One word, Expendable. Yea... It is so manly that it makes my balls hurt. All the humongous muscles, explosions, blood, vulgarity, etc. It is not a fantastic movie but hey, if you ever create a panel, ask them to create a movie with as much testosterone as possible, Expandable will be it (and I heard Chuck Norris joined in for the sequel, now there's enough testosterone to burst one's balls).

What is "manhood" exactly? Muscles, destruction, death, war, vulgarity, blah blah blah. And there's the other side, gentle, caring and all the other nice things. While both side seem equally important and relevant to the proving of one's manhood, I believe they are simply ideas we install to typify "man". In essence a man can be made up of qualities from both side or even neither side to truly be a man and the only reason for us to split them is so they could be used to judge others. For example, if I am a muscular man who gyms daily, I would probably directly link physical prowess with manhood. But if I am a bookworm I'll probably link things like gentleness or maybe intelligence with manhood. It is all about what you need. It is just a criteria to judge oneself and others. Isn't it?
