Star-studded action flic issues a “call to arms” for men to take back theaters from chic-flics like “Twilight,” “Sex in the City,” and especially Julia Robert’s forthcoming “Eat, Pray, Love.”
Next month action movie fans, especially of the ones produced in the 1980′s heydays with the likes of Willis, Stallone, Schwarzenegger , and Russel, will be treated to a star-studded cast in the movie “The Expendables,” and already it’s challenging men of all ages to “to take back what’s ours.”
“Gentleman, while you’ve been at home NOOB tubing total strangers, duct taping 40s to your hands, you’ve been handing the keys to Hollywood to teenage girls and G.N.O.,” reads the movie’s latest trailer. “Julia Roberts might be the final blow. ‘Eat, Pray, Love.”
It warns that August 13th, the day the movie debuts in US theaters, might be “our last chance” to “take back what’s ours.” The cast reads like a who’s who of action movies over the last 30 years. It stars no less than: Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Arnold Schwarzenegger , Bruce Willis, and even Dolph Lundgren of “Rocky IV” fame.
Part of the movie’s call to arms is for men to watch the movie “not off your torrents” but “in a fucking theater where violence belongs.” And if men don’t show up it warns, and “The Expendables,” heaven forbid, loses to “Eat, Pray, Love,” then it says you “don’t deserve to be a man.”
I have to say that I’m actually looking forward to watching this movie – in a theater. I miss the old action movies where you could count on lines by Arnie telling criminals to “stick around” after he impales them with a sword and leaves them to dangle on a wall.
I’ve seen several other trailers for the movie and from what I’ve seen it looks pretty good. “The Expendables” may just be the type of movie worth staying off torrents for. At the very least it’ll be mhy way of repudiating “Twilight” and “Eat, Pray, Love.”
Stay tuned.
No torrents for me. Hotfile ftw!
Hmm./
The trailer has been removed …no wonders why!!
I hope everyone appreciates the irony of the MPAA taking this down. FUCK THE RIAA!
Doh, here’s the source of the info about the MPAA’s comment: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/movies/2010/07/lionsgate-expendables-fan-trailer-mpaa-taken-down.html
The irony is f-in’ awesome.
A custom trailer that has the internet buzzing about this movie with the message of don’t download it, see it in theaters… got yanked for copyright violation.
These guys at the MPAA really don’t have a clue about the internet.
It turns out the MPAA took exception to the use of their Green Band.
Here’s another posting of the trailer for those that missed it the first time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fncp0sQvBM0
Awesome how a movies deceleration of war against piracy…ITS MOTHERFUCKING MANDATE AGAINST TORRENTS………….was removed from YouTube due to a copyright claim by the Motion Picture Association of America.
God forbid the content creators get paid for their work, huh?
They do and can. Note that Hollywood has reaped record profits year after year since 2005.
The real story here is the pathetic attempt to market to “alpha-males” who are so insecure in their masculinity that a trailer that does everything but call torrents “gay” can influence their decision to go to a theatre.
someone will leak it out
I’ll wait for the DVDrip.
This looks like the typical big budget feed the dumb**** masses exploding ****, tough guy movie for pansies who talk big on the net but have never been in a fight. Gotta love that most of these action hero jerkoffs are well past their respective primes. Any of these douche nozzles under the age of 45? Enjoy this like your Napoleon Dynamites and whatever else to hop on the bandwagon of.
Some movies are worth seeing in a theater. This is not one of them.
How about:
NOT AT ALL BECAUSE IT PROBABLY SUCKS LIKE MOST MOVIES THESE DAYS
(oops too long)
I still remember that last Bond film. Plenty of action, but makes no sense. I have a better idea for movies, hire real writers and if they write something non-formulaic, DON’T CENSOR THEM!
As somebody who appreciates both action pics AND chick flicks, I am suitably offended!!
The film is based on the best-selling memoir by Elizabeth Gilbert on her yearlong journey around the world and his quest to change his life. Also, Javier Bardem and James Franco.
