
As far as I'm concerned, he will always be T-Money from Battledome.
March 21, 2009, 1:45 p.m. CST
wow. Now question is why is 50 cent out?
by Talkbacker with no name
Sly listening to the fanbase or another reason? Because wasn't that %100 confirmed by sly himself? weird. It's all well and good to listen to fans, but pandering to them can be very dangerous. That said I did think 50 was a terrible idea and gave the whole thing less cred than more, but don't listen to me Sly, I'm an idiot fanboy.
March 21, 2009, 1:51 p.m. CST
Stallone Definitely Needs to Avoid Pandering to Fanboys
by Acquanetta
If fans actually knew anything, we wouldn't be fans. We certainly wouldn't be posting in a talkback. The great thing about Watchmen is that it proved filmmakers shouldn't pander to fanboys.

March 21, 2009, 1:56 p.m. CST
by Vern
I think this thing really is being cast by talkbacks. I guess we better request Oleg Taktarov. But I applaud Sly for choosing President Camacho, who deserves roles like this and who in my opinion is more worthy of being presented as a peer with Stallone, Lundgren, Li, Trejo, Rourke, Roberts, etc.
March 21, 2009, 2 p.m. CST

I don't hate 50 Cent or him being cast
by liljuniorbrown
But I fucking looooove the fact that Terry Crews is in this now . I can't think of one movie that he's been in that he didn't steal it flat out.He was awesome in Idiocracy, Friday After Next, and evn that shit storm of a Longest Yard remake.

by THEFUCKINGCREEPYTHINMAN
Back in 2005 this fucking faggot got paid 500,000 to perform like the trained money he is at a fucking 13 year old girls bar mitzvah. The worst part is that her father David H. Brooks, who spent 10 MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS on the bar mitzvah, was a military defense contractor who's company manufactured faulty bulletproof vests for soldiers in Iraq. Last time I read he was being hauled off for a vacation at CLUB FED where he is no doubt getting all the internal rectal massages anyone could want in life from.

Michael Caine as The General
by scriptgirl_nipples
A small role for the original boss, giving Stallone his orders to ELIMINATE the BASTARDS.

No idea who he is, but I expect a "charger" means some sport...
by JackPumpkinhead
Which at least makes it better than a rapper. Plus, a sportsman should usually be good in a movie - I mean, just look at O. J. Simpson... ooops.

that's what I'm talkin' about!
by Jesiah
Even in a movie like Serving Sara (pretty decent flick imo) he really did well as a cowboy bounty hunter type. Goes to show Stallone was testing out fiddy and when he saw the negative reaction he knew he had to change it. Supposedly TC is a good Christian dude, so I approve of this casting; then again, anything's better than the last Hale Cesar cast by Stallone
March 21, 2009, 2:24 p.m. CST
Speaking of Idiocracy

That film deserves to be released in theaters.

Come On, He can't be THAT old. Come on, Sly. You were gonna go with Forrest Whittaker's fat outta shape ass why the fuck not cast Carl Weathers. ROCKY AND APOLLO TOGETHER AGAIN. BOX OFFICE GOLD.
March 21, 2009, 2:27 p.m. CST
and Harry and or/Sly....
by Jesiah
Why did Terry Crews get cast into this role after that little speechy email about no one initially bought Dolph Lundgren as Drago and Carl Weathers as Creed? Could it be he succumbed to the fans? Let's face it, the only 2 flicks Stallone's had as hits were from his old Rocky and Rambo franchises, this is the first new one he's done in a while so he knew he had to please the hardcore; speaking of hardcore, this flick better be R!
March 21, 2009, 2:28 p.m. CST
TERRY CREWS' casting is on a genius level
by NivekJ
His "Cheeseburger Eddy" is the best thing about The Longest Yard. He's the best thing in the Get Smart Bruce and Lloyd DVD. He's the best actor in Everybody Hates Chris! He's simply the best thing since sliced Hawaiian Bread.
This movie is going to kick ass.
March 21, 2009, 2:30 p.m. CST
by br1947
Anything is better than 50 Cent. Crap, Michael Jackson would be a better pick than 50 Cent. Actually... that'd be kinda funny. All these badasses and the one scrawny creepy guy they all beat up and rag on.
March 21, 2009, 2:30 p.m. CST
by C Legion
Thank fuck Sly listened to the backlash and kicked that cunt out of the film.
Don't know much about this new dude, but he looks the part, and he seems to be a real actor.
Who cares anyway? A turd on a stick would have given a better performance than that cocksucker "Fiddy".
Well done Sly.
March 21, 2009, 2:30 p.m. CST
Likable for being so intimidating in appearance
by oh_riginal
And a good actor to boot. Even with his small part in "Street Kings" he was good. "Idiocracy was a great film... but it was straight-to-DVD" DUN, DUUUUN!
March 21, 2009, 2:35 p.m. CST
Why don't they get Carl Weathers?
by DivisionPost
Because Carl Weathers is a fucking pussy. When he was in the ring with Lundgren during Rocky IV, Weathers cowered in the corner and said - dead serious, mind you - "If he touches me, I'll get my lawyer."
I mean, there's not wanting to get fucked up by Dolph Lundgren, and then there's pissing your pants in fear of getting hit by Dolph Lundgren. Carl Weathers doesn't deserve to be an Expendable.
March 21, 2009, 2:36 p.m. CST
Ah Terry Crews, the greatest American President
by Mysterious_Volvo
so glad i dont have to sit through this awesome sounding movie having to cringe every time i see 50 pence. Crews is an inspired choice for any movie.

heh, so thats a resounding positive reaction from us talkbackers
by Mysterious_Volvo
March 21, 2009, 2:41 p.m. CST
Sly, come on buddy...PLEASE...
by ABking
Hi Sly, hopefully you know what you are doing casting TERRY. While the guy isn't a bad actor, 50 Cent could have been better for the role (maybe) and a bigger box-office pull. Also, Terry sometimes comes off like a big FOOL in plenty of the roles he's played. I won't judge too much since you must have test screen the guy. But for the love of god...and for the love of the fans, the love of regular audience members, for the love of guys that grew up with you in the 80's...PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE write a great juicy cameo ICONIC role for ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER! I can't stress this enough! DON'T let Arnie play himself because it would come off stupid that Barney knows actor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Then that means Stallone (the actor) must exist in this movie world also, which looks stupid. If Arnie is to play a small, small role, please give him a gun, some bad ass lines, military fatigues and let him be pumped like you. The fans deserve something ICONIC for the first film with STALLONE & SCHWARZENEGGER!

50 Cent is OUT!!!
by MonkeyManReturns
There is a God and his name is STALLONE!!! I soooo hate that mofo 50 Cent! He can't act and he is a product of a wonderful marketing machine...he has zero talent! 50 cent - A box office pull? What the fuck? People will see this movie for Stallone and Li and the other studs! NO-ONE WILL COME AND SEE THIS MOVIE FOR 50 CENT!! Seriously ABKing...that was a dumb comment.

Terry Crews
by lostmykilt
Met him a few weeks ago @ a charity event. He was kind, gracious, and generally awesome. Mentioned he's writing a script for the Camacho character. The guy's been married for 20 years, has 5 kids, and comes across as a total class act. I love to see good people succeed-go Terry!
March 21, 2009, 3:21 p.m. CST

 You cannot deny the rare level of awesomery exhibited here!

"pandering to fanboys"
by GibsonUSA Returns
Speak for yourself! Not for the rest of us! I don't consider myself a fanboy. I post here mostly for action movies n stuff. Look at the last talkback...imo it was CLEARLY not just fanboys talking...it was all these fans coming from everywhere geographically and demographically. Sly's Q&A brought vast cross-cultural people. So maybe a lot of the regulars here think of themselves as movie "fanboys", please dont make assumptions about da rest of us, sucka! :P
March 21, 2009, 4:17 p.m. CST

 Now I'm not sure if I want to see the movie itself, or the outtakes first.
 Sly, big guy....you are setting the standard with this cast. One big actor? No. Three or Four? No! LETS SKULLFUCK THE MASSES WITH AWESOMENESS! YEAAAAAAAA!!!
 Dwayne Alezando Mountain Dew Herbert Comacho is the only politician I've ever seen on screen and absolutely adored. Well done Sly. This is a decision you won't regret.

