    That's just Tracy Morgan. He's painfully unfunny. I can only handle him in small doses like SNL. He's actually the reason I can't continue to watch 30 Rock. He's just annoying...

    How long does he expect the "It's funny because i'm loud" thing to work?

    I can get by with Morgan, but too much can easily be annoying - and if 30 Rock didn't have Liz or Jack, I wouldn't watch it.

    I found him alright in Cop Out. I must give that flick another watch on its own sometime.

    Sounds interesting.

    As for Van Damme, I've been watching that ITV series "JCVD: Behind Closed Doors" and the last episode was on this week and Expendables 2 was mentioned - however no decision was made as JCVD is training for a fight that will be happening this summer, so I guess it depends on that and on scheduling etc.

    ...I'd just like to point out that almost every member of humanity is an idiot.
    That said, I can't wait for this movie, no matter who's in it!

    Not seen that episode yet!

    I really like JCVD's TV series... He comes across as being OK!

    It's a strange show - they make such a drama out of the most mundane things/not-all-that-dramatic-things (well, the editors and voice over people do anyway) - but I have kind of enjoyed it too. I hardly watch any of this "reality TV" stuff, so it doesn't do my head in. If they do another series, let's hope its a bit more exciting ... I was expecting us to see his training for the fight, but being that the fight isn't until this summer, we won't see any of that until a next series ... it'd be cool if he did Expendables 2. With all these names in the first one, it was kind of odd not having him in there - but then again, you don't want to totally overload yourself - save some names for the sequel(s) you know?

    Yeah, so the reality show is okay, and he seems like an honest dude - indeed he's very open about himself and his past. At times it's almost uncomfortable to watch, even. Yeah, I found the show oddly interesting.

    JCVD in it? But as a villain? Nice!

    Makes sense. I kept waiting for him to pop up in the original. Awesome.

    I'd be up for that!

    Although didn't he used to say he'd never play a bad guy? Then again, didn't Segal say he wouldn't die in a movie?
     
    Until he appeared in Machete ... where he finished himself off with a sword.


    Anyway - it'd be a wise decision by JCVD to appear in the flick, and I would like to see him as a bad guy for a change - I'm definitely up for The Expendables 2. I've got the 3-disc blu-ray and it's a quality package (the making-of, exclusive to that steelbook edition, is excellent, as is the Picture-in-Picture mode).

    As long as Expendables 2 is better than 1, I'll be happy... I liked the first, but felt it could be improved...

    Fair to say. I thought Rambo kicked more arse generally speaking, but I felt far less guilt for enjoying The Expendables.

    Only think I still am unclear on is why Stallone isn't writing & directing this one. Usually when you have a big hit you don't want to tinker too much? Dunno.
