Anyone think it'll be any good? I hope it'll be.
As much as I hate to link them, I'm lazy:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Expendables_(2010_film)
The casting crap is pretty interesting:
Jean-Claude Van Damme was personally offered a role by Stallone, but turned it down.[2] This reportedly led to Dolph Lundgren being cast instead although it is not confirmed whether it was the same part. The role accepted by Forest Whitaker was originally conceived as a role for Wesley Snipes but later rewritten for Whitaker.[3] Due to a scheduling conflict prior to filming, Whitaker was replaced by Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson for the role of Hale Caesar.[4] He was then replaced by former NFL player Terry Crews.[5]
Steven Seagal was asked to play a cameo role, but turned down the offer due to negative experiences with producer Avi Lerner.[6] Hispanic actor Danny Trejo was rumored to play Emmanuel, but on June 15, he revealed that he was not cast for the role. Instead, both are in the works with Robert Rodriguez's Machete.
On May 29, 2009, the script underwent a few re-writes which ultimately excluded Brittany Murphy's character, which would have been necessary months later due to the actress's death. Sandra Bullock was rumored to have a role in the film, but revealed that she did not even know about the project. Despite the news, she did express interests in working in another action film and would have liked to appear in the film depending on the storyline.[7]
The role of the man who hires the Expendables, Mr. Church, was very difficult to cast. Initially offered to Schwarzenegger, he declined in favor of a smaller cameo due to his political career.[8] The role was then offered to Kurt Russell whose agent replied that he was not interested in "ensemble acting at the moment."[9] Stallone spent several months after principal photography determined to find a big action name for the part. Rumors suggested that the role had been offered to friend and fellow former Planet Hollywood co-owner Bruce Willis, who was busy filming Cop Out. Willis finally confirmed on August 17, that he will play Mr. Church and that his scene will feature himself, Sylvester Stallone, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.[10]
On October 26, Stallone, Willis and Schwarzenegger shot their scene in the Hollywood Presbyterian church in Los Angeles, marking the first time all three have appeared together on screen.[11]

Also:
So fucking glad Whitaker isn't in it.
Sad about Snipes.
Annoyed with Van Damme and Seagal.
Indifferent about Trejo and 50 Cent.
Strangely relieved about Britney Murphy, but sorry due to the circumstances.
Stallone should've asked Tony Jaa to be in it. Thailand needs to represent!
-
Just sounds awful, like that gay Valentine's Day movie.
-
I actually think it sounds pretty cool, but I mean after you get over all these guys being on the screen at the same time is it going to be any good after that?
-
Yes. It's going to be fucking awesome.
-
Just sounds awful, like that gay Valentine's Day movie.
What gay Valentine's Day movie?
-
The one they've been advertising.
-
I haven't been paying attention.
-
I don't know what he's talking about, either.
-
Bah, obvious answer was obvious. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine's_Day_(film)) Normally, I like segmented multi-story crap like this but it's bloated with so many names I can't stand I'll declare it instant fail.
-
HAHA, I didn't think it would actually be called Valentine's Day! I thought it was just about that. FAIL.
-
Will Expendables be a good film? Probably not.
Will Expendables be fun as all heck? Probably so. I'm hoping it is, at least.
-
The A-team movie also looks like epic fail.
-
I disagree.

Same here.
-
I disagree.
I agree with you disagreeing.
-
I disagree with your agreement.
-
Well I think your disagreement of my agreement of disagreement might be premature and wish to reach agreement to give said movie a chance to release a more agreeable trailer before finalizing disagreement.
-
I disagree.
-
Well agreement of kidnapping and the making of watching has been reached. Meet adjourned.
-
I disagree.
-
The meeting has been adjourned. New business must wait till the next meeting on June 13th.
There will be agreement of thanking me later for this.
-
I disagree with that.
-
None of you are disagreeing, only digressing.
-
I actually never disagreed only agreed with a disagreeing.
-

I disagree.
-
AH! I thought my monitor was broken. Turned out it was just the forum posters.
GET IT!? HA!
-
There are posters here? For the Expendables? I don't see them!