the 50 cent hating. seriously the WORST thing to happen to rap/hip hop in the past couple of decades. vanilla fucking ice knew more about hip hop than this clown. ive come to the conclusion that he was shot due to the fact that he is a giant poseur. very glad this joke is out of the picture.
March 21, 2009, 4:36 p.m. CST
Crews response to Sly's decision...
by onemanarmy
"I knew you couldn't resist my shit! I got the shakes that'll make you quake. I got the fries that'll cross your eyes. I got that burgers that'll... I just got burgers."
 Mr. Jackson wasn't too pleased with his replacement, and swore on his "mamma grave" that an entire diss CD was in the making and scheduled to release as soon as possible.
 T.Crews reportedly proceeded to keep things to the point and simply asked 50Cent why he was being "such a McAsshole" & informed him that the McRib was coming back this summer and he knew who wasn't getting the "hook up."
 Crews then reminded him to sit his "monkey ass down" because he had some other important shit to say.
 This has been an imaginary AICN Awesome Mode Exclusive. You keep praying for an Edit button Talkbackers. And I'll keep forgetting to use Spell Check.

Would you like to try our ULTRA BIG ASS ACTION CAST!?
 Another shameless Idiocracy plug I know, had to do it though.
 On this pandering to fanboys thing, from my point of view movies are my therapy. In the military and/or shitty employment in general just getting the chance to sit back, relax, & pretend you're at home watching *MovieNameHere* is that happy place (if you will) that gets me from one shitty day in the desert to the next. Hell we look forward to the chance to kick back and live in THAT moment no matter how long or short the movie is.
 If whoring the TB's with my silly banter, and pleading to an action movie ICON I grew up watching that could or couldn't even be reading all this silly shit...well if that makes me a fanboy so be it. I can live with knowing that movies are my happy place. And a movie like this, coming out of present day Hollywood (read: SHIT) could potentially be spoiled by a millionaire poser...damn right I'm going to raise hell.
 Again, well done Sly. Your film deserved a better actor anyway.

10 years from now...
by onemanarmy
There will be a hidden camera show. This show will be hosted by none other than the Man, the Myth, the Legend himself.
 It will be called STALL'OWNED!
 And Sly will "Punk" the shit out of Hollywood actors on and off sets.
 Gibby will make millions after he takes credit for TradeMarking the phrase, and we will have our revenge on Hollywood for all of the bullshit it has remade, messed up, and remade & revisioned again. Furthermore convincing the general public that originality is unnecessary, and turning Joe Moviegoer into a mindless $50 popcorn eating robot.
 Dibs on the 50Cent episode though, I gotta see it in person.

About Stallone and Carl Weathers
by P2Rock
If you ready the Rocky talkback a few years back you'd know that Stallone and Weathers are no longer fast friends after Weathers held out on him for more money for some cut outs or whatever in ROCKY BALBOA. In those tB's stallone called out Weathers for being a chicken and being scared of Dolph etc. Not very classy, but he was obviously pissed at Weathers. I doubt that he would want to throw Weathers a bone after that but it would be quite a classy move to reconcile. I hope Arnie and Dolph are in this.
March 21, 2009, 5:54 p.m. CST
Hell yes
by Hamish
TC is awesome. I hope this is it for casting. Don't want to see this thing become a revolving door. And remember, Indy was supposed to be Tom Selleck, and look how well that turned out in the end...

I must admit, I was with a lot of others with a big, "Oh my god, no!", for 50 Cent's casting. Putting Terry Crews in saved this movie for me. He's a great actor and seems to have great chemistry with almost every other actor he appears with. My faith has been restored!

Oh wait I know who that guy is
by CherryValance
He'll be a massive improvement. Oddest reason I know is because I was watching a live feed of the Watchmen premiere and the one interviewer guy was in love with him. Can't tell you what I know him from, but he'll do. :D

For the record the reason 50 Cent was so bad for me is that a) I hate it when they put a rapper in a movie just for the box office because I haven't really seen any evidence that it even works, and b) there is something that is so repugnant about him in my opinion. Maybe it's that image that he has that they sell to the children, but I just want him and the other rappers of his ilk to go away and stop bringing about the fall of western civilization. Other people like Will Smith and LL Cool J aren't even remotely the same thing. They're normal people.

It worked for IDIOCRACY.

 Seriously, though, this is a HUGE upgrade. Crews has charisma to burn and is right in every way that 50 was wrong. I still would have liked Bill Duke, Keith David, or Adebisi/Eko (it's tough to get the guy's name right so I won't bother), but Crews rocks and I can't argue against casting him.

 FYI, whether he admits he backtracked or not, I give props to Stallone for recognizing a casting mistake and fixing it ASAP.

