Round Six With Sly Stallone! His funniest yet!!!

Wow by mrfan	Dec 6th, 2006 08:02:17 PM
Good stuff
first? by misnomer	Dec 6th, 2006 08:02:32 PM
great great answers....I think sly deserves his comeback!
DEATHRACE 2000!!! by CarmillaVonDoom	Dec 6th, 2006 08:03:07 PM
How come no one has asked about it yet?? What a cool grindhouse movie! And Sly magazine?? When the heck was THAT on the stands??? :^)
Double Wow. by mrfan	Dec 6th, 2006 08:03:18 PM
First also.
first? by BackRiverCatfish	Dec 6th, 2006 08:04:09 PM
I had to try just once
damn you first! by misnomer	Dec 6th, 2006 08:04:27 PM
I've learned my lesson, and shall never try again. and I am also debuting my new catchphrase.... Jackson Or Nothing! (J.O.N)
Can we still submit questions or is it too late? by mrfan	Dec 6th, 2006 08:04:32 PM
I think it would be great.
third! by BackRiverCatfish	Dec 6th, 2006 08:05:53 PM
The closest I could get damnit, I guess I don't have the eye of the tiger!
Almost misnomer. by mrfan	Dec 6th, 2006 08:06:03 PM
15 seconds and you would be yelling: FIRST!!! Instead. I yelled WOW!!
Sly's gotta be on the sauce. by veritasses	Dec 6th, 2006 08:09:19 PM
That's some good sh_t. What other celeb is capable of this? What other forum could host it? Larry King? Leno? 60 Minutes? Entertainment Tonight? The "Fair and Balanced" network? Maybe The Daily Show. But they only have enough time for Stewart to ask 5 questions, if that.
Fanboy bullshit. by vivavitalogy	Dec 6th, 2006 08:10:32 PM
Quit picking the questions that kiss Stallone's old, dare I say flabby ass. How about a question or two that challenge the man? Anyone else tired of this fluff?
Rambo IV:Rambo leads a bunch of young studs to action.. by GibsonUSA Returns	Dec 6th, 2006 08:11:38 PM

fantastic vision for the alternate Rocky IV by keyserSOZE	Dec 6th, 2006 08:18:38 PM
"marry Ivan Drago and punch out Brigitte Nielson" outstanding!
Tiny Toons already made fun of Keaton Batman..... by GibsonUSA Returns	Dec 6th, 2006 08:18:39 PM
Everyone over 18 knows exactly what I am talking about. I think that scene represented Stallone's opinion. But hey, I liked Keaton as Batman!! He's one of the better ones!
Rambo vs. Microsoft by Head In A Box	Dec 6th, 2006 08:24:26 PM
"I think the story of RAMBO is one about being considered obsolete, not part of the new technological mode of warfare, kind of a savage turned loose in Microsoft’s headquarters"......So, Rambo IV will pit Rambo against Bill Gates?! Man, I'd pay double to see that. It'd be a short movie though. Slide that uber-serrated hunting knife of his into BG's left temple, roll end credits.
Yeah Rocky IV was out of place. by GibsonUSA Returns	Dec 6th, 2006 08:29:04 PM
First no Bill Conti....instead they got Vince DiCola, that guy that did Transformers. Second, Rocky didn't ACT like Rocky at all! Rocky in all the other movies acted one way....the Rocky in Rocky IV acted so different, like I dunno, Suburban Rambo or something. It wasn't Rocky. (Even though as a kid Rocky IV was my favorite one....now Rocky II & III are.).......BTW another Stallone/Transformers connection, did you know that that Transformers song "The Touch" (I think that was it), was originally intended for Stallone's Cobra?
NOTHING IS OVA! NOTHING! by damagedinc	Dec 6th, 2006 08:37:13 PM
This is so so awesome. Freakin' Stallone is legit.
wait get sly back on the phone! by jonboy83	Dec 6th, 2006 08:41:41 PM
forget the seashells question. what i want to know is how he was able to not get a boner during the shower scene with a then hot sharon stone in the specialist. was it a simple tuck job or was there some sort of adhesive used? damn it i want answers!

I wonder if he's... local!?!
That was fantastic! by super Cucaracha	Dec 6th, 2006 09:00:25 PM
Punching out Brigitte is priceless! Sly is freakin funny! YO ROCK! aren't you glad you divorced the freak?
You take this post, and shovel it! by Womb2dooM	Dec 6th, 2006 09:02:59 PM
"...so Rocky lands first and thirty seconds later, Apollo’s attorney shows up and sues Rocky for assault." Let's go blow this guy!
Stallone is the F***kng man! by super Cucaracha	Dec 6th, 2006 09:04:50 PM
Rambo would have had Commando's nuts cut off in a second and shoved them up his political arse! Rambo is kind of psycho while Commando had something to loose with his daughter.
Reading this just as... by Dasher	Dec 6th, 2006 09:06:21 PM
"Summer Madness" has come on the radio in the background....just like in the first "Rocky"...that's weird.
jonboy83 by veritasses	Dec 6th, 2006 09:09:19 PM
That's a good question. I'm curious. And Stallone'll probably have a good answer for it. "Crotch Tartar"... That still makes me laugh.
thx sly by Toddstarwatcher	Dec 6th, 2006 09:11:21 PM
UR AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is great! Thanks! by Atomik Steve	Dec 6th, 2006 09:25:13 PM
I love reading these questions and I am really excited about the new flick. My only problem is...no mention of Cobra yet?
super Cucaracha... by Womb2dooM	Dec 6th, 2006 09:26:49 PM
That would be SWEEEEEEET!!!!!!! Commando vs Rambo!!! Both actors need a comeback and this wouldn't be the thing to do it but DAMN, that would be great. Rambo accidentally kills Commando's little girl in a flurry of anger and wayward arrow through the cheek! The finale takes place in the Korean DMZ.
Rambo 2 and 3 by pjdon	Dec 6th, 2006 09:44:51 PM
No one has asked him what he thought of these two films which i personally think are terrible. I hope the 4th one sticks closer to the first films more realistic tone. I fact i think First Blood would be a brilliant film to remake with maybe matt damon as a disgruntled gulf war vet.
pjdon by GibsonUSA Returns	Dec 6th, 2006 09:54:15 PM
Rambo III is iffy for me but I love Rambo II if only for that scene in the helicopter where he pops up with a bazooka LOL. There had better be at least one scene like that in Rambo IV!
The answer to 6 is comedy gold by tiredpm	Dec 6th, 2006 10:05:21 PM
I'm still chuckling over that one. Another great episode, and it's nice to know that the contributors to the site are enjoying this feature as well. Hey, Quint, who'd you like to see in the next installment?
Rambo II was awesome by Bobo_Vision	Dec 6th, 2006 10:22:04 PM
Rambo II was great! It was even co-written by James Cameron.
rocky rocks by onefatman	Dec 6th, 2006 10:27:58 PM
Wow. At the start of this experiment I thought I wouldn't be interested at all. I haven't seen any of the Rocky movies, I've only seen one Rambo movie and I just dismissed Mr. Stallone as just some old washed up muscleman. But after reading the last six Q&A sessions, I've got a whole lot of new found respect for the guy. I've never met him, but he comes across as an intelligent, honest, really funny, down-to-earth guy who genuinely loves what he does. He's not afraid to realise his mistakes and look back and laugh about them. My opinion has totally changed about you Mr. Stallone, and I look forward to the rest of your fantastic, insightful interactions with the great unwashed. And maybe I'll just go rent those Rocky movies to finally see what all the fuss is about.
'Incredibly Greedy" LOL. by PornKing	Dec 6th, 2006 10:34:25 PM
Oh and onefatman, if you ever watch his SNL appearance(s) you can see he's a funny guy that doesn't take himself too seriously. These Q&A's are great.
married Ivan Drago and punched out Brigitte Nielsen. by Alonzo Mosely	Dec 6th, 2006 10:57:18 PM
I nominate that as a new AICN catchphrase...
Thanks alot by aknasas	Dec 6th, 2006 11:01:47 PM
To Mr. Stallone & Mr. Knowles, To have someone as popular and especially respected as Sylvestor Stallone on this site answering questions for fans is just so special, unique & simply really fuckin cool. It's also a genius marketing move to help promote Rocky Balboa, so bravo. I was introduced to Mr. Stallone on the opening weekend of Cliffhanger back in may of '93. To this day the first ten minutes still scare me shitless. Reading these rounds of Q&A's is such a delight & treat and I look forward to a new set everyday. So, from the bottom of my geekly heart, to both of you, thanks alot.
This is some great stuff ... Stallone gets mad props! by Lamerz	Dec 6th, 2006 11:17:50 PM
I really wasn't going to read any of these. Usually star interviews and Q/A sessions are so lame. But this has been extremely enjoyable!
tiredpm by Quint	Dec 6th, 2006 11:25:06 PM
I'd love this to continue... but it'd have to be special occasions only... And with people who have had a long career. I could see it being really cool with people like Steven Spielberg. I'd kill to see one with Christopher Lee... and Ernest Borgnine... could you imagine? I'm sure there are tons more, but those spring to mind.
At first, by dregmobile	Dec 6th, 2006 11:27:37 PM
I honestly couldn't have cared less, though I was always going to see the new Rocky film. But ten questions a day? We are spoiled! These are great, and if only lightning could strike twice (as in - having this done again courtesy of another director or actor), we would be blessed. Great interview!
We need to do this with none other than by dregmobile	Dec 6th, 2006 11:28:25 PM
William Shatner.

