At the following press conference Van Damme explains why he is playing in Sylvester Stallones Testosteron Action banger “The Expendables” rejected:
[…] To be in the movie, and after JCVD and EAGLE PATH and it was between that, he said: «I want you to be in THE EXPENDABLES» and I said: «Whats my character?» And he go: «You know JC, you gonna make lots of money, doesn't matter, you gonna make money. And we go: BOOM, BOOM, BOOM.” […] Yeah, I understand, but I would like to know what am I doing?” […] “Well you know, you’re gonna talk to Jet Li and you’re gonna have a fight.” And I say: “Keep It.” And he thinks I am a kid. He go: “You know, you win the fight, then I am coming in and boom, boom, boom.” And I said: «What do you mean? BOOM, BOOM, BOOM? What's my story?" […] “Who gives a fuck, you gonna make money.” And I said: «SLY I cannot work this way.» And then he hangs up on me. Then I call him back like an idiot, an idiot […] He go: “Ey, this is very insulting, and you insulting me, you.” […] I said: «SLY, when I saw ROCKY I put the bun on my head and I run like I thought I was Rocky.» That was my end story with THE EXPENDABLES.

More for you:
"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever 
I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
