My good friend Jamie used to travel a lot for her job and when she got back from her trips she would post to her blog "5 things I learned about ________." These were always hilarious. You should check out her stuff at phaino.blogspot.com. In honor of her idea, I'm doing a 5 Things I Learned From The Expendables.
1. Dolph Lundgren wasn't using an accent during Rocky IV - he just can't speak.
2. Stallone definitely gets in shape using a Bowflex and personal chef. Just kidding. He uses steroids. Lots of them. No one 60 years old is as big as he is naturally. (Quick aside: The icons of our youth die hard ... I've always wanted to believe that Rocky and the Hulkster did it the natural way. Pretty tough to dispute as they stay the same size into their 50s/60s.)
3. When in doubt - MORE EXPLOSIONS!!!
4. If you ever go on a vacation and see lots of pictures of the leader of the country dressed in fatigues, just go ahead and shorten your trip. These guys don't wear those uniforms because they're more comfortable than suits.
5. Eric Roberts must be a bad guy in real life. At this point, if I met him I'd assume he was going to steal my wallet, my wife, or both. Couldn't he get Julia to produce a movie where he's a good guy just once?
hey, I'm Jamie!
