This trailer is fucking awesome. And you know, it makes a good point. Gentlemen, what are we doing? Twilight rules the box office? We're crying at Toy Story 3 and admitting it? Despicable Me is our favorite movie of the year so far?
One month from today, on August 13th, we must go to the theater with our manly chums and watch Arnold, Sly, Bruce, Statham, Li, Austin, Rourke, Dolph, etc. blow up whatever 3rd world country they're in to smithereens! Like men!

If I had to nitpick this statement just a little bit, the first Rambo movie doesn't fit this characterization in the slightest. Only one death the entire movie and very much character driven IMHO.
Also, the first two Rambo movies were awesome! Fact!

This is why I love the title to Adam Carolla's upcoming book, "In Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks".
I've never seen the F word in a movie trailer before. Is this being shown in theaters?

It's a fan-made trailer.
It is the policy of the documentary crew to remain true observers and not interfere with its subjects. "Well. Shit." -hansen9j Let's Go Riders! (2-0, T-1st West Division)
The mere idea of this movie is awesome and has me curious enough to plan to see it on opening day instead of waiting for it on DVD like I do for almost every other movie that comes out these days. I'm too much of a mark for ensemble casts of superstars to wait for this one.
I have to ask though: how many of these big name action stars just have bit parts or cameos just so the filmmakers could say "[insert name of action star that will get a pop] is in it too!!!" For example, the movie's IMDB page (imdb.com) has a credited cast list of about a dozen actors that includes some pretty big names (Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, etc.), but it's not until you get to the "rest of cast listed alphabetically" section that you see names like Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger. And even Mickey Rourke is at the bottom of the credited cast list, well after Stone Cold and just after Terry Crews (who is certainly built like an action star but is a comedian through and through). Doesn't that usually denote a less significant role for the actor whose name appears that late?
(edit: apparently Bruce Willis confirmed awhile ago [aceshowbiz.com] that he's only making a cameo appearance, although that article was written before any scenes were filmed so I suppose he could have ended up playing a more important role)
Also, I can't decide if leaving out The Rock (assuming he didn't decline to be a part of the movie) if an oversight. He certainly seemed to be poised to be the next big action star at one point in his career, but it seems these days he's content cashing huge paychecks for starring in kids' movies. Then again, I just heard yesterday afternoon that he's going to be in "Fast Five" (imdb.com), the next movie in the Fast and the Furious series. If Terry Crews was included for comic relief like I'm guessing, I wouldn't mind seeing The Rock playing that role instead. I'm not sure it'd make good business sense to spend a bunch of extra nickels on The Rock instead of Terry Crews, but with a star-studded cast like this I can't imagine any one actor is getting paid a whole lot up front anyway.
(And speaking of the FatF movies, no Vin Diesel either?! Okay, maybe I'm just getting greedy now. heh)
I admit, this thing looks cool. How could it not, it has most of my childhood heroes in it!
I am glad in a way Rock is not in it, maybe this will give Austin the big break he needs. Plus, doesn't the Rock shy away from these non Disney/family type flicks these days?
"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."
Is this in 3-D? Cause I apparently don't go to see 2-D movies anymore.
Sorry, Scott Pilgrim, you're gonna have to wait another week. I will see this with pride and do whatever the hell I can to help destroy Julia Roberts.
And, I can go see this movie confident that I won't have to see ANOTHER trailer for that fucking owl movie. If I have to see that again, I'm going to cry.
Not sure about soulless, even though she seems to try to act like that. However the self help video/recordings that she has shows that she's still vulnerable.
