Do we really need a Rambo 4???

I guess this one ISN'T going to be 'Dedicated to the gallant people of Afghanistan' like the last turgid pile of crap was, now that they are back to being the the bad guys (like they apparently were when they were fighting the Russians that had invaded) instead of now, where the Yanks and Brits have invaded...

Tbh, I've been waiting for this. I miss the good old action flicks of Stallone, Arnold, Bruce Willis etc.

Of those i miss Bruce the most, and he is getting old too. Harrison Ford was tough and Clint Eastwood had the biggest balls of them all. We need new heroes.:hmm:

Vin Diesel, The Rock, Jackie Chan?? I dont think so

I have started to collect old series - partially very old series - on DVD. The new films and series since a couple of years are too crappy in design and acting as if I could bear to watch them.

that's the bad thing with yearly movie awards: they give the impression that something was worth to be awared, since the award has to be spend in a given year. It says nothing about how that movie-year compares to an earlier one. Sometimes you have more good movies in a year than there are awards on a festival, so there are more loosers than winners. In other years the awards go to movies that do nor deserve it, compared to earlier winners.

So ein Stuss!

The new type of Action heroes cant compete with the old
as Vin Diesel, the rock have a attitude issue. its that attitude thats a knock out.

give me the old, silent brutes that just blast everything in their paths

Problem is, the old Superstar of the 80s is dead.
Not only in movies, also in music and any other entertainment branch.
Today, you have guys for specific target groups: Vin Diesel for wannabe violent white kids, a black guy (can't think of anyone specific right now) for "black" audiences etc, Jet Li or Chow Jun Fat for asians or generally Kung Fu inclined people...
The 80s action heroes were pretty much for everybody.

Actually I had expected Rambo to return, but I had supposed he was to return to Afghanistan, maybe to fight against his allies from Rambo III...
But apparently this was politically too hot, so they sent Rambo into one of the few states on earth that has a regime generally accepted to be evil...

The Rambo movies were set in a different location every time, I wouldn't have imagined they'd change that.
