No, for real Stallone. You made some great stuff. Rocky, First Blood, hell I even liked Daylight. You were the bad guy in Spy Kids 3D.
Rocky VI is scary enough... Don't turn it in to "Stop, Or My Dad Will Shoot!" with Estelle Getty as the reincarnated spirit of Burgess Meredith, unless she's gonna be robbing diamonds with a monacle, long nose, and top hat.
But come on... Rambo IV???? I thought better of you, Sly. Rambo lives a monastic lifestyle stripping down old boats when a team of volunteers coming in to Burma dissappears and one of the relatives begs you to find them using a brand new up-and-coming team of young mercs? Ok, so first off you're going to be Macho Libre, then you're gonna turn it in to Blade: Trinity.
Did you see Rocky V, Sly? I did...
Stay down, Rock... Stay down...
You know what? Fine. Do another Rocky movie. I'm sure you've convinced yourself it's a great idea even though Talia Shire refused to have anything to do with it. Hell, she even signed on for Godfather III. Do another Rambo movie and have him train the "Rambo Squad" so you can extend the franchise into a multi-generational appeal.
At least have the common damn decency to kill both of them off at the end of the new movies. Both have suffered enough.
That being said, I'll be seeing Rocky VI in the theater... even against my better judgement.
But Sly... Sly... I want you to listen to me very carefully.
There are lots of decaffinated brands out on the market that taste just as good as the real thing.