Um, no that man has an ego the size of Texas. He is unfamiliar with the concept of "Self-deprication". Well, not in interviews at any rate...
different questions by JimmyJoe RedSky	Dec 6th, 2006 11:57:47 PM
this is cool and all - but as someone mentioned earlier - these questions are starting to sound recycled - same questions, different wording - id like to hear sly answer a couple i sent - like -did he ever spar with mickey rourke? - or - would he ever shave his head for a part? - or - what part in "grindhouse" did he turn down due to scheduling - "stuntman mike"?
Very interesting by viranth	Dec 7th, 2006 12:43:24 AM
Really enjoyed this Q&A, makes me want to see all his movies _again_.
Stallone + armwrestling = ARM TV by armtv	Dec 7th, 2006 12:46:10 AM
This is my first time posting here. I have been reading for years BUT the STallone action has finally gotten me to register and post my comments. I really would like to thank AICN for being so cool. I know Sly called you guys first but either way this interaction has been amazing. I have an interesting story to tell because what I do for a living is directly related to Stallone in a strange way. I run a company, ARM TV, that streams via internet armwrestling tournaments from around the world. The sport has been around since the early 50's but it was just bar room back then. Wide world of Sports picked it up for tv in the late 70's early 80's but the sport almost fell into extinction until the movie OVER THE TOP came along. I know it wasn't one of Stallones Better movies and maybe even considered a bomb at the box office. I don't know the stats....but it was the first time the sport was given any real attention in almost 20 years and helped spread the sport internationally. Most of you probably don't even realize the sport exists but it does and I have a lot to be thankful for because this is what I do now for work and I don't think it would have been possible without Mr. Stallone. Definitely that movie would probably never have been greenlit without him. So I wanted to drop by and give some thanks to MR. Stallone for doing that movie...helping kickstart the sport. I only found the sport 3 years ago but decided that I would dedicate my life to breaking it into the mainstream and we are on our way. In fact we have a show on ESPN this saturday night. It has taken a few years but finally television coverage. SWEET. I am sure I won't be lucky enought to get an OVER THE TOP SEQUEL. But atleast, hopefully, my question will get chosen by having Sly give some feedback on his thoughts of OTT and whether or not he knows what kind of impact his movie has had internationally or not. Thanks for all the good reads over the last couple of years and keep them coming!!! I will be seeing ROCKY BALBOA opening day. I am hoping for 130 mil domestic/ 500 international Gary Roberts ARM TV WWW.MYARMTV.COM
Rocky 4 was awesome by Neo Zeed	Dec 7th, 2006 12:47:39 AM
Vince Dicola is the man and his score is glorious.
timmer33, if you are listening... by Seph_J	Dec 7th, 2006 12:53:54 AM
... so you think that if someone wins an oscar, they are talented? You poor idiot. And if you are making this personal, yes, my films have won awards - but not an Oscar. Guess, I (like Alfred Hitchcock and Martin Scorsese) dont have the right to 'smell Stallone's turd'. Thankyou for showing me the light. You fucking idiot.
James Cameron! by Rindain	Dec 7th, 2006 01:55:28 AM
I'd love to see a Q&A series with Cameron...he promised Harry more interviews the last time Harry spoke to him (the time HArry lost his voice recorder). Bring on AVATAR!
Damn you Michael Bay by MCMLXXVI	Dec 7th, 2006 02:08:57 AM
Damn you Michael Bay
Question 8 by BenBraddock	Dec 7th, 2006 02:42:28 AM
Sly seems to be answering a completely different question, like "What movie scores do you dig, Mr.Stallone?" What's up with that?
Terrific, really enjoying this Q&A, great to have by KillaKane	Dec 7th, 2006 03:24:47 AM
Sly back at the movies and in the public eye again (another 80's kid getting nostalgic), gunning for Balboa and Rambo to be successful, for old times sake. Interesting to hear of Sly's affection for Fliesher's Vikings, as as fan of such great scores I'm hoping Sly can retain some of Goldsmith's themes for Rambo IV.
RE: How come AICN isn't doing Transformer updates anymo by photoboy	Dec 7th, 2006 03:49:46 AM
Because the TF film is going to be the biggest steaming pile of crap this side of Batman & Robin. Damn you Michael Bay. As a side note, Stallone's column rocks, he should contribute regularly. Perhaps he could write a blog for the site as he's working on Rambo?
Question: Possibility of Rocky IV redux? by ricster	Dec 7th, 2006 04:01:30 AM
Regarding Rocky IV, do you think there's any chance you might revisit it, giving it a new Conti soundtrack(and possibly removing the robot)?
"removing the robot" by DocPazuzu	Dec 7th, 2006 04:22:31 AM

