Watched Expendables 3. Enjoyed Snipes & Gibson's scene chewing. Otherwise utter shit. Luckily, it reminded me of this gem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OXwVxIN_kA My gf called me a baby for tearing up after this scene. Rourke's emoting in this utterly kills me. Whatever.
It speaks infinitely to me of the "groups" that "release" movies that stuff like Expendables 3 and Transformers:AOE hit the internet hours after opening while worthwhile films that I actually want to watch sometimes never see the light of day.
Anyway not being gay I will watch E3 because Ronda Rousey's hot and I'm shallow and try to block out as much of the male bonding homo erotic overtones as I can.
Obviously, someone from The Academy leaked this. Must have been submitted for "Most Homo Erotic Thriller Since Greco-Roman Wrestling" category. In theaters, they have designed a limited edition popcorn bucket that allows one "bro" to insert his penis through the bottom while the other(s) appear to only be sharing the snack.Quote:

I was really dissapointed in the scripting, making optimus prime want to kill humanoids when in all other movies her wanted to protect the humans at all costs and even goes so far as to sacrifice himself.
Please, don't make a #5, you're just going to make it worse.
How about making Gobots or He-Man... or sheera.. or something else way cool.
Just my 2 cents worth!

This movie is a sort of summer camp rated 7,1 on IMDB due to the multiple teenagers at puberty who'd like to be trated as equals by adults and appreciated, maybe, just by the tipsy generation after 90's. I watched it thanks to Kate Winslet, I thought she made the main role, not that kiddo. I prayed to end it sooner and I'll promise I'll read the plot first.
2/10
Honestly liked Expendables 3. Sure, plenty of ways to pick it apart, but as a nonsensical shoot-em-up, it served its porpoise.
I give it 8/10 bullets for people who actually enjoy over-the-top action. The biggest downside comes from the protagonist team killing several hundred anonymous strangers, but flip the freak out when one of their own gets wounded. Yes, wounded.
I found it to be literally unwatchable.Quote:

Anyways I'm merely commenting so I can talk about how there was/is talk of an all female version of the Expendables which hopefully won't turn out like this.
Jesus Christ,Bridget Nielsen:sick:,not that anyone in that cast hasn't been hit very hard by the ugly stick.
Bridget Nielsen wasn't hot when she was in her "prime". Never got the appeal except potential ghey musclemen in denial. :idunno:Quote:

Come to think of it, an all female cast of "Expendables" in Hollywood would include any woman over the age of 30. :mellow:
Just made my way through Lucy. The premise is that Scarlett Johansson gets a drug in her system which "unlocks" the potential of the human mind/body. Even setting aside the flawed notion that we only utilize 10% of our brains, the movie still stinks. SJ is always nice to look at, which made the 90-ish minutes bearable, but there are so many plot points that are cringe worthy that the whole thing becomes a waste. Any philosophical-ish points in the film can be seen in Her which was less action-packed, but a better overall carrier of the concepts.
As Idol would tell you, I have a decent tolerance for accepting movies for what they are. Heck, I even liked Expendables 3. This one doesn't even hold as much "respect" for the audience. Not quite as bad as Noah, but approaches it. Luc Besson wrote the thing, which surprised the heck out of me when I saw his name in the credits.
I must be wrong here because IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes give it a 6.3 and 63%, respectively. And it has grossed $101,348,300 (USA)(13 August 2014). :idunno:
