A lot of people are pretty psyched up for the new Rambo flick “Rambo“. The early trailers FILLED with violence and blood splatter have a lot of folks talking and getting geared up for a return to the morally empty 80’s where in movies the biggest gun determined the moral code :)
Personally, I have a lot of doubts about Rambo. I think it’s a desperate attempt by an over the hill actor to try to have relevance again. BUT… I said that exact same thing about Rocky Balboa… and I had to eat my words because Rocky Balboa was a fricking BRILLIANT movie that a hell of a lot more people should have seen. Same MIGHT happen with Rambo. Let’s wait and see.
Anyway, the folks at the mtv movies blog emailed Sylvester Stallone and asked him a simple question… WHO IS JOHN RAMBO? And Stallone emailed them back with this great answer:
John Rambo is a withdrawn man who is finally at peace with himself because he’s checked out of civilaztion. He realizes and believes that war is natural and peace is an accident — and he wants no part of either.
That’s awesome! (is it just me, or is this guy getting bigger as he gets older?)

Now i’m actually very lenient on giving odd titles to sequels so that you can’t tell (unless you know) which films come in which order……but they really should have stuck with calling this one ‘John Rambo’ or, at the very least, ‘Rambo: Operation Fuckshitdestruction’.
I’m waiting for the reviews on this one.

Actually not steroids, but GH (growth hormone). Remember he got caught a while back in Australia with tons of it…

I do have my doubts on this project as well I usually say that Cloverfield will prolly be a bad film because it is being released in January and this is no exception. I mean the release date for this movie is extremely close to the Superbowl. Now Im not saying that everyone loves football but the Superbowl is a big TV event and the Superbowl weekend in the worst weekend to release a movie. Hell its better to release a movie during one of the major holidays than it is to release one during the month of January or during the Superbowl weekend.

Why all the Stallone haters? I think that Stallone actually has some pretty decent acting and writing ability. I love Rocky Balboa and I think that Rambo will deliver the goods.

I can’t wait see Rambo this Friday, and I’m pretty excited to see if there’s really as much blood and brutality in the film as reported! If you have Facebook, you should check out the “Get Rambod” app, and attack your friends Rambo-style! You can find it here: http://apps.facebook.com/getrambod/
