I Hope he's happy!!!

This is an article I found on the new script for The Expendables. Im still a fan of the guy but not taking this movie was the nail in the coffin of his career. He's done! Here's the link and article.

Levity We read a seriously early draft before getting our hands on the newer version, and its a definite improvement, mostly because of the humor. The plot, featuring shady backroom dealing and double-crosses were also streamlined, but the movie earns points for its interest in quiet moments. There is a street scene where Christmas gets to put the smackdown on his ex's new beau that ends up as a slugfest between Statham and a few goons, a definite crowd-pleaser. Most interestingly, though, are the moments with Tool, the ex-Expendable written into the new script for Mickey Rourke. Tool, now retired and owning a tattoo parlor the group meets at, is a mellow, philosophizing character who gets a number of juicy lines and provides a lot of male camaraderie in his brief scenes. He never goes into battle, but we see he still maintains his skills when he chucks a knife into a wall poster of, you guessed it, Jean Claude Van Damme.