Sly does read AICN
by sho_me_da_money
Not long ago I read something about Sly paying attention to what happens on AICN - I think it was around Rambo time. Anyways going from Forrest to 50 was going from an Expensive Beer to Piss. Going from 50 to Terry is going from Piss to a Beer (not an expensive one). Anyways the decision on the cast change is good for the Brits. The key now is to combine a great cast without over-complicating the story. I'm sure most of these dudes will want their Limelight but they really shouldn't be thining about "I". There is no "I" in team. Hope it goes well. It may not be the best movie ever. But if it can stick to a fairly believable story, maintain the momentum and compliment each character, then we may be in for another Stallone success.

The key to Stallone's success....
by sho_me_da_money
Is that he actually cares to consider the thoughts of the average movie goer. He can give me the old "Believe in my talent as a director" etc. But as history has proven, even the greatest directors have had a bad day (Nolan is yet to dissappoint me though). Ultimately the movie is being made for our viewing pleasure. We the audience have the power to dub flicks a hit or miss. Paying attention to what WE are saying is a sensible thing to do. I'm not saying the fans are always right there are difference of opinions. But you have to weigh up the balance of them opinions. I would guess that over 80% (if not more) of fans have said 50 Cent was a bad choice for this movie. With figures like that, it should be a no brainer for movie makers. I applaud Stallone for his efforts to consider our thoughts. Could you imagine if Spielberg and Lucas did the same?? AHEM...

It aint easy being a legend...
by bigdwun
Stallone has the eye always has, I bet 50 would've been good in this, but crews fits the cast better, 50 would've taken away from the overall cast dominance because of his love hate relationship with the range of demographics...Good luck to Crews and the cast, Stallone is notorious for finding diamonds in the rough (ie Carl Weathers, Talia Shire, Milo Ventimilia) even with all the stars in this I expect some of the "Unknown" actors to step their game up and really be the glue holding together a beautiful masterpiece, because they will want to show they have confidence is his faith to direct them and that they belong among the best! Rock on Rock!

Terry Crews is Hilarious, Versatile and Rock Solid
by nexxus7
Actually, one of my favorite roles with him was the Ping Pong movie. I can't remember the name right now. The problem with that movie was the lead actor and some of the script for the short time Crews was onscreen, he was fantastic. Someone nailed it earlier, he is a scene-stealer.Actually when I clicked on I was kinda hoping for the nostalgic choice of Carl Weathers. But realistically Apollo is not much of an actor.

Stallone should not listen to fanboys but follow his VISION!
by ABking
I agree that Mr. Stallone should not follow all the nuttiness of all these crazy fanboys and their endless suggestions of everyone in the action book. The one thing I want is no role of "Govenor Arnold" in THE EXPENDBALES! If I wanted to see Schwarzenegger play Governor, I would watch the news in California. But if fans and the general public goes out and spends $10.00 to watch THE EXPENDABLES, then Arnold Schwarzenegger should be playing a serious balls-to-the-walls bad ass cameo role. Make the role "gritty, brutalized, scarred" like once reported on AICN. Maybe Arnie will credit Sly for coming back to Hollywood action films once he is having so much fun on Stallone's set. Smoking cigars, shooting guns and having fun...what more could Sly or Arnie ask for on a movie set. Hey Sly, suggest to your funder pal Avi Lerner to not make a new Conan film and to give Schwarzenegger KING CONAN. What would Rambo be like without Sly. So what would Conan be like without Arnie. KING CONAN could be as cold and brutal and AWESOME as Rambo was!

After starring in the successful 80's action yarn TANGO & CASH, I couldn't believe this when I read it. It is worst than VAN DAMME http://stallonezone.com/wordpress/ Mar 18 Sly on Kurt Russell & "The Expendables" 2009, Celebs, Expendables No Comments » Hey SZoners, Here's the latest from Sly: I know that many people on the site have asked for Kurt Russell. I asked for him too. Actually, I was taken aback when asked to put the request in a letter and send it to his agent. Subsequently, I was called back by the agent several days later after refusing to send a letter and he said Kurt Russell is not interested in 'ensemble acting' at this time. So, People, I came, I saw, I failed. Best, Sly

So much muscle in THE EXPENDABLES
by ABking
Sly, Arnie, Dolph, Crews, Stone Cold, Statham, Rourke...all these guys are muscle bound dudes. Now that it has sunken in, TERRY CREWS might be a very good choice. In STALLONE I trust, much like JAMES CAMERON. I can't wait for behind-the scenes photos and a teaser trailer. Heck, I can't wait until Stallone talks Schwarzenegger into a decent size cameo role of 5-10 minutes. Make Arnie a pumped asshole prick who wronged Barney:) Give Arnie a tatto of a death skull on his arm and grey hair and a crazy gotee:) LOL

by GibsonUSA Returns
Regarding your line from a few posts up:
 "I agree that Mr. Stallone should not follow all the nuttiness of all these crazy fanboys and their endless suggestions of everyone in the action book."