Bruce Willis should be next. by Gilkuliehe	Dec 7th, 2006 07:37:51 AM
Seriously. Look at the guy's CV for chrissake's... silly comedies with Kim Basinger, DIE HARD, Pulp Fiction, The Last Boy Scout, 12 monkeys, 6th sense, Sin City, those baby movies, and let's not forget Harry-tears-inducing ARMAGGEDON... It would be great. Vern gets to ask ten questions... I nominate him. Come on Knowles get on the phone.
As a filmmaker by Vampire's rock	Dec 7th, 2006 08:28:20 AM
I am inspired every time I watch the original "Rocky". No CGI, no big stars (at the time), just a great story and a likeable lead actor helmed by a great director.
AICN should by veritasses	Dec 7th, 2006 08:35:20 AM
market the the heck out of this and establish it as a regular feature. Maybe give it schlocky label like "AICN 200 From The Fans: The Stallone Interview" to establish a brand, gather some stats on how many unique page views this gets and start some buzz and push it as a "hip" thing for celebs to do. Of course they'd still want to be very selective about who they pick so they don't cheapen the brand with boring celebs with boring answers. Though there aren't many celebs who are 1. intelligent 2. funny 3. candid 4. interesting/have stories to tell 5. willing to take any and all questions 6.capable of handling the possible onslaught of flames from AICN TB regulars if the answers are PC/lame. Though I wouldn't mind seeing all time AICN "favorites" like Uwe Boll, Paul WS Anderson or Michael Bay take the hot seat.
Tango and Cash 2 by thefreeagents	Dec 7th, 2006 08:54:07 AM
He needs to call up Kurt Russell and get this one going. One of my favorite buddy-action flicks.
Hey PJdon by abominate	Dec 7th, 2006 08:57:43 AM
Although I think Damon was good in the Bourne films, I don't think the idea of a First Blood remake with a Gulf War vet would work--because the two wars were not the same. Vietnam was a war few Americans wanted, and returning vets were not exactly welcomed home warmly by anyone except their own loved ones, whereas people largely supported the Gulf War, and vets coming home were saluted. In other words, there's no external impetus for a Gulf War vet to feel ostracized or oppressed. Case in point: A gulf war Rambo could not make the "Nothing is over speech" and have it make sense. Gulf war vets were not seen as "baby killers," nor were they or their actions protested on a grand scale. They came home heroes.

