Round #5 - Stallone keeps slugging out answers to the AICN Mob!!!

Too bad everyone is asleep right now as this is posted. by GibsonUSA Returns	Dec 6th, 2006 01:26:32 AM
And me here doing my homework.
Sly Question for Stallone by Jubba	Dec 6th, 2006 01:31:52 AM
One-liners are everywhere in action movies. Some are great while some leave the entire audience groaning. What are some of the best and worst one-liners that you've had to deliver and how do you manage to say them with a serious face?
Sly,can you get Guns & Roses to do the Rambo 4 s-track? by GibsonUSA Returns	Dec 6th, 2006 01:35:24 AM
Get some new G&R songs finally. Okay I'm off to bed too. Goodnight everyone.
Quality of content? by Jubba	Dec 6th, 2006 01:35:47 AM
Those questions and answers were pretty short today. Hmmm.
I guess Sly doesn't watch Heroes...... by Grando	Dec 6th, 2006 01:56:42 AM

I have to get started! by TraumReiter	Dec 6th, 2006 02:07:40 AM
Just love this Sly Q&A. In 6 hours I have to give a presentation about Harry and AICN. I better get started. Harry, is there anything you would like to say to my fellow students? Maybe a greeting?
Weird... by Kraken	Dec 6th, 2006 02:09:47 AM
As I was reading this Q&A I was eating some vanilla pudding I bought tonight as a midnight snack. I looked down and realized I was eating Stallone's brand pudding. Small universe. Did that sound gay? Oh well. It's good pudding.
the answer to that final question... by Seph_J	Dec 6th, 2006 03:08:32 AM
... is it me.... or do I just... not get it? Sly? Mate? What the fuck?
Sly answered my question!! by Steve Rogers	Dec 6th, 2006 03:18:21 AM
Thank you Mr Stallone, you made one fanboy very happy :-)
Dredd by Scanain	Dec 6th, 2006 03:19:26 AM
I would be interested to know if Sly had been asked when making this film, to never remove the helm, would he still have taken the roll? And if you don't get the answer to the final question then clearly, you're not meant to. Seems like a pretty witty guy all the same, he should run for congress.
last question? by onefatman	Dec 6th, 2006 03:29:52 AM
I don't understand it either. And am I like the only person in the universe who actually liked STOP OR MY MOM WILL SHOOT? Man that old lady was hot.
It's a shame... by Sly Fox	Dec 6th, 2006 03:41:07 AM
Harry won't ask my question since I put the wrong subject heading when I e-mailed it, but someone else must have asked a simular question! I don't get the answer to that last question either!
Damn you Michael Bay by MCMLXXVI	Dec 6th, 2006 04:03:04 AM
Damn you Michael Bay
jesus, what part of Se7en do you think he'd play??? by iamnicksaicnsn	Dec 6th, 2006 04:17:09 AM
Brad Pitt's Character? Kevin Spacey's???
That last Q/A was hilarious! by raw_bean	Dec 6th, 2006 04:41:16 AM
How else would you answer some retarded question about someone 'absorbing' your powers?
Questions are getting repetitive.... by Lago	Dec 6th, 2006 05:44:24 AM
...and Sly's answers are getting shorter as a result. I think we can safely move away from the "favorite" or "least favorite" questions. Try picking one of mine or obviously not.
Get Carter by Pavlo	Dec 6th, 2006 06:03:16 AM
Hello Sly, I come from Croatia and I´m a big fan of you. I have one question: Why have you said, you wish that you had not done Get Carter? Get Carter ist one of your greatest movies. You did actored so cool. The Movie is very emotional and there was playing great actors in it. And the other german Fans of you in a german Stallone-Forum (www.slyman.de), are agreeing with me. For a answer of the question we would be very grateful. Greetz Pavlo from Germany/Munich
JULIEN DONKEY-BOY??? by Frijole	Dec 6th, 2006 06:13:00 AM
Can't fault Sly for having diverse tastes... but that movie is fucking AWFUL. It makes Gummo and The Brown Bunny and What Is It? look like great storytelling. Yikes!
Oscar by KarmicRelief	Dec 6th, 2006 06:15:04 AM
Sly didn't like Oscar, eh? I found it to be an entertaining little flick with a great cast. Haven't found too many people that didn't enjoy it, either. Huh. Go fig.