 My response:
 In my opinion, it's not nuttiness, it's called brainstorming. It's people throwing things out there, sometimes in a joking way (How serious was I when I proposed Carl Winslow?). When people throw out 10 names, imo that doesnt mean they want all 10 names in the movie.

 There's a saying in marrketing that goes like this:
Happy customers tell 2 people. Unhappy customers tell 10.

 In my opinion the AICN articles here do double-duty: They allow for fan interaction, and they promote happy customers. So when a Sly fan is happily throwing out 100 names and feeling as if Sly just might be reading, let him do so. It's for good things.

Also, maybe Sly asked 2 Quarters to actually read a few lines from the script, and he then released that the "Snitch" couldn't read. I would like to think that this talkback may have had something to do with Sly changing his mind, and actually hiring a black actor to play the part of a black character. Now I can go see this movie.

Just for fun. :)

 - The Expendables is scheduled to open next year.
 However, Sly's last two movies released on the '0', Rocky in 1990, and Get Carter in 2000, were not his biggest hits. Uh oh?

 -It's better not to release a Sly movie in yrs ending in the low numbers, 0-1, as these movies include the above mentioned along with Oscar and Nighthawks (in terms of commercial success).

 -Yrs ending in "2" is a 50/50 toss-up. On one side you have Rambo 1 and Rocky III, and on the other you have D-Tox and Stop or My Mom Will Shoot. It's 50/50.

 -The safest bet is to release a Sly movie in a yr ending in the mid-numbers, 5 or 6, which so far include Rocky, Rocky IV, Cobra, and Rocky Balboa.

 -Yrs ending with high numbers, 7-9, are pretty solid. These include Over the Top, Copland, Rambo III, and Tango & Cash. Arguably these are great movies but arguably not as dependable as yrs 5-6.

by GibsonUSA Returns
...is that they were both released LATE in the year.

 I'm not dissing Get Carter, I actually enjoyed a good bit of it! I'm just talking in terms of those stupid critics.

 If Expendables avoids a LATE year release and gets itself out in the spring or summer or something, it can break the Sly '0' movie trend.

i mean i adore this guy for his work in the 80`s but whats that all about, no ensemble acting? the last 2 movies were ensemble acting and he has nothing going on right now, so why the hell kurt? death proof was shit only he was good, poseidon was big shit, not even he was good! he needs a hit and slys movie is going 2 be a big one! its sad man, the list of cry babies is growing!:( Kurt Russell Nixes 'The Expendables' Casting Offer 23 March 2009 1:10 AM, PDT | From Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news In a new casting report of "The Expendables", director/actor Sylvester Stallone has revealed to StalloneZone that he has offered Kurt Russell to take part in the film, but has been declined. "I know that many people on the site have asked for Kurt Russell. I asked for him too," he fessed up. "Actually, I was taken aback when asked to put the request in a letter and send it to his agent." "Subsequently, I was called back by the agent several days later after refusing to send a letter and he said Kurt Russell is not interested in 'ensemble acting' at this time," he furthermore explained. In the end of his message, he wrote down, "So, People, I came, I saw, I failed." Meanwhile, in a new update to 50 Cent casting report, it is claimed that the rapper won't be taking any participation in the Stallone-directed action project.

by Coled Slawter
The Rock aka Dwayne would ruin it! I haven't watched a movie with him in it since Walking Stupid. Arnie was on crack when he said Dwayne was next in line. And Statham is a joke. All his movies are action comedies. Stallone makes serious action movies and that's what we want more of!

