It’s Eat, Pray, Love versus The Expendables this weekend at the box office. Have you picked a side? The fan-made trailer (embedded above) earned hundreds of thousands of views by bashing adaptations of Twilight, Julie & Julia, and the Elizabeth Gilbert novel–urging men to see the male-centric film The Expendables instead.
Here’s an excerpt from the explosive fan made trailer: “AUGUST 13TH YOU WILL SEE THIS MOVIE NOT OFF YOUR TORRENTS IN A F**ING THEATER WHERE VIOLENCE BELONGS. IF WE DON’T? IF THIS LOSES TO EAT, PRAY, LOVE? YOU DON’T DESERVE TO BE A MAN.”
What do you think? Could The Expendables–directed by Sylvester Stallone and starring everybody from Jet Li to Mickey Rourke to Jason Statham–put up a fight against Eat, Pray, Love?
FULL DISCLOSURE: Despite the reviews, this GalleyCat editor is headed to The Expendables this evening.