HAHAHAHA, Kiki got told by Bobo_Vision	Dec 6th, 2006 06:19:12 AM
Kiki got F'ed in the A, HAHAHAHAHA. Ahhhhh Kiki you retard.
yo sly can you please say "YO DR BULBER-!" by dr.bulber	Dec 6th, 2006 06:45:39 AM
and next time please punch yo joe theisman in the face. hes a washington redskin and eagles dont like no stinkin washington redskins.
yo sly by dr.bulber	Dec 6th, 2006 06:53:19 AM
p.s. -and when you punch him could you maybe please do it really really hard. thank you.
G'n'R in Rambo 4 by abominate	Dec 6th, 2006 07:27:20 AM
Hey Sly, someone else asked if you could use Guns n Roses to do some new music for the upcoming Rambo. I'm not against G'n'R being in the film, but only if it's because you're punching Assh*le Rose in the face. Love ya, bye.
i liked Oscar by triplefive	Dec 6th, 2006 07:37:06 AM
and since these are posted so late and i don't see em till the next morning, i'm considering you a day behind Harry.
Harry, give us a peak at his portfolio. He can paint! by JDanielP	Dec 6th, 2006 07:44:21 AM
I remember seeing Sly on television quite a number of years ago, perhaps a Barbara Walter's Special, where he painted a picture with his bare hands in little time yet it turned out to be very cool. At least, that's the way I remember it, just as I remember him being far more talented than most people give him credit to be. So my #1 hope here is that Harry will manage to post some photographs of Sly's artwork. I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to see some of Sly's personal creations. And I would like to know if he still paints or draws or works in related mediums, ever.
LAST QUESTION = HEROES by bluelou_boyle	Dec 6th, 2006 07:50:33 AM
Funny answer to that one. I think the actor playing Sly's son is also in the TV show 'Heroes'. His character absorbs the powers of others.
Anyone Got Those Rocky Figures? by DarfurOnTheRocks	Dec 6th, 2006 07:57:00 AM
They look pretty cool. Spider Rico even has a figure! Although I thought that was as good as it gets I look.... and find "the meat" figure which Rocky punches!
Harry, you're funny. Getting it up early.... by nomihs	Dec 6th, 2006 08:00:00 AM
I meant this installment of Sly's Q and A. It was published at 7:03 p.m. but nobody posted till the next day. Why am I the only one who is screaming for these great little tidbits of grey matter from the Sly one? Oh well, another great read. Thanks Mr. Stallone, Celeste (great name by the way) and you too Harry.
Harry, do more than "google" his art, reveal something! by JDanielP	Dec 6th, 2006 08:00:00 AM

For what it's worth, Harry and Sly, thank you. by JDanielP	Dec 6th, 2006 08:11:33 AM

The epitome of class by YackBacker	Dec 6th, 2006 08:22:00 AM
Stallone is the man. A fwe years ago, when his value was at a low, people made fun of his recent work, minimized the good movies he made, etc. Heck, when ROCKY 6 was announced, most everybody scoffed at it. Throughout all of that, you never heard of Stallone bitching or whining about anything. The guy has class. And now, with people buzzing over the new movie, Stallone takes the chance to talk to the fans/critics and he is candid, funny and self-depricating. I always liked Stallone through his movies, but now I have even more respect for the man. Like Rocky Balboa, he's taken a lot of punches but he still comes out of that corner when the bell rings. Go get 'em Stallion!
Gotta agree with YackBacker by -=Shin=-	Dec 6th, 2006 08:46:54 AM
I appreciate the time he's taken out to answer our questions and always sound so down to earth and honest with his replies. Thanks again for the insight into your career!
Sorry Sly... by PwnedByStallone	Dec 6th, 2006 09:32:27 AM
but your movie SUCKS. I went to a private screening of Rocky Balboa last night and if anyone here has any inkling that this movie is anything but awful, you or sorely sorely mistaken. It's a nothing more than a vanity piece by an aging Hollywood ego-maniacal has-been. The first two-thirds is all set-up for a ridiculous final act that stretches the bounds of plausability with its "I don't need to block a punch" fighting style typical of all the Rocky movies. The set-up is ok but it spends the majority of its time trying to convince the audience that a near 60 year old brain damaged former fighter might beat a current heavyweight champion. I mean when you see Mason Dixon it's obvious this wasn't necessary as the guy looks like Mohammed Ali's daughter could kick his ass. Even hard-core Rocky fans will scoff when enjoyable moments such as the training are brushed over in order to get to the fight scene that is not only poorly executed and anti-climatic, but is little more than one giant Golden Palace advertisement. And don't get me started on the gratuitous Paulie moments in which he makes endless racist jokes that we're supposed to find funny or ignore, but just come off as pathetic. Yes, make no mistake, this movie is a travesty.
AK-47 by C Legion	Dec 6th, 2006 09:46:01 AM
You sound like a complete wanker, a tactless fool. So it's a good sign that you didn't like Rocky Balboa (if you really did see it).
AK-47 by antonphd	Dec 6th, 2006 10:48:01 AM
You can actually pay for sex you know. If you are really that desperate. You go find the one street downtown that has steady traffic at 3am. Bring at least $5.
You guys can belittle me all you want... by PwnedByStallone	Dec 6th, 2006 11:08:54 AM
but it doesn't change the fact that the movie sucks donkey nuts. I assure you I saw it and I'm sorry I hurt your feelings by telling you the truth. Go ahead and see it when it comes out and you'll know I'm right. P.S. Antonphd. That's the street where your mom lives, right? I get more sex than you'll ever have with your hand.
Yack! by Ricky Henderson	Dec 6th, 2006 11:08:54 AM
Did ya hear who the Mets are considering for 1st base coach in 2007? (Minor hint, he shares my AICN handle and likes to talk about himself in the 3rd person.) Yeah, I've posted this same post in other locations, but the news makes me giddy like a schoolgirl.
Ricky is so pretty by YackBacker	Dec 6th, 2006 11:17:13 AM
Well, Ricky and Omar are tight, so this makes a lot of sense. I can see it now: Ricky and Reyes sniping away at NL defenses all season long. That's pretty awesome. HE... IS... THE GREATEST!
Last question.... by Hail	Dec 6th, 2006 11:27:10 AM
Funny as hell! Don't thinkg too hard about it...it'll come.
AK-47 Wow... by Napolean Solo	Dec 6th, 2006 12:02:54 PM
Does it make you feel somehow 'special' to know that you hurl unfounded insults at people who take the time out to do Q&A's or give back in any way? Serious question, how does it make you feel? Know disrespect intended, I just want to know.
AK-47 need some info on that........ by ptindy	Dec 6th, 2006 12:03:56 PM
It's not that I don't trust you, but.....Where (city and theater) and what time was this private screening? I don't doubt that this movie could suck, but anybody could write up what you did.
Evidently they picked HoJo Yack, not Ricky to be coach by Ricky Henderson	Dec 6th, 2006 12:32:57 PM
They just reported on WFAN that HoJo go 1st base coach. Damn, I'm disappointed. Can you even imagine how completely unintelligible conversations between Reyes and and Ricky would have been?
AK-47's no Ebert by DarfurOnTheRocks	Dec 6th, 2006 12:47:47 PM
The main problem with your review is that you took a shot at the actor/director himself, which leads to questions regarding your objectivity. The second issue that I have is that you criticize the Rockyesque style of boxing, which is consistent which the ENTIRE series! So I guess you are not a Rocky fan period, which once again calls into question your objectivity. Finally, your disbelief that a 60 year old chap can take on a 30-something is unfounded because 1) Rocky is in his 50's 2) George Foreman accomplished similar feats in REAL LIFE! Hey it could very be a terrible movie. But your critique is flawed and subjective.
Yo, I'm Edgah Allun Poe! by Cruel_Kingdom	Dec 6th, 2006 01:01:04 PM
Stallone as Poe = ugh. Harkens back to the days of John Wayne as Genghis Khan. Fuck that.
Ricky by YackBacker	Dec 6th, 2006 01:17:24 PM
Those conversations would be like Mushmouth and Beaker. Speaking of unintelligle baseball conversations, Melky Cabrera and Robinson Cano must have some real doozies up in the Bronx. HoJo's been waiting for this moment all his life. I don't even know if Ricky will even notice he didn't get the job.
Not Oscar! by StovetopStuffin'	Dec 6th, 2006 01:35:33 PM
I loved Oscar. It was silly, but a total guilty pleasure.
Cruel_Kingdom by ptindy	Dec 6th, 2006 01:37:15 PM
Go back to Round 2- Stallone would not be playing Poe. He would be writing the screenplay, maybe directing-producing.
AK47, Why are you having sex with that guy's hand? by StovetopStuffin'	Dec 6th, 2006 01:42:05 PM
I wouldn't be proud of that if I were you.
Yack, by Ricky Henderson	Dec 6th, 2006 02:09:14 PM
Ever hear Endy Chacez speak? Its pretty bad too. I still have no idea what he thought of that great catch he made in game 7. I kept rewinding it and it sounded like: “I cat the bell, and we’s haping de bell wuz in da gleve.”
oops, i meant endy chavez by Ricky Henderson	Dec 6th, 2006 02:14:23 PM
a player that awesomely spry deserves to have his name spelled correctly.
I respect his honesty.. by BigTuna	Dec 6th, 2006 02:34:07 PM
How many times have actors been asked "Ever Regret Doing A Film?" and they never answer the question. I respect Sly's honesty.
I agree with Pavlo the crazy Croation, re. GET CARTER by Riley Martin	Dec 6th, 2006 02:49:19 PM
I'm a fan of the remake of GET CARTER. Not a perfect film by any stretch, but it shouldn't be heaped in the same group as Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot, Rhinestone, Oscar and Driven.
The not blocking of punches... by abominate	Dec 6th, 2006 03:00:38 PM
...is indeed consistent with other bouts in the series. Sure, it's not how real boxing happens, but it's what we come to expect of Rocky movies, wherein the fights are like cartoon version of real fights. So you get lots of punches being landed, very few blocks, and thunderous punching "whap!" sound effects that of course you don't hear in real life. Look at the Drago fight--if guys hit each other that way, they'd have busted orbitals inside of two rounds. But face it, to have a realistic boxing match in a Rocky film would be boring. I do agree, however, that having Golden Palace and MandayBay ads posted everywhere is cheesy. I haven't even seen the movie--you can see all the ads even in the trailer and production photos. Hope they're not too distracting.
ptindy by PwnedByStallone	Dec 6th, 2006 03:22:05 PM
Private screening in Washington, DC sponsored by the National Italian American Foundation. Sly was there and so was I.
StovetopStuffin' by PwnedByStallone	Dec 6th, 2006 03:22:32 PM
LOL
DarfurOnTheRocks by PwnedByStallone	Dec 6th, 2006 03:32:43 PM
AK-47 is no Ebert You're right about that. The main problem with your review is that you took a shot at the actor/director himself. Yes I did, in the first sentence. The rest was a critique of the film itself. The second issue that I have is that you criticize the Rockyesque style of boxing, which is consistent which the ENTIRE series! Which I pointed out in my critique. So I guess you are not a Rocky fan period I actually like the Rocky series in a nostalgic way but I thought V was a good ending for the series. Finally, your disbelief that a 60 year old chap can take on a 30-something is unfounded because 1) Rocky is in his 50's 2) George Foreman accomplished similar feats in REAL LIFE! I said "near 60" Stallone is 59 y.o. Foreman's last fight was a 12 round loss at the age of 48. anyone else?
I'm glad Sly didn't put Tango and Cash in the hate pile by Neo Zeed	Dec 6th, 2006 03:41:19 PM
Tango and Cash rules!
Kudos To Harry And Sly On Last Question by Mark Twain	Dec 6th, 2006 03:54:16 PM
Props to Harry for submitting it and Sly for answering it appropriately. I was gonna submit similar AICN style questions if I didn't see one soon. Like, "Why didn't you use your Hollywood muscle to support Serenity in the theaters?" I may have to submit a serious one after all, as the Talkbackers seem well-represented.
hey abominate thems fighting words by southafrican	Dec 6th, 2006 04:09:46 PM
dont insult the legend that is Axl Rose, yes he can be as big an asshole as any rock star, BUT at least he actually is a real rockstar (in this age where pansy emo crap passes for rock, and talentless fags like pete dougherty pass as rock stars) he is still largely an enigma (being as he is not a media whore like coughozzycough, and he does not give interviews), he has not sold out and does not suck corporate dick (as evidenced by his decade in the making most expensive album ever, much of which has come out of his own pocket, and he has resisted all record company demands and pressures). He is actually trying something diffent, trying to come up with a new sound and style in rock(those who have heard Better will know what i mean), sure it may fail spectacularly and he may fall flat on his face, but how many rock stars have the balls to take this big a chance? And remember that he dissapeared at the height of his fame and popularity in order to do this. I'm curious which rock stars you like abominate, perhaps whining tools like Kurt Nobrain who whine about how crap their lives are and how "hard" it is being a rock star? Or maybe you like self righteous political crusaders like Bono? No thanks i'll take a rockstar that actually gasp enjoys being a rock star and is larger than life. Love or hate Axl for things he has done but remember that "mythical" rock stars like him (see also freddie mercuary, David Lee Roth, Jimmy page et all) are a dying breed and if you like your rock loud, swaggering, decadent and FUN then that is a sad thing
HoJo as First Base coach is amazing/AK-47 by triplefive	Dec 6th, 2006 04:17:02 PM
I love the unrelated mets talk. HoJo was my fave player when i was a kid, so now he can be my first ever fave first baseman. And AK-47 obviously doesn't know shit, cause he said Dixon looks like a man that can be beat by Laila Ali. Which means that he obviously does not know that Mason Dixon is played by Antonio Tarver, who at the time of filming, was light heavyweight champ. Man was, and still is, a bad motherfucker (though he did lose to the 38-year old Bernard Hopkins after he did Rocky B.). So in conclusion, the Mets are awesome and AK-47 is an ignorant fool, and a rather easy target.
I totally forgot about the Contender by CherryValance	Dec 6th, 2006 05:12:55 PM
I loved the first season of that show until the finale. I knew there was a reason I was disgruntled with Mr. Stallone. Hmm. I'll leave it at that. And Oscar was great. I don't get why people discredit their own movies. I guess they think they're being humble but it doesn't make sense to me. I never saw Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot however. The idea of Estelle Getty shooting people seemed redundant.
hey Rickey! by Malebolgia	Dec 6th, 2006 05:41:15 PM
I was at that game , that catch was the highlight of the year, maybe the best I've ever seen.
Julien Donkey Boy by Jacobra	Dec 6th, 2006 06:22:01 PM
Is so bad I actually cleaned my house with a hangover so that I wouldn't have to watch it while it was playing. now that is a bad movie.
Bah! by streakerfreak1983	Dec 6th, 2006 06:22:52 PM
No point in attacking Ak-47. He was just explaining why he did not like the film. He gave some good points. Who know's if he is correct. We will wait and see. Oh and AK-47, none of these people will hate this film. All they are are fanboys who will like it no matter how bad it is. They will just try and deny it if it really is bad. Kind of like the way I am with the Bond films. Yup, just attacked myself there. About Axl Rose, he is a moron. If you can't see that after the past 4 year then you need to wake up. I hate "Gods" of Rock kind of musicians. I'd rather have 100 tortured artists and 100 "self-rightous" political crusaders then one Axel, Roth, so on, and so on. At least there trying to do something to help people. It may mean nothing, but at least they are trying.
Why doesn't he by SWR 77	Dec 6th, 2006 06:42:33 PM
become a full-time writer/director now instead of doing this film. Stallone should come up with new ideas rather than go back to the well AGAIN.
streakerfreak1983 by C Legion	Dec 6th, 2006 07:59:51 PM
It isn't a matter of whether he liked Rocky Balboa or not, the fact is that Ak-47 didn't review Rocky Balboa he attacked Stallone, and he did it in a totally inappropriate place. Stallone is taking the time to answer questions from all, positive or negative, and he's answering them far more candidly than we're used to from Hollywood stars. If he doesn't like his films fine, but show a little class, and respect what Stallone is doing here.
LOL at Mark Twain. by Daddylonghead	Dec 6th, 2006 08:53:48 PM
"Why didn't you use your Hollywood muscle to support Serenity in the theaters?" HA HA HA HA, that's wonderful. In other news: Yackbacker, I agree 100% and with your positive characterization of Stallone based on these Q&As, but PLEASE, PEOPLE, STOP WITH THE FUCKIN SPORTS TALK, TAKE IT TO IM OR SOMETHING!
by "SPORTS" I mean non-boxing sports obviously by Daddylonghead	Dec 6th, 2006 08:54:46 PM
I'm not that much a dickhead
C Legion and others by PwnedByStallone	Dec 6th, 2006 10:15:00 PM
One line out of about ten attacked Stallone. The rest was an honest critique of the film so you can kiss my ass. As for this being the wrong venue. Maybe you're right, but I guarantee you Stallone is not reading this and never will. And am I supposed to suck some rich-ass Hollywood star's dick because he took a half hour out of his life to answer questions from some geeks on a website? I'd respect him more if he made a movie that didn't insult our intelligence. Thanks streakerfreak1983. Right on BringingSexyBack.
Sly in Se7en? by Cyberfury	Dec 7th, 2006 02:20:31 AM
One shudders by the mere thought of it. Witness I could see him do though, even if Ford pwns that role. I just saw ford in Blade Runner again. Man, he was good back in the day...