President Camacho should add "class act"...
by El Gooche
to his list of middle names. About a year ago my brother-in-law went to a San Antonio Spurs game and saw Terry Crews and Eva Longoria hanging out at the stadium bar/restaurant.
 My niece and nephew went up to them and asked for an autograph and a picture and stupid bitch Longoria said "I can't right now" and gets on her phone. Well what does Mr. Crews do? He not only signs autographs and poses for pictures, he ALSO TAKES A PICTURE OF MY SIS AND BRO-IN-LAW AND THEIR FAMILY! He tells them to hang on to the pic because it is a "Terry Crew original"! Guy is fucking AWESOME. Hollyweird needs more people like this.
 Side note: Bitchy Longoria was just sitting there the whole time not doing SHIT! She was just being a total cunt, which apparently keeps her from taking pics and signing autographs. I hate that she's from South Texas too.
March 23, 2009, 12:50 p.m. CST
Coled Slawter, I have to disagree
by El Gooche
Tango & Cash was a straight up action comedy and so was Last Action Hero. For Statham, IMO only Crank (and also part 2) would fall in that category. Unless we have different definitions of action comedies.

Kurt Would've Been The Best Addition To This Cast Thus Far
by Acquanetta
Along with Dolph and Arnold, it would've really been the kind of nostalgia/dream project everyone has been hyping. It seems odd that he turned it down, since Kurt is about as far from a Hollywood egomaniac as you can get. A genuinely cool guy. However, it sounds like his agent may be what's standing between me and another Snake Plissken film. Who is this guy?

by ABking
BringSexyBack, THE EXPENDABLES will gross about 100 million domestic and well over 300 million worldwide. Stallone and Schwarzenegger will have a huge mega hit with an original title that isn't ROCKY, RAMBO or TERMINATOR. Regarding TRUE LIES, you are in a very very very small minority with "T3 lame"! TRUE LIES is James Cameron and Arnie doing what BOND was suppose to before GOLDEN EYE. "T3 lame"!!!???? Try one of the GREATEST action spectacles EVER! "You're fired" or "I'm going to kill you pretty soon"...

Randy Couture is NOT a weak link in the movie.
by GibsonUSA Returns
Couture/Lesnar's UFC PPV topped 1,000,000 PPV buys, and was the center of attention during its buildup.
 Randy Couture represents the present...he represents the UFC era and what appeals to high school and college kids today. The crowd was cheering for him against Lesnar.

 A weak link would be to NOT have someone like Lesnar. A weak link would be to strictly keep it to a bunch of action stars from the 80s and 90s...such that it goes beyond the synergy of appeal into redundancy.

 That's an issue that I was worried about for this movie from the beginning...
 To have Steve Austin AND Hulk Hogan.
 To have Randy Couture AND Kimbo Slice.
 To have Jet Li AND Jackie Chan.

 To overlap, be redundant, repetitive. For one to possibly take away from the other, instead of elevating each other. the casting so far has been AWESOME in its avoidance of this. Sly, Jet, Randy, Jason, Dolph, and Terry all have something to give...and demographics in audiences to draw in.

Michael Biehn....seriously?
by onemanarmy
Maybe I'm missing something here but he has nothing on the awesome level of the cast as it stands...right now it's over 9000.
 Seriously though, Ringo Star? He kicked ass in Tombstone. He was in Aliens & Terminator which is cool. But he wasn't that awesome in the Grindhouse fiasco....or anything else that I can think of at the moment.
 I'm all for it if we're going for iconic 1908's films but he only has a couple under his belt & Chris Walken still needs a part. That's all I'm sayin...
March 24, 2009, 5:58 a.m. CST

You make some good points. However, Couture is not an actor. My hope is that he can prove me wrong and give a performance that isn't stale & stiff. I'm not talking Hamlet obviously, this is an action flick, but just SOME degree of range.

he was better than kurt in tombstone, only val kilmer was better! he was great in "terminator" "aliens" and "the abyss" (remember that flick?)! in "grindhouse" nearly everyone was bad, medi or just "good"! u cant judge him by a "now" thing, cus really dolph wasnt in anything good since, damn "the punisher or mickey since "the wrestler" and a decade in between...zero! same goes 2 eric roberts, i think he wasnt in anything good since "the pope..." from that point of view michael biehn has more under his belt than those guys. cus the abyss was in the 90`s!:) james cameron...some of you think he is the living god of directing. james nearly wnated him in every movie he was up 2...james already casted him as peter parker way back in 1994! he also was the first choice in titanic, for the part billy zane played. so he cant be that bad or can he? between 80`s-90`s icons i would always prefer michael biehn over christopher walken anytime. if we are talking about actors of the 80´s-90`s in this list, in which walken would fit in! there are a lot of guys way before walken 2 start with: de niro, pacino, nicholson, oldman, penn...! but we are talking about action icons, bad asses, fan faves etc so after these guys played pussy like: jcvd, kurt russell and wesley has problems leaving the country, he tried on scott atkins, so not much are left. michael biehn is a must and bruce willis! after that those are the guys who should be in, mixed up from 80`s til 00´s: vin diesel, bruce campell, christopher lambert, michael madsen, the rock, michael jay white, jensen akles, bill paxton, chuck norris, steven segal, antonio banderas!

