| Hollywood Out Of Ideas - Stallone To Make Rambo IV |
| 2005-10-28 |
| At his age, he'll be using an IV... LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- Sylvester Stallone is attached to star in "Rambo IV," the first film about the one-man killing machine since 1988. Bring a good supply of body bags... Stallone, 59, recently announced he would revisit another franchise when he begins filming "Rocky Balboa," the sixth film in the 30-year-old boxing series, in December. Murdoch! I'm coming to get you! "Rambo IV" centers on former Vietnam vet John Rambo, who is living a reclusive life back home in the U.S. But when a girl goes missing, he is forced to abandon his quiet lifestyle and take justice into his own hands. "What you call hell, he calls home." No director is attached, and the screenplay is in the early stages. The indepedently produced $50 million film is set to begin shooting in the spring in Mexico and the U.S. |

| #22 Yeah, but I read this am that Clint Eastwood(?) is going to do a movie based on the book "The Flags of our Fathers", the WW II book about the USMC and Navy Corpsman at the (second) flag rasing at Iwo Jima, memorialized at the Marine Corps Memorial in D.C. (Already filming, according to Mrs. Bobby). Great book; like reading 'Schindler's List' in paperback, except the heroes are kids from American, not a German capitalist. |

| #21 For me Sly is badly underestimated as a filmmaker - I've liked all his films pretty much. He has to achieve despite the whims of the policratic, despotic Hollywood cabals or propaganda Bureaus in addition to satisfying his core fans. I LIKED "ROCKY V", Sly! |

| #20 Rambo IV is really going to be exciting. We get to see him join AARP and collect social security benefits. Action sequences involve vast amounts of prune juice and bran. |

| #19 The neo-nazi conspiracy theorist Carol Valentine is a leading proponent of the claim that the 9-11 attacks were the work of the US government and that the planes were remote-controlled. The fascist slut uses the name "Snake Plisken" for her super-secret inside source (probably herself). (The louse-ridden SS field whore has a site but I refuse to link to it.) |

| #18 Favorite Rambo quote: "The mind is the ultimate weapon." Nothing like unarmed combat, is there, Sly. |

| #17 You know, living in California it's easy to forget that our nation is absolutely crawling with white supremacists lead by charismatic evangelical preachers. Good thing the boys and girls in Hollywood are around to set the record straight. |

| #9 More detail -- I hear that Rambo IV has him coming out of retirement from his country home to take on kidnappers who are... you guessed it, white supremacists. |

| #3 If they need Mexican extras for the filming, we can send a few million. |
