The Playlist:
If "The Expendables 2" didn't meet your fill of Old Guys Doing Things, then let us recycle an old joke and introduce you to the Depends-ables (GET IT?). Al Pacino, Christopher Walken and Alan Arkin are up to no good in the first trailer for "Stand Up Guys" which once again finds some elderly dudes doing wacky stuff.
Penned by Noah Haidle, the story follows two friends and lifelong criminals, one of whom has been hired to kill his friend who just got out of the joint. They have one last night of fun hitting up a brothel, doing drugs, stealing cars and dodging police but it seems they are also going to learn LIFE LESSONS. It's from the producer of "Million Dollar Baby" for whatever that's worth, and is directed by Fisher Stevens ("Crazy Love," "Just A Kiss").
This looks pretty terrible, though just being able to watch Pacino, Walken and Arkin riff and share scenes may make it worth the price of admission. "Stand Up Guys" hits on January 11th. Watch below.

Old guys can be funny sometimes...this is a little different than the Expendables..no action...maybe one for a home dvd watch.
