Thought: Who should play the young Rambo?

Since Sly is open for the possibility, of a “Rambo: First Blood” prequel where a younger actor would play Rambo instead of him, you’d ask yourself, who should play the young Rambo? I’m pretty sure you’re thinking of Zac Efron, Kellan Lutz and Taylor Lautner, since those guys are young and buffed, but sorry, I’ll have to disagree. While those kids have great physiques, they won’t fit as Rambo. Why?

Because if Sly is seriously thinking about a Rambo prequel, Sly would have to find an actor that can match his look. The droopy like eyes, those lips, speaking voice, etc.

Sly shouldn’t get a big name for this one. Sly should get an unknown actor for the young Rambo. That’s what he’ll probably do. Since Sly said he’s retired from Rambo for good, this is a clever way for more Rambo but without Sly. A Rambo prequel will be great, it would show Rambo fighting in the Vietnam War, it will show how Col. Trautman made him out to be and all that. So the film would need a younger Col. Trautman actor as well.

I’m all for a Rambo prequel, bring it on, Sly.

Well this was an interesting Q&A session with Sly. That was awesome that he actually answered my question about John Gotti. What is awesome about these Q&A’s that Sly would mention the fan’s name so it can make it look like that Sly is really talking to you

I look forward to seeing “The Expendables” in a few weeks. I’m not interested in “Scott Pilgrim” or “Eat, Pray, Love”. I’m “Expendable” all the way, baby! Can’t WAIT!!!

Report: Sylvester Stallone Q&A with AICN – Day 2

Here’s Day 2 of Sly Stallone answering fan questions. In this one, Sly talks about Frank Miller wanting him to play an aging Batman and surprisingly enough, Sly loves the idea. Even Sly himself might be a huge fan of the Batman character. Sly talks about workout music, what he works out to in the gym, and he admits he does work out to his own music from the Rocky movies. Sly talks what it’s like to work with Woody Allen and Robert Deniro.

And best of all, Sly answers my question about the John Gotti “Dapper Don” movie he is planning with Junior Gotti. Sly explains that the John Gotti project hasn’t even really started yet and they have ways to go to get this project off the ground. So it’s gonna be a LONG LONG while for you to see a John Gotti movie. Like he said, there is already a John Gotti biopic that was made by HBO which stars Armand Assante.

Oh yeah, Sly also says some not friendly stuff about Jean Claude Van Damme. So don’t ever expect Sly and Van Damme to work on a project anytime soon. Sly explains JCVD has a huge ego and that he just wants a high paycheck. Sly still respects Van Damme as an actor though.

I’ve always wanted to see Sly in a horror film and a Western movie too. Maybe he’ll actually do both sometime in the future.

Thought: Did Sly get plastic surgery done?

Looking at Sly at David Letterman’s interview and seeing him in those Comic Con videos, he obviously got plastic surgery done. The internet is already talking about it in other forums, blog sites. I’m actually agreeing with other people on the internet that Sly might have some face work done. Sly ages naturally? LOL! Plastic surgery makes them old stars look young! Maybe that’s the point of the purple sunglasses? He’s trying to hide his droopy like eyes. I’ll admit that Sly doesn’t look good anymore. His face does look kind of bad. He’ll never admit to plastic surgery no matter how many people knows about it. I’ll see if I can dig up some pics tomorrow and I’ll show you how he might of got some face work done. It’s obvious. He’s not fooling anyone.

Report: Stallone bashes Tim Burton/Michael Keaton “Batman” movie, claims the film destroyed the 80’s action hero era…

A lot of people love Tim Burton’s and Michael Keaton’s collaboration of “Batman”, but Stallone has some harsh words to say about the film, he is definitely no fan of the first “Batman” movie. Why? Because he thinks the film is responsible for big muscle guys in actions movies fading away for future films. The action movies in the 90’s did stay away from muscle guys. Muscle guys in action movies were huge in the 80’s but it began to die out in the early 90’s.

Sorry to say, but I actually agree with Sly. I’m not agreeing with him just because I’m a huge fan, I’m agreeing with him, ’cause I’m being real. I’m no fan of the first “Batman” flick with Burton/Keaton either.

Thank god, we have Christopher Nolan to save the Batman franchise! He knows how to do Batman right, Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher can’t! Sorry!

So Sly actually did try to get Chuck Norris for the film? Jeez, it makes you wonder what’s up with Chuck Norris these days? Did Chuck retire from the entertainment industry for good? No new films, no new TV shows, no new fitness commercials, etc??? Really, Chuck, where are you? The internet constantly talks about Chuck all over the place still and we’ve heard nothing from him? WTF? Come back, Mr. Norris, we miss you!

Cool Video: Sylvester Stallone on David Letterman last night…

Sylvester Stallone is in New York City to promote the Expendables for late night TV. He went on David Letterman last night. On last night’s show, Sly and Dave talk dogs, his family, his broken neck, and of course, the Expendables movie. It was an entertaining interview. Sly’s humour was great as he brought out some laughs, but my only complaint is Sly’s outfit. Dude, what’s up with the purple outfit? I bet his wife, Jen, talked him into wearing that purple outfit. I was hoping Sly would come out wearing just jeans and a t-shirt to show off his physique a little bit.
