l’s e g o V k n a r More of F

Useless Information CLASSIC CAR SHOW . . . IS STILL ON Love doesn’t make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile. Franklin Jones

BAD JOKE Two sardines are discussing tennis, and one says, “I’ve got a great idea, let’s go to forest hills this year.” “How would we get there?” says the second. “On the long island rail road.” says the first. “What, and get packed in like commuters?” Contrary to rampant rumors circulating about the cancellation of the Boardwalk Classic Car Show, the show will be held as usual at the same time it has always been held. And also contrary to other rampant rumors, the “rumored” cancellation had nothing to do with Mayor Troiano, as reported by very reliable sources. Ernie’s been blamed for everything from bad weather to well . . . everything else. Part of being the “Big Dog” . . . not an easy job being Mayor of Wildwood. I think Ernie’s done a great job with a good vision of where he wants Wildwood to be in years to come. Plus he’s got a good supporting crew in Pete Byron and Tony Leonetti. The car show brings a lot of people into town, but it does create problems for the city which is probably why the rumors got started in the first place. Anyone riding down the street after that weekend can appreciate the damage that is done to our streets. Anyway, the show is on and it’ll be as good as ever. Great weekend . . . Irish Festival in North Wildwood and Seafarer’s in the Crest. The protest against having RV’s on the beach apparently had the desired effect of having the project shelved for the time being. Personally I’d like to see the idea shelved permanently. Just never seemed like a good idea with a lot of potential problems that would offset any revenue generated. So, we have democracy in action in the Wildwoods. Good job!

ANOTHER BAD JOKE An elderly snake went to the doctor and told him, “Doc, my eyesight is so bad,I can’t see to hunt any more. I think I need a pair of glasses.” So the doctor fixed the snake up with a pair of glasses and told him to come back if he still couldn’t manage. Two weeks later, the snake was back in the doctor’s office. “I’m depressed,” he complained. “Why, what’s the problem?” Asked the doctor. “Haven’t the glasses helped?” “The glasses are fine,” sighed the snake. “But I’ve discovered that I’ve been living with a garden hose for the past three years.” CREDULOUS AND INCREDULOUS FACTS: • Table salt is the only commodity that hasn’t risen dramatically in price in the last 150 years. • Burger King uses approximately 1/2 million pounds of bacon every month in its restaurants. • There are more than 200 kinds of chili peppers, none of which belong to the pepper family. • The Fortune Cookie was invented in 1916 by George Jung, a Los Angelis noodlemaker. • Native Americans never actually ate turkey: killing such a timid bird was thought to induce laziness. • The Ritz cracker was inroduced to markets in 1934, but gourmets had to wait until 1935 for the invention of cheese in a can.

Movie Reviews There were early internet rumours suggesting The Expendables 2 would wuss out of an R Rating in favour of a PG-13 certificate. Thankfully, this proved untrue. With Arnie and Bruce returning to the cast in meatier roles, and Jean-Claude Van Damme now in the mix, The Expendables 2 promises to be bigger, better and bloodier than ever. It’s hard to argue they don’t live up to that. Arnie is given his grand return to the screen in an electric action opening, where the Expendables are finishing up their latest mission. Barney Ross (Stallone), Lee Christmas (Statham), Gunnar (Lundgren), and co are joined by fresh-faced army sniper Billy ‘The Kid’ (Hemsworth) in blowing stuff up and shooting people in the face (I think they were rescuing a billionaire of something). Upon their return, Bruce Willis’ Mr Church sends them off on a mission to ‘make them even’ – recovering the contents of a safe from a downed plane in Bulgaria, where they will also be joined by sexy Chinese agent Maggie, much to the snarls of Sly. But when they’re ambushed by none other than Jean-Claude Van Damme (he’s called ‘Vilain’!) and his sinister party of rival mercenaries, the mission goes to hell. Soon Sly is ignoring Church’s command and on the hunt for ‘Vilain’ to extract his revenge. Van Damme absolutely shines, strutting around a mine wearing his swag sunglasses and designer coat; the hallmarks of a criminal mastermind if there ever was one. When the movie tries to go deep and emotional, it’s hilarious. Take Sly opening up about a teammates’s death, it’s difficult to tell if it’s meant to be heartfelt or not – and as the next of kin is handed their belongings and looks at the enclosed photograph… its borderline spoof. Of course such trivial matters as ‘characterisation’ and ‘plot’ play second fiddle to the cast revelling in the glory days of their careers. There are dialogue nods to Arnie’s back catalogue especially (play the “I’ll Be Back” drinking game), including a delightful swapping of catchphrases between Arnie and Bruce during a shootout, which is as good as it sounds. It has to be said, there is a LOT of filler. The Expendables gang love a bit of banter between laying waste to Van Damme’s henchmen, mostly making fun of Randy Couture’s ears (who is basically a prop after all). Gunnar muffles something about not having much luck with the ladies, staking a claim to rival Bane for this summer’s most incomprehensible speech. With his name and face plastered over all the pre-publicity, it’s a bit bizarre Jet Li only gets about five minutes screen time, which pretty much epitomises the ‘thanks for turning out’ mantra. It’s difficult to juggle such ensembles, even in this post-Avengers era, and it’s this element that’s obviously the main selling point. Of course you all noticed Chuck Norris’ name on the poster too, and his cameos are a testament to a man who has officially evolved beyond parody of himself. “Is it true you were bitten by a Cobra?” asks Sly. “Yes, but after five days of agonising pain… the Cobra died.” The Expendables 2 really is wonderfully ridiculous entertainment, and genuinely great fun. There’s probably room for one more great action set piece, but we’ll let them off because they’re knocking on a bit… As Sly says himself in a big juicy metaphor: “That thing belongs in a museum”, “We all do” quips a beaming Arnie. Brilliant.