That's because you don't have a Rabbitinasuit.com Gold Account. Send me your credit card information and I'll register you. :tom:

DAMN NO!!!

I'm pretty sure še momentum of šat will carry my enjoyment far enough šat še film's plot won't have much work to do.
-
Also: A-Team had better be great, or 2010 is ruined.

I hope so. Would have been better with JCVD, Segal, and Tejo in there though.
-
Kurt Russell should've at least done a bit part. Then I could be all "Tango and Cash are back, jack!" But noooooooo. ::)

I think Tejo might still be busy with Machete. Am I thinking of the right guy? And Segal has his cop show now. JCVD? Eh.
-
Yeah you are thinking of the right guy.
"Are you a Mexican or a Mexican't?"
"I'm a MexiCAN!"
-
Trejo was great on last week's Burn Notice. I think they killed his character off, though.
-
"Trejo", you two. TRejo.

Spoiler alert! >:( >:( >:(
Nah, nah, it's cool, man, it's cool. I'll never watch that.
-
Plus, you know he'll die from the beginning. Super douchebag asshole pissing off the neighborhood.
You should watch Burn Notice. Aside from Lost, it's the best TV show on right now.
-
Too many shows, not enough time, don't have that channel, don't have the interest, comparing something to LOST makes me not want to see it, etc.
-
I've thought about giving Burn Notice a chance only because of Bruce. Course I still haven't given it that chance yet, but I've thought about it.
-

It's absolutely nothing like Lost. I like both. That's about it.
And yes, Bruce Campbell is in it. Which kicks ass. Also, explosions. YAY!
-
Other reasons still stand. At most, it'll be something I watch once it's over with on my own time. Also, you should've mentioned Bruce Campbell sooner. Shame, shame on you! :fingershake:
-
What about Ghost Hunters? Grant's hot
-
But he's Jay's bitch. I'm just waiting for the day he snaps and beats Jay to death with the FLIR.
-
And then they'll hunt Grant, whoever that is.
-
But he's Jay's bitch. I'm just waiting for the day he snaps and beats Jay to death with the FLIR.
He IS his bitch, you are right. It's so sad. Jay is such an asshole, I wish I could go to one of those tours they sell tickets for and tell Jay that hes an ass
-
Jay is a supreme asshole. I remember when that Andy guy was all happy cause they agreed to go someplace he wanted to investigate, but Jay didn't want to go. So instead of being constructive and helping anyway, he went outside and fished.
-
I meant they'll hunt Jay, obv.
-
Coco is going to Fox. I love it.

Official? Link?

Yeah we got it. Just didn't care.

Who's Andy?
-
Richter or Dick?
-
Andrews. Yes his name was really Andy Andrews. He was like in some of the early Ghost Hunter episodes and in the first season of Ghost Hunters: International. Dude keeps popping up only to disappear again.
-
Is he a gah gah gah gah ghooost?
-
Uh...no.
-
Jinkies!
-
Is he a gah gah gah gah ghooost?
:lmao: LMFAO! THIS WINS.

Oh that explains it. I think you were the only person watching that shit-ass show! go back to GH son. I've never watched the International one but with the guys that worked there (ie Brian, Dustin, etc) that was enough to keep me away.
-
I haven't watched either show in awhile now.
-
Last night, SNL had an odd sketch where they hosted a game show called 'what is Burn Notice', where they were making fun of it for being the Highest rated show on Cable. Since NBC is last in the ratings, you'd think they'd be more careful pointing out low ratings.
-
They haven't been. At all.
-

No, I wouldn't because everyone knows NBC's filled with morons.
-
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhmenaaaaaaaaaa.
-
They wouldn't let Conan be in Letterman's Superbowl ad that I wouldn't have seen anyway! It would've been like fucked up Mount Rushmore: Leno, Oprah, Letterman, and Conan. And they ruined it like the ruinerers they are!
-
Leno is jealous of Conan. I read somewhere yesterday that something like 65% of Leno's viewers won't watch his new show, based on what he did to Conan. Serves him right!
-
I'll believe it when I see it. And when I say "see it", I mean when I see the people not watching Leno not the show itself which I wouldn't watch anyway.
