Ah I see, the 'expendables' in the film The Expendables refers to anyone who isn't a main character

I would have hoped thoughtless massacring of henchmen was passé after Austin Powers but here we are

do you remember the super villain's code of conduct? (my legions of henchmen will wear clear face shields, etc) every time I see Hollywood do this I start yelling 'but what of Timmy's step-dad and his devoted service?'

… but why are you watching The Expendables when you could be watching The Meg, Matthew? The Meg is both awful AND has a giant cgi shark in it. And it has The Stath in it. (I have no idea why I’m wittering on about The Meg. It’s 2am and I shouldn’t be awake, but I am, so here we are)