"Married Ivan Drago and Punched Out Brigitte Nielson." by Read and Shut Up	Dec 7th, 2006 09:14:45 AM
CLASSIC. Thanks, Sly, for your candor and sense of humor. You deserve having "Rocky" in the American - maybe the world's - lexicon. I'm looking forward to Rocky Balboa!
Next? Legend Clint Eastwood. But GOOD LUCK with that! by JDanielP	Dec 7th, 2006 09:46:49 AM
How about Kirk Douglas, with son Michael?
These questions are really getting me interested... by Cotton McKnight	Dec 7th, 2006 09:57:07 AM

Rocky Balboa opens... by abominate	Dec 7th, 2006 10:40:04 AM
...on Wednesday December 20. Not the 22nd as previously reported. At least, here in NE Ohio I can get tix for opening day on Dec. 20. I don't know if there will be a Tues midnight show. I need to see this film like yesterday. In fact, I didn't know how incomplete my life was until I knew they were shooting Rocky 6, Spidey 3 and Die Hard 4.

the new 'damn you michael bay' by occula	Dec 7th, 2006 11:21:51 AM
thank you wazoo! hey quint et al, i want to also thank you for this. i'm a girl and therefore my formative stallone wasn't rocky or rambo, but tango and cash (that's a fairly universal girl-raised-in-the-80s-fave), and i also had some vague perception of stallone as being some kind of bumbling miss-malaprop. but these interviews have totally disabused me of that and it's a real pleasure to have somebody that important in the action genre being so funny and honest about the work.
Damn you Batman! by Billyeveryteen	Dec 7th, 2006 11:31:54 AM

AICN should Thank Stallone......... by ptindy	Dec 7th, 2006 12:00:08 PM
because this site was sucking balls until this came about. It has been going downhill for some time. All hail Savior Stallone. No way on Shatner for next 200 questions. Besides a few interesting tidbits about Star Trek and some insight on Heather Locklear's sweet ass, what else does he have to offer?????????

My nomination.
I've got to give it to Sly... by Childe Roland	Dec 7th, 2006 12:22:15 PM
...he's got a great perspective on himself. Seems to know his strengths and his shortcomings. Ive always thought Rocky (the first) and First Blood were two amazingly written and realized non-traditional heroes (a thug made good who winds up losing anyway and a decorated warriro who can't readjust to life in peacetime), and he'll always get props from me on that. I'm starting to wonder if he's to blame for the ridiculous directions both franchises headed in (especially based on the back-to-basics while changing things up way he talks about Rocky Balboa).
ptindy by Cl_Kilgore	Dec 7th, 2006 12:28:58 PM
What else has Shanter done?!?! Take a look at the guys resume in the entertainment industry. He's been and done everything. 200 questions with Shanter should be at the top of the list.
Ok missed one or two... by ptindy	Dec 7th, 2006 12:33:07 PM

