    Blowjob Brit article but funny comments

    by evilwizardglick

    The Brit article those photo's came from or are related too was about how fit Stallone is at 62. Well if I had his money I could afford the good steroids and plastic surgery too.
    Anyway the funniest part was them talking about Stallone doing some stunts like jumping in the water. I believe one of the lines was Stallone can jump in the water with the best of them.
    I guess his penis enhancement surgery never made the grade with Bridgitte.

  • Way to go Mr. Stallone! You are going to have the most awaited action film in 2010 with THE EXPENDABLES! You make Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson look like a bunch of pussy ass mother fuckers. You are a ripped tank ready to show the world once again there is NO ONE that matches you in the action genre right now. Not to knock your pal Jason Statham, but you even make him look like a small little man next to you. THE EXPENDABLES is going to be CON AIR times 10 in macho shit and box-office grosses. Once again Mr. Stallone, I must stress that you "must" give ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER some decent screen time scattered throughout the film. Even if Arnie shoots for 2 days, why not make the most of it and even if it's 5-10 minutes of screen time, scatter his scenes all over the film so he shows up here and there so his presence is felt. Make Schwarzenegger's role iconic with guns, bad ass lines and Arnie looking as pumped as you. STALLONE + SCHWARZENEGGER is what will sell THE EXPENDABLES all over the worldwide box-office.

    Stallone has been down to the crossroads

    by franklin t marmoset

    That is the only explanation for this.How in blue blazes did he go from being that guy off Driven and D-Tox and Spy Kids 3D to being the guy who brought us Rocky Balboa and Rambo and is about to bring us what will surely be THE action film of 2010, if not the entire noughties?Plus, that grizzly old bastard is in better shape than most guys half his age!The only rational conclusion you can come to is that he has done a deal with the devil. And if the hellhounds are coming for him, please let them get him after he's done with The Expendables.

    by grammaton cleric binks

    help but think that if someone else made that movie today they would have CGId the ribs breaking in the meat locker. It is too hard for Hollywood to come up with good screenplays and filming today without using CGI. Look at Charlton Heston in Ben-Hur. Today they would have CGId the whole chariot race. Chuck actually learned to drive a chariot, proving that he's a real man, and most action actors today are pale immitations.

    Please don't use CGI in this movie and ruin it! CGI does not "enhance the storytelling" it's just a terrible tool that film makers use when they are lazy. CGI will forever look like shit. I loved Rambo but it was obvious CGI was used. Please please please! NO CGI! I haven't seen a good old school action film with no CGI in...forever.

    I read in many placed he used HGH, which is not the same as Steroids. Yes, they are considered "performance enhancing drugs" and are generally frowned upon in the sports world, but HGH is legal to purchase, so Sly was within his rights.

    by chaimbensexyback

    As far as I know, none was used in Rambo. And that was pure hardcore actioning from just himself. With the cast he's got, and the massive balls each actor possesses, I doubt they would tolerate being CGI'd.

    ABking is partly right - not only will The Expendables own 2010, it will own the decade and the genre for time immemorial. The only thing greater will be Christian Bale's movies.

    CGI is NOT the antichrist!

    by derlanghaarige

    While I seriously hope that The Expandables will be as old school as possible, people should stop blaming CGI for everything. Yes, when it's done wrong, it can ruin a scene or even a whole movie (But this applies to everything, from acting, over cinematography to stuntwork and "handmade" special effects), but when it's done right, you don't even notice it! That's the reason why CGI has such a bad reputation: People don't notice the good CGI work so they think there never was some!
    Anyway, please Sly, give us the old school action movie that you promised us!

    CGI in Rambo

    by neosamurai85

    I'm pretty sure there were some cgi touch ups to the scene where Rambo cuts the general MOSTLY in half near the end. Also, the mushroom cloud explosion I'm almost positive had some elements to it. It's been awhile. I might have to have a beer and watch Rambo again after graduation... yeah... that would be nice.

    "over the hill Arnold" and CLIFFHANGER

    by abking

    Lets get one thing straight here..ARNOLD is not in as bad a shape as some of you would believe. Those photos that some idiot keeps reposting are old and some were photoshopped. More recent pics of Arnold on the beach came out several months ago and he looks good for a man who is not an action star at the moment, but a governor. Over the hill? PLEASE!!! As for CLIFFHANGER...that movie is one of the BEST ACTION SPECTACULARS ever made!!! The action, the stunts, the cinematography, the score, the bad guys and the special effects were 100% TOP NOTCH! CLIFFHANGER is a movie that was nominated (Best Special Effects, Sound effects and sound effects editing) for the seemless effects it had. If THE EXPENDABLES is gonna use CGI...please do it the way CLIFFHANGER did! As well as the way CLIFFHANGER did the trailers...those trailers KICKED FUCKING ASS!

    Please no more CGI blood...

    by fenrisulfr

    ... how about some old-school, blood packs hidden under the clothes? In the 80s and 90s, blood looked real. Nowadays it's the same CGI bloodspray crap that doesn't look real one bit (Unrated DH4 anyone?). And even in JOHN RAMBO... it was obvious the blood in the final battle was all CGI. It was spectacular, but still looked pretty fake at times.

    Cliffhanger used CGI here and there

    by skimn

    to expand sets and to blend matte lines, unlike nowadays where every inch of the screen is digital, with a virtual stuntman doing the stuntwork. Sorry to see Renny Harlin given B-movie assignments like the latest WWE movie with "actor" John Cena. Say DH2 was the weakest of the series if you must, but, I watched it recently and its still damned entertaining.As far as digital effects on a low budget, I'm still amazed that The Descent was mostly shot on set.

    Arnold will not be "back"...

    by fenrisulfr

    It'll just be cameos for fuck's sake. Arnold himself spoke to the ArnoldFans.com a few weeks ago... and didn't want to raise people's expectations. He said IF he was in T4, it'd be a very brief cameo. He didn't want the film to be sold on his name. Same for The Expendables, he mentioned something like he is walking out of a building and he and Sly run into each other, or something like that. It'd be a day of shoot. Just one scene. Unless Sly manages to convince him...

    Rambo was meh

    by bass ackwards

    I know this puts me in the minority, but there was nothing memorable about the last Rambo. And I dig Rambo, everyone likes first blood, and I dig the second and third a bunch too, they were great, big, fun spectacle, but the 4th was just lazy, there was no energy to it. We just got a lot of violence and blood instead of any decent gripping action, it was mostly watching guys shoot and watching other guys fall down. I will say the best part of that movie was the mercenaries, and since this film is all about mercenaries, that's already a plus. I just hope we get some decent action with these guys, instead of just watching an army of guys running into bullets. And ohyeah, holy shit Stallone looks ripped, no wonder he's been praising HGH (though I don't care what you take, HGH, steroids, etc, to get your body into that kind of shape, especially at 60, takes an extraordinary amount of effort and discipline).

    Kurt Russell Turns Sly Down (and acts like a jerk)

    by genrefanboy

    Man this film is going to be great but Sly posted the following on the web:
    "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"
    http://craigzablo.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=SlyTalk&action=display&thread=6492&page=1

    Feel sorry for Sly as the fans asked for Russell and so did Sly but sound like his agent is a total jerk and gave Sly the blow-off. Sad especially as Tango & Cash Bluray just came out as it spoils their chemistry in it a little now for me.
