Latest EXPENDABLES Behind The Scenes is out, and it hurts!

Published at:  Jul 29, 2010 6:31:06 PM CDT

Hey folks, Harry here with the latest proof of manhood and insanity from the biggest MEATBALL of them all, Stallone. Watching this 4th Behind the Scenes of THE EXPENDABLES is scary. But it is a familiar scary. I'll never forget Stallone fighing Hulk Hogan as THUNDERLIPS in ROCKY III. I remember watching that fight and just knowing that Hogan was killing Stallone. One thing Sly says in this video, "You can't fake gravity!" Well, you can... it involves tremendously insane wire rigs and stunt riggers and CG... but it doesn't look as good as this. Sly is the sort of star that sacrifices his body for his art. It has become a point of pride and a measure of who he is as a man. And all of that pays off in terms of the persona and the mystic behind the character. At this point we can believe Stallone can do just about everything, because he's survived... just about everything.

I'm seeing THE EXPENDABLES as part of the Alamo Drafthouse & Fantastic Fest's THE EXPENDABLES Cinemapocalypse!!! Where we'll be starting off at 10pm, Friday, August 6th - with the original awesomery known as DIE HARD (1988) - followed by I COME IN PEACE (1990) - followed by DEMOLITION MAN (1993) and ending with THE EXPENDABLES. That feels like the way a man should see this. Proper amount of alcohol, rowdy audience and a film that gets your ass back in the gym. Tickets go on sale Tomorrow!

    Fuck CGI Synthespian stand ins.
    Fuck body doubles with lotsa crappy quick cuts so you can't tell it's not the actor.
    This is the way you do a proper action scene. And yes, it *does* make a difference to the power and the integrity of the scene to actually see the actor getting down and dirty. Bravo Sly!

To YOU idiots & MORONS who say CGI looks fake- THAT'S WHEN IT'S POORLY DONE, ASSHOLE. WHEN DONE WELL (given the proper amount of Time & Money)- IT'S INDETECTIBLE. FUCKING IDIOTS. (BTW- for all the shit going out about INCEPTION having practically NO CGI--DID YOU KNOW THERE WERE 500-COUNT 'EM!- 500 CGI SHOTS IN THERE?!! WELL, MORON- WHERE WERE THEY? YOU TELL ME WHAT 500 SHOTS LOOKED FAKE. Fucking Fucking Cretins.

    It's impossible to sleep on the affected side. Absolutely impossible. If you use the shoulder too much it clicks and pops and hurts like a fucker. If you do average stuff it's totally bearable. I dealt with mine for 2 years. So while it's a shit injury to have, you can work around it. Just sucks is all.

    WHAT CGI HAS DONE

    by boogy110

    is ruin the wonder of movies. No longer our we thinking "wow, how did they do that?" or "That looks amazing." Now with CGI, it's expected. Not even the effects in the up comming Tron Legacy is impressive. Because we know it's all CGI and green screens or whatever.
    I'm not saying CGI doesn't have it's place. Of course not, without CGI our superhero movies would be utter shit. (except Superman).
    Ah supes, perfect example. In Donner's Superman; when ever they had a nice long shot of Supes landing or just taking off into the air...that looked AMAZING even if it was a simple wire. Superman returns...well everything looked like shit...looked like a video game on my xbox.
    So thank you Sly for what seems to be a true action movie.
    So john Chambers can suck it!

    Um, you ARE saying CG doesn't have its place. Yet, you praise it in the sentence before. Did you know it is MORE expensive to shoot CG than it is to shoot a model. Wrap your brain around that one. Also, you can always tell when a guy is on a wire in a movie.

    My best ever Die Hard viewing experience...

    by somerichs

    1989, I'm a senior in high school, and I and 3 of my friends go to visit one of their brothers at University of Arizona for a long weekend. We go to a showing of Die Hard in a theater on campus, and it's jam-packed with drunk college students (mostly guys). The audience reactions were epic, throughout the entire movie. It's actually one of my all-time favorite movie-going experiences, period. I imagine the upcoming event at the drafthouse will be pretty similar...

    Agreed... and amazingly, looking at the American Cinematographer article on Inception and then watching strung together bts clips on youtube, most likely from a press kit for editing purposes, much of that stuff was actually done in-camera... shit that I would have sworn was CG. So not only is it ruining shit that wasn't real to begin with, but now I'll see shots that were done for real and go, "Wow, that's amazing CGI..." And it's not even... anyway, Nolan, right now, is the king of practical in my book. Even the fucking tilting bar in Cilian Murphy's head was done practical... with the whole crew holding on, the dolly probably bolted to the fucking tracks, etc. I normally don't like to partake in the Nolan worship, but holy fuck... what an animal. Oh, and Sly is also an animal. I actually think he should be careful. Imagine the DIRECTOR goes out of commission and, oh, by the way, he's also the lead actor?
