Pure self parody if you ask me, gold at that!

IMO there so bad, they're enjoyable for what the movie is... The actions heros from the 90s and 00s saying good bye!

But their movies from the 70, 80 and 90 were INFINITELY BETTER imo.

The first Rocky (76) was actually a very good movie. First Blood (82, the first rambo) was and still is an underrated movie imo.

Terminator (84) and Terminator 2 (91) were great movies. Predator (87) was and still is much much better than most horror crap seen on the big screen today. Total Recall (90) albeit cheesy was a good movie.

Die Hard (88) is the prime example of an awesome action flick that most people can enjoy (not just action flicks fans).

Hero (2002) and Fearless (2006) are very good too.

I understand The Expendanbles is an homage and a parody. But the first one was still very disappointing to me. It was simply not a good movie. Those guys did not become the legends they are by making average movies like The Expendables. Had the movie featured only guys like JCVD maybe i would have expected less from it.

At close 67 years old i think it's the time for stallone to start making movie where he plays an old guy or to simply retire ...

He's kinda awful, but I think he needs to appear

What's awful about him? He's gained some pounds and was really popular in the 90's iirc. He's still badass though and I'd love to see him in E3 if he dropped some pounds.

I agree and being that they aren't average stars, they could probably cough up something better, however, what are the odds, that all of the involved would be able to do so? JCVD is stuck in universal soldier, steven segal got lost in directo to video. So what i'm trying to say is, better to have a sorta homage, albeit an average ( but enjoyable, by my terms at least), than several crappy individual straight to dvd ones.

They need a Gina Carano Vs Michelle Yeoh scene in there. I say Gina Carano instead of an active, top female fighter because I don't want any more Rhonda Rousey in my life. Plus she likely wouldn't take time out to act.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap

      After enabling it in about:config, customize, density, compact; the toolbar/address bar gets smaller vertically. I enabled Nova, I notice the tab bar/title bar is a bit larger vertically now? Everything always becomes a waste of space.
    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
