Off the beatin path a little

I know it's off the beaten path a little but I guess ole Sylvester Stallone is coming out with his new movie John Rambo (Rambo IV) and the previews like tight. I can see that I'll have to add a 50 cal in my PSK. http://www.firstshowing.net/2007/05/19/john-rambo-iv-feature-trailer

Rambo IV

Those film-makers really have nothing better to do, do they...

I know, he's what in his 60's?

I guess this explains why he was arrested in Australia carrying all of those human growth hormone injectables.

He's like some survival-rations: expired

If you wanna see a good jungle survival/war movie, look for Rescue Dawn .It's based on a true story that happened to Dieter Dengler a pilot that was shot down during the Vietnam war.It stars Christian Bale, the guy that plays the new Batman.

or for the greatest war movie ever made without a shot being fired; 'THE HILL' (1965) starring Sean Connery.

I wish that I had been in the condition at 18 that he is at 82 (or whatever age he is). Minus the chemical help of course.

I also wish he could act...

Oh, I think Stallone's okay when playing his stereotype (Rambo, Rocky, Lords of Flatbush). That stupid singing cowboy thing he did with Dolly Parton was a travesty, and he doesn't do so well with comedy or serious drama. He knows what works for him, and it shows. I wouldn't mind having the money he made from his "failures", would make me independently wealthy.

He's just a businessman after all. It will be interesting to see what the outcome of all those chems has on him. I know lots of geriatrics who wish they could be in his apparent condition.

Demolition Man was pretty funny. I actually wish they'd make a sequel to that if they could do it without screwing it up.

I look at Stallone and while he looks good from a muscle mass POV, he also looks old. No telling what all those chemicals are doing to his kidneys, something has to scrub that crap. I just eat good food (I like my broccoli hot but crispy ) don't drink much and I have never smoked. I work out regularly and at my age just set a PB on my leg press. I don't look muscle heavy like Stallone, but the guys in the gym who do are mostly on chemicals.

Some guys just don't know when to quit... But at least it goes to show even a 60 y.o. can kick a$$ with a .50 cal.

BTW with all due respect I'm not really impressed by the man's physique. It's a lot of show and little go plus way too much steroids. That kind of physique may be "cool" (or not) when you're 25. But Stallone just looks totally spent and all that fake muscle makes it even more of a sorry sight.
