The Expendables

Post by Kurt J. Wilkens »

Wow. Judging by the cast, this one is going to be ... interesting. It certainly has potential, on an epic scale.

I don't get the "it's been done" shtick.

Practically every "war movie" since Vietnam has been about a small group that is betrayed by its employers/gov't. Even "Aliens," fer chrissake.

"It's been done" is just for someone trying to appear world-weary and above it all.
The flesh is weak, and the smell of pussy is strong like a muthafucka.

Best part of that cast, for me, is David Zayas. I know that no one else has heard of him, but we were in an acting class together, and did a play together, in the mid 90's. He was a cop then, working night shifts and auditioning by day. Great gut and a very good actor.

At least TV was immune to such derivative nonsense:
