annwfynSo, I've now seen the Expandables.
After some consideration and conversation withksirafai, we (the team who defended the A Team on feminist grounds and fought off accusations of sexism in it) would like to say that the Expendables is definitely a sexist movie.
Well, that or a touching 'Brokeback Mountain' style love story between Sylvester Stallone and Jason Stratham, with a couple of women who insisted on trying to get between them. That also works.
We were also speculating as to whether their special magic attack plane sprayed forth petrol (which they could then set on fire to blow up bad guys with) or sheer testosterone.
We think the latter. It came from their sweat. And the testosterone they didn't use as a weapon, they drank!
Next up, the Sorceror's Apprentice next week!
