F-STOP: THE EXPENDABLES

5 Apr 2010, by Wook

The trailer for The Expendables fills me with the same giddy expectation that teased my inner ’80s action hero a few years back when the Rambo reboot reared its mulletesque head – meaning I’ll relish the film best as a 3-minute short and never take the time to watch it in its entirety.

Before I reveal just how horrible I am, let me note two things. One, I am married to a woman who agrees with you. Secondly, I do this because I know all too well the frustration of searching high and low in vain for employment that actually is creatively rewarding AND makealivingable on the vessel known as Craigslist. Rarely, do these requirements meet, and it’s in those heedy times when no one else is returning your calls in the “legitimate world” that one actually contemplates taking on a gig – something, anything – for free. You quickly sell yourself on a perceived gain – creative contacts, future employ, etc – and then immediately recoil once communication begins. Because let’s face it – someone, anyone, asking for the world without a displaying a modicum of empathy is, for lack of a better phrase, a flaming asshole.

Last week, I openly mocked a post that fit all the parameters of what makes one’s Craigslist job query blood boil. And then in the comfort of my own employment, I decided to fight back, because in these times, I want to be everywhere. Wherever you can look – wherever there’s a fight, so hungry people can eat, I’ll be there. Wherever there’s a cop beatin’ up a guy, I’ll be there. I’ll be in the way guys cry when frustrated. And when the kids laugh at their dads crying, I’ll be there, too.

And when I can’t be there, I’ll cast this year’s Academy Award winning duo of Jeff Bridges and Sandra Bullock to re-enact my email exchange with one Sade1. So without further ado, no grammatical tweaks and dedicated to you, d…THE WOOKIEE STRIKES BACK!

Because without question, a father introduces his spawn to the fine art of consumerism for completely selfish reasons. These are obviously for me to better live vicariously through them. Don’t hate, admire.

Craigslist. Nary has there been a platform that consistently pleads for more while offering next to nothing. Even the sorcerer’s apprentice got a magic broom.

Not frenzied over True Blood, and all but virginal where Big Love is concerned, so I’m all but forgiven for throwing the monthly dollar dollar bills towards other pursuits (venti bolds, taxes). But damn, these hurt. First Scorsese, and now, Team Wire resurfaces with Treme.

Fuck it. I’m crying “uncle” if Kenny Powers returns.
