This is America…

So my buddy showed me this the other day, and it makes me really wish we had HBO at home/it was free here at school. Show comes out next fall, but looks pretty awesome.

Help: As seen on TV

So don’t ask me how I remember this, but a long time ago I can recall one of my dad’s stories about how he saw this student film in college where these guys did a mock-music video of the Beatles song “I’m a Loser” where they act like losers. Anyways this video made me remember said story and I felt the need to share it as well as this:

(I probably should preface this as a megamix of “As seen on TV” infomercials clips of people who are “tired of doing things THE OLD WAY?”)

Dream Team 2010

So when I was younger my dad and I would watch shows like Timetrax and Highlander. If for whatever these sucked (which they rarely did), we’d either go see or rent an action film. Yes, the action heroes of my childhood included Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Van Dam, the list goes on and on. I often contemplated what a movie starring all of them as good guys would turn out like. It seems like somewhere in Hollywood someone else was of a similar mindset, but came up with a cast that spans more than one generation, multiple genres of film, and even different types of celebrity. While catching Kick-Ass! in the theater this week I caught the preview for The Expendables. The cast is stacked with Sly Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Eric Roberts, Terry Crews, Steve Austin, Randy Couture, Bruce Willis, Danny Trejo, and Brittany Murphy. I always wanted to know what the maximum level of bad-assery was, and I think we’re about to experience it.