Look at how well the CAPS fit in with the Expendables!

 Song: http://tinyurl.com/67sveh

SONG LYRICS:
 "I've got a funny feelin' there's something wrrong today
 I've got a funny feelin' and it won't go away

 I'VE GOT AN ITCHY FINGER AND THERE'LL BE HELLL TO PAY
 I'M GONNA PULL THE TRIGGER AND BLOW THEM ALL AWAY!

 DON'T EVER TRY TO TELL ME HOW MUCH YOU CARE FOR ME!
 DON'T EVER TRY TO TELL ME HOW YOU WERE THERE FOR ME!

 I don't believe there's a reason (I don't believe it)
 I don't believe there's a reason (I don't believe it)

 I've got a wicked demon that somehow never fades
 I'VE GOT AN EMPTY FEELING I WONT BE HOME TODAY.

 Don't ever try to tell me how much you care for me
 Don't ever try to tell me how you were there for me

 I don't believe there's a reason (I don't believe it)-4x

 NO ONE IS STOPPING YOU FROM DOING WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
 No one is stopping you now, stopping you now."

Perfect fit for movie!!

To El Gooche - Expendables to be buddy type comedic or Rambo-sty
by Coled Slawter
Name me one action movie that Statham has been in that was intended to make you laugh out loud? Besides Italian Job, I can't think of one. I liked Transporter 1, but it included a ton of dry humor. Rambo, Rocky and Cliffhanger were not made to make you laugh. That's my point. I have no idea if Expendables will be have comedic elements in it.
March 25, 2009, 5:42 p.m. CST
I meant "NOT" intended to make you laugh

By Jeremy Chapman
It's only natural being pastor of West Campus, which meets in a movie theatre, that I see a lot of movies…or else that's my excuse as unjustifiable lame as it may be. I, like most movie goers, tend to head out as soon as a movie is done, right when the credits start to roll. I don't necessarily think there's anything wrong with that, but I admit it is a gross oversight of those who contributed the most to how good that movie-going experience may (or may not) have been.
In the same way, in our own lives we tend to live life at such a pace that we often fail to recognize those who have added value to it and ultimately make it most worth living. The verse that comes to mind when thinking about this is I Peter 3:15:
"But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have."
With Jesus Christ as Lord of your life, you should ALWAYS be ready, to anyone who asks, to share the hope that you have. And let's face it, sometime not only do I need to be ready to share with others, but I also need to remind myself.
With that in mind, I encourage you to take time to reflect. If a movie were made of your life, what would the credits look like? Inspired by a true story…you…and directed by a loving Father…Jesus Christ…what would you acknowledge? What are the defining moments? Who is the supporting cast?
So go ahead, roll the credits for the hope that you have!

"In accordance with our laws, the first born of each of the great leaders may compete for the hand of the fair maiden, Clint. Archers to your marks! And may the lucky arrow find it's target." - Mama Fury
Bless whoever made this photo…LOL
Creepy…..yet fucking brilliant!
No matter how much you claimed to love me, you couldn't have a frostgiant sitting on the throne of Asgard!
So notice that even AFTER their huge fight and even AFTER Loki finds out he's adopted and he's actually a different species and Odin basically sucks at parenting… even after all that, when Odin's down for the count, Loki freaks right out and calls for help.
Because he still wants to be his Father's son, even if he isn't biologically.
don't forget when he kills Laufey, he says "and your death came by the son of Odin."
He still considered himself Odin's son at that point.
And even after his fall, he still introduces himself as "Loki of Asgard". In addition to that, he never says anything like "you're not my brother", just "I'm not your brother" as in he never actually disowns any of his family members, just himself.
Just thought I'd throw that out there.
welp, im crying again
