Jedijet, thank you so much for the updates and all the pictures.  Just awesome.   I actually feel like I am right there.  It is a funny kind of weird feeling.  It is good.  I can't wait for more updates and pictures.  Keep up the good work.  Question for you Jedijet.  What about your stories?  You have not share any with us lately.

Your welcome my friend, I'm happy to do it. Hopefully the updates will get even better as they go along.

Are you talking about my writings or just general stuff about me? If it's my writings then well then to tell you the truth I'm going through writers block. I can't really come up with or finish anything at the moment and its so frustrating. Its weird I go through phases where I'll write for a few weeks, get bored then mess around with my art for a few weeks. Its a never ending cycle where I have loads of unfinished work lol.

Twitter Update last night

'm testing the adage good things come to those who wait...and wait....and wait...

actionflicks and the badasses (male & female) who make them. Arnold andSly set the bar, rebuked stereotyping and gave us all some of the mostmemorable moments on film. So when I have the privilege of standing inthe middle of what is The Expendables set, in Rio de Janeiro, I have topose the question…how lucky am I!!!! Watching Sly act and direct andbeing on the set with Randy Couture (not to mention the afore swoonedover Jet Li, the totally manned up Statham, the gloriously beautifulTerry Crews and of course “the Man” himself, Sylvester Stallone) I amgrateful for a fortunate life. there’s no disputing Randy Courture is atough guy but yesterday when I sat down with him at lunch - wellactually dinner since it was 11:30pm - I got a glimpse of who he is…adetermined focused down to earth athlete who enjoys what he does andwho he is. All the fems on the show are now formally in love with him.Then there’s Terry Crews…magnificent man clad in a magnificent body. Iworked with Terry on his first film - “The Sixth Day” with Arnold andalthough he wasn’t convinced I knew he would one day be living thedream. He is a sweet caring man who is grateful for his good fortune.Both Randy & Terry are really gracious towards the fans. so yagotta love that. Tonight is our last night of shooting main unit herein Brazil - second unit will continue for a few days in Mangartiba. Ihave mixed feelings about leaving Rio…this hasn’t been an easy 3 weeksof shooting (I’ve been here a month) and aside from the normal problemsof working in a foreign country I have really enjoyed the experience.I’ve learned a lot about the Brazilian culture, made a few mistakes (Iinadvertently made a tourism person cry) and had a few laughs. But mostof all I’ve made a few friends who I cherish and am grateful to forhelping me through this adventure. As I said…how lucky am I. Morelater. Ciao tscau for now.

So , no photos about Jet .

JediJet, sad that you have not finished your writings.  I enjoyed the stories.  Writer's block, I have heard of that.  Maybe when you are done with the movie you will be able to go back and finish some of them.  Thank you for the insight on Terry and Randy.  What did you say to make the local cry?

Thanks martialartslove I appreciate that.

cool update.Jets birthday  BQ: We went to what was recommended as Rio'sbest BBQ. Jet wasn't very familiar with the different types of meat, sothe poor guy in green ended up eating most of Jet's "try outs"

The second pic:  
Hungry bee: While standing in line on CorcovadoHill, we bought some soda from vendors. It was a hot day, andapparently bees nearby were as thirsty as we were. After Jet opened hiscoke a bee crawled in unnoticed. Jet takes a swig and ratherunceremoniously spits out the coke along with the bee. In the end bothwere OK-Jet didn't get stung and the bee shrugged off the soda and flewaway.

pic 3:
Mountain top view: before arriving on CorcovadoHill we stopped by a nearby mountain top to take in the view. Brazil'sbeauty was absolutely stunning. Jet and the crew at the top:

Hahaha, lucky bee, on so many levels.  

I wondered if Jet eats meat.  I guess he does even if it's just a little.  We have a Brazilian Steak House around here.  It's very popular.  It's beef appetizers with beef entrees, beef side dishes, and beef desserts.  Yep, ya gotta love beef if you go there.

Couture-Nogueira test run?
By Loretta Hunt (lhunt@sherdog.com)

Will Couture get a test run?

Sunday, 12:10 a.m. ET: If Sylvester Stallone has his way, Randy Couture and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira will lay hands on each other long before they enter the Octagon.  

The legendary couple is slated to face one another in a heavyweightcontest at UFC 102 on Aug. 29 in Portland, Ore. But before fans see theformer UFC champion and his Pride counterpart come to blows, Stallonemight orchestrate a test run in his new film “The Expendables,” currently shooting in Brazil.

Couture -- a budding thespian who’s had roles in “The Scorpion King 2”and the CBS military series “The Unit” -- plays “Toll Road,” one offive mercenaries sent to South America to overthrow a dictatoralongside action movie staples Jet Li, Jason Statham, and Stallone, whoalso directs.

Nogueira, and his twin brother Rogerio, also play soldiers in the flick.  

Couture finished his initial scenes in Brazil this week, where the45-year-old’s rigorous training schedule evidently came in handy.

“We shot from 5 p.m. to 5 a.m., and I was so jacked up,”Couture told Sherdog.com. “I never felt tired and had to wind down foran hour or so before I could go to sleep.”

Couture is on a two-week hiatus until May 10, when reunites with theteam in New Orleans to continue shooting for the adrenaline-lacedblockbuster. Select scenes have been re-scheduled to go down in the BigEasy due to inclement weather and production issues in Brazil.

As for working with the big screen’s original underdog?

“Sly was very intense, but also very in tune with the otheractors and what needed to come across in the scenes,” said Couture.“Shooting went great.”

“The Expendables” is scheduled to swoop into theatres in April 2010.

Where did you get the picture of Jet and his entourage?  Who are those folks?  

Wow, Jet's hair is long.

He got those last set of pics from Jet's official Facebook page. ;-)

http://www.facebook.com/JetLi

Yep i sure did. Looks like they're finally going to start updating the page. Also you should check out the video that was posted as well. Very beautiful I thought.

Speaking of the pics though, The one with the bee is funny but it freaks me out ( I have a real phobia). You see the size of the thing? Jet must of spat the whole can of coke out lol. I would love to see the pic of him spitting the bee out and freaking out lol. I doubt we'll ever see that though lol.

thanks for the photos , i'm happy to see Jet.       .   Happily no problem with the bee.  He have seen   nice wiews.

I 've forgotten ,thanks for the link of facebook.

I didn't know Jet had an official Facebook page.  I thought his official stuff ran through AnD. Hmmm, at least it should be linked over here.  

I'll have to check it out Cass.  Thanks.

Do you know who those folks are in his "entourage" and do you further know how I could become one of them?  

It is set up where any blogs posted on here automatically gets fed into his Facebook page, but not sure if there's a way for them to do it vice-versa.

I do know one of them. As I recall, they just went through the same kind of interview process we go through when applying for a job. How one finds out about these opportunities is another thing.

they'll have a two weekbreak then start shooting and during this two week break there will bea small footage to be released to show us the "THE EXPENDABLES" thepublisct said it (ABOUT THE FOOTAGe) as for jason statham he said on his twitter account: "This stop in filming is just a little break for us, there's nothing wrong, haha! I'll probably go travelling around the place." "Sly's plan is to film in New Orleans next.
