And read this:

I have a message for those of you guys who still remembers what it means to be an action movie fan and knows that "ruthless aggression" is not a feeling when in GTA you have invulnerability and infinite ammo. Hell no! It's when blood mixed with adrenaline typhoon boils in your veins and you absolutely positively have to destroy anything that stands in your way, and you are hellbent on doing it, no matter if this is 6 ft jock jacked up with muscles, store shelf with "Grey's Anatomy" DVDs (ARRRRRRGH!!!:mad:) or an army tank! If you know how it feels then your time is coming! August 13th!

Did 00s put you in hibernation? If not then how come you, men, allowed "Sex and the City", "Twilight Saga", Hannah Montana, Jonas Brothers, "HSM" and tons of other **** to fill your cinema screens, your internets and your minds? I'll tell you how - because you let this happen, your minds are weak and limped, your hands forgot about weights bigger than X-Box gamepads and you are like "yeah, like... you know... whatever". What would have happened if Sly have said "I'll be like, you know, banging chicks on camera and be Italian Stallion and that script of mine about that boxing dude, it's like... whatever" or Arnold have said "I'll just keep, you know, pumping muscles and, like, smoking pot till my 40s and then ... whatever"? Nothing good! It's time for you to wake up and smell the rock bottom! 00s took true action movies from you, replaced it with plastic ****, but now it's payback time and you know what they say about payback! August 13th!

At August 13th it's time for you to decide - will you stay pussy-whipped zombie by following your girlfriend on "EPL" premiere or will you rise from ashes and go to see true men in "The Expendables"!

Long story short - grab what's left of stuff that makes you man in one hand, your money in other and run like hell to theatres because that line up of washed-up action heroes in "The Expendables" are here not for your dollar, they are here to remind you about being a man.

And I pity the fools who will download movie from torrents instead of enjoying gore and intense violence on big screen. I do, I do! Use torrents for helping your comrades to download 0.92 release, enjoy movie in theatres and come back here for new portions of guns and glory.

Peace.

I am a fan of the action movie genre, am also dismayed at the way cinema and TV has gone and look forward to seeing the Expendables. However saying "GO SEE THIS MOVIE OR YOU'RE NOT A MAN, IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT THE WAY MOVIES ARE GOING" is not a good way to promote anything.

Ever considered that the movie might actually turn out to be a disappointment? A famous ensemble cast doesn't automatically equal a good movie. Anyone familiar with the history of action movies should know they can easily miss the mark, especially nowadays.

You probably enjoyed Twilight, your argument is invalid.

Nosferatu's blogs/posts are always epic! Actually thats the 1st non PR related blog I didnt close with an angry/disappointed face

Dear readers, sometimes, in the heat of emotional breakdown or debates, we all could lose ourselves and do mistakes. Thanks to comment of cautious forum user here I realised how overzealous I could be. So here's how this blog entry should be written from position of restrained person:

Gentlemen, it came to my attention that there is a bunch of old B-movie "stars" and funny guy from "Everybody hates Chris", who, for reason unknown consider themselves capable to make another 13th out of dozen B-movie about mercs actually succesful. Yeah, like we are still in 80s. Jeesh. You have seen some of them on TV recently, while they were drunk or high or both, and some of them in movie theaters while you've been kids and sneaked inside to see adult movies illegally. Back in the days those oldboys knew how to hold gun right, spit out stupid jokes with strong Austrain accent or some unidentified jibberish thanks to paralyzed face muscles and you've wondered how cool it would be to see them together in one movie. Your chance is kind of near, however I must warn you that they could fail!

Please excuse me if you feel some kind of pressure, I never meant to harm your personalities by pressing. We all live in 21st century and there is nothing wrong now to live with gender of your own choice! Manly Zack Efron, Robert Pattinson - here are iconic men of our time. You know what, I have fabulous news for you: at August 13th Julia Roberts will carry away your soul in romantic, exotic and spiritual journey into woman's soul - this is what we all need from time to time. Or you could go and see gang of seroid junkies going crazy on violence, explicit language and racial jokes. Choice is yours...

Nah, Your mindless assumption fails.

Preaching about what makes someone 'a man' and what everyone's taste in movies should be, aren't going to help promote the Expendables or the action genre. I'd like to say what it does instead but that wouldn't be very nice.

definitely paid to say that, even though this movie will probs be a couple hours of awesomness

Do you really fail to see the obvious irony and/or sarcasm in the posts you have commented on?

Btw, Nos, I'm with you all way! Long live Arnold! Long live Stallone!

I wish they could have crammed Chuck Norris in there too. Oh and Ahnold is obviously missing. Jet Li is a decent substitute for Bruce Lee.

Dont doubt the movie is gonna be pretty lame but still going to see cuz its gonna be awesome (yea thats an oxymoron for you).

Yep. You fail to excuse Smeggy's straw man assumption and Nos's rant, which if any non-dev had posted would of received a swift infraction and closure.

Nosferatu as a russian should have promoted 'burnt by the sun 2' the same way, both films are to be of similar degree of pathos and most likely will be of comparable degree of stupidity and idiocy.

As shameless straight-forward promoter (and what even worse - Russian), I'm always open for interesting commercial proposals!