Sly do a special edition Cobra DVD!! by IndyCollector	Dec 7th, 2006 02:21:08 PM
Just something with extra features and a commentary. I think that is an underrated movie. It still holds up today. Look at what happened in that Amish community as an example. We need guys like Cobra to just go in and start schmokin' mutha fuckahs like they ain't no thang!
Yes, they could do a Cobra special edition... by abominate	Dec 7th, 2006 02:31:04 PM
...the Deluxe PIG!! edition. On the bonus disc, we learn who wrote the script PIG!, why does Marion chew a match PIG!, why does his partner eat Gummi Bears PIG! And why do the bad guys clang their axes together PIG! "Angel of the City" is the greatest song ever PIG!

R.E. Sly: by playahatersball	Dec 7th, 2006 02:40:23 PM
These talkbacks have shifted my opnion of the man 180 degrees. I was playahating hardcore on teh idea of a sixth Rocky. Now I've decided to be there opening day. Sly seems to be winning hearts and minds one fanboy at a time. I'm also glad that he agrees with my estimation of Dolly Parton as being a national treasure. I'd say the same thing about hoochie-kootchie girl Charro,but she, of course, is Brazilian.
Great by Nightwood	Dec 7th, 2006 03:01:36 PM
but you guys couldn't select one question about Cobra?!? Marion Cobretti, baby.
That Sly Stallone, ...he's one of us, now. (heh,heh) by JDanielP	Dec 7th, 2006 03:04:19 PM
Yeah, I think this is the best feature I've ever seen here at AICN. It is most definitely something that should continue. And like others have said, limit the interviews to top talent and/or living legends. --And allow me to say that I would love to see some great, older tough guy roles open to Stallone. But even more than that, team him with the BEST big budget/action directors in effects driven movies. Bring back the old days and add modern special/visual/computer effects. But don't forget your Batman-style muscle suit, Sly. (heh,heh) And yeah, Pixar could (easily) use Stallone's voice in the sequel to "THE INCREDIBLES", don't you think? Based on a previous answer, Stallone would most obviously be interested. And couldn't you imagine Mr. Incredible being the underdog, with Stallone voicing a younger and more powerful hero or villain???

I had it on my wall in the 80's... Where is it now?! Were am I? Not the same room, house, town... Throwing away a good poster - Damn my testosterone! I must have replaced Cobra's with Sabrina Salerno's ..wet..T...pose..ter...
Rocky's whole life was a million to one shot. by GibsonUSA Returns	Dec 7th, 2006 04:02:26 PM
It's kind of depressing when you think about it. That means that as Rocky made it to the top, 1 million other Rockys got owned lol.
ptindy by Cl_Kilgore	Dec 7th, 2006 04:50:50 PM
Sorry for the long wait for a reply. He has been and done everything. You may not like the guy but he's had a successful movie franchise, successful TV series, been type cast, created a music career(mostly spectacurally bad), fallen to great lows, broke type cast and ressurrected a career, had a successful theater career, has worked with probably 90% of hollywood, suffered great personal tradegy (or something elseif you think he was invovled), and has ascended to American pop icon status. Like Shanter or not the guy would have interesting answers to a thousand questions. And yeah, he has an ego the size of Jupiter. Damn I sound like a huge fanboy, I just find him damn entertaining.

NEW 300 TRAILER!!! by YackBacker	Dec 7th, 2006 06:17:35 PM
This is a fucking trailer: http://tinyurl.com/yzhg4w
Cool. Stallone apparently has a great sense of humor by Orbots Commander	Dec 7th, 2006 06:38:39 PM
and comes off like a pretty classy dude. This has actually changed my mind about not seeing his new Rocky flick in theatres. I was pretty underwhelmed by the concept and was going to wait for the DVD, if not for its HBO premiere. I may actually go to the movies and check this out, though I'm still not going opening day. The next flick I'll go opening day to see is Spiderman 3 (those two trailers were phenomenal). As an aside, some of Sylvester Stallone's best stuff, other than early in his career, was done in the early '90's: Cliffhanger--a great action flick but a fluke because it was directed Renny Harlin and since then he seemingly can't seem to direct traffic; and Demolition Man, a witty and highly underrated action comedy where Stallone appears with a young Sandra Bullock and includes that great Rob Schneider "seashells" line. I remember that line making me laugh out loud in the movie theater back then.
I thought "Oscar" was a fun movie by eraser_x	Dec 7th, 2006 06:47:30 PM
in a retro sort of way. Great for kids. For one thing, it was the first time I saw Marisa Tomei or Tim Curry in a movie, and they were both great.

Far be it for me to give advice to a multi-millionaire movie star, but I think at this point in his career Stallone could be doing more dramas and comedies. It would be cool to see him in, say, an ensemble dramatic film or comedy, playing a small but juicy role in something like The Departed or co-starring in a Farrelly brothers movie---LOL, he could play Ben Stiller's older muscular father. Since he's older and past the action movie stage of his earlier years, I think people would be open to seeing him in different stuff.
Damn you, Michael Keaton... by lynxpro	Dec 7th, 2006 06:56:39 PM
Or "Damn you, Tim Burton". But don't damn The Dark Knight due to their transgressions. Because I'd say most of us are quite satisfied with the current actor playing the role. I'd say Keaton more so because White Noise had such a stupid ending for a flick that held a lot of promise up until that point.
Hey, Keaton was a pretty good Batman. by Orbots Commander	Dec 7th, 2006 07:00:28 PM
Yeah, he didn't have an action hero physique but so what? His acting was understated in the part but strong enough to hold the screen with Jack Nicholson in full over-acting scene stealing mode. I think Christian Bale as Batman is awesome, but Keaton is the 2nd runner up with Clooney and Kilmer coming in 3rd and 4th.
Thanks for the heads up on the Trailer YakBacker! by vivavitalogy	Dec 7th, 2006 07:04:49 PM
It is a pretty sweet trailer. The Nine Inch Nails song was a nice touch.
ORANGE JULIUS! by SK909	Dec 7th, 2006 07:08:04 PM
IT'S A DREAM COME TRUE! - Anyone remember that SNL skit with Sly? He's working in a computer store after getting fired from the Orange Julius in the mall. He tries to sell Will Ferrell a snack machine, telling him it's a computer. He refers to Star Trek and says Captain Clark. Will Ferrell: "Don't you mean Captain Kirk?" Stallone pauses for like 20 seconds and stares into space before saying, "Clark... Captain Clark."
man that trailer gives me the chills by occula	Dec 7th, 2006 07:09:07 PM
the 300 trailer, i mean...although i could live without the corndog line at the end. i realize those lines are all throughout the book, but they just come off like the WB on screen. sorry, off-topic...
re: 300 trailer by YackBacker	Dec 7th, 2006 07:13:04 PM
You're welcome, folks. If the movie is half as good as this trailer, I'll be pleased. It's probably the best trailer I've seen in years.
The Watchmen by vivavitalogy	Dec 7th, 2006 07:24:18 PM
Stick to the source material and all will be fine.
"TONIGHT WE DINE IN HELL!!!!!!!" by Kai_Mah'gra	Dec 7th, 2006 07:38:28 PM
.....sweet. That last shot in the trailer with the remaining Spartans standing in front of, literally, a mountain of corpses, is just freakin Badass. That, my friends, is how you make a trailer. Studios, take note
i'd also like to point out... by occula	Dec 7th, 2006 07:54:31 PM
that, as usual, someone breaks news in an unrelated talkback before it makes it up onto the main page. you snooze, you lose!
I'd put Keaton #1 as Batman by GibsonUSA Returns	Dec 7th, 2006 08:47:53 PM
With Bale #2, then Clooney, then Adam West, then Kilmer.
Judge Dread Henderson by hoorayforeric	Dec 8th, 2006 11:42:40 PM
