Rocky or Rambo?

“Judge Dredd” Makes the Cut
On April 26, 2010, io9.com posted a piece titled The Top 10 Weirdest Songs from Superhero Movies. Coming in at #3 was Dredd Song by The Cure. Here’s what they had to say:
3.) “Dredd Song” by The Cure (Judge Dredd; 1995)
Why was “Dredd Song” such a perfect fit for the Judge Dredd movie? Because Robert Smith’s emotive warbling had about as much in common with the original 2000 AD as Sly Stallone spandex-rassling with Armand Assante for 90 minutes. Why didn’t they just use Anthrax’s “I Am The Law,” the best song about Judge Dredd ever written? Still, this song is solid.
You can hear the song and see the rest of the selections by going here.
“Demolition Man” Makes the Cut
On April 25, 2010, Shadowlocked.com posted a piece called Top 10 Scenes of Claustrophobic Horror in Movies. Coming in at #7 was Demolition Man. Here’s why it was chosen:
There’s nothing in itself terribly claustrophobic about the notion of suspended animation, so frequently used in films such as Planet Of The Apes (1968) and the same year’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. You’re out cold anyway, right? The horror of unjustly-imprisoned cop Sly Stallone in Demolition Man is that he later recounts that he was conscious throughout the many decades of his aspic imprisonment.

Hollywood Collectibles: Rambo Sneak Peak
Mark, from Hollywood Collectibles, contacted me last night with the following e-mail:
Hey Craig,
How are you? Well I hope!
Thought you might like to be the first to show this teaser pic of the painted Rambo 4 Quarter scale statue. Pretty cool huh!
Stands approx 20″ tall (with base) to the top of his head, ie. not including the extra height the bow adds.
Hope you like it, when we officially announce it we can do a discount for your guys as before.
Thanks,
Mark
Thanks for the sneak peak, Mark. My guess is that many SZoners will start saving now, because they’ll want to own one of the new Rambo statues. You guys at Hollywood Collectibles always put out great products and this piece will make a great addition to any Stallone fan’s collection. Thanks for keeping us in the loop!
Fatima Camiloza’s Jack Carter
This week we have a watercolor piece of Sly as Jack Carter by Fatima Camiloza. I saw Fatima’s art here and noticed that she was doing ten dollar 4″x6″ watercolor pieces. I liked Fatima’s art enough to give it a go and the piece above is the end result.
I’m extremely pleased to have a piece by Fatima in my collection… and perhaps there will be more in the future!
Imagine Sly as Superman
On April 21, 2010, Ilya Salkind was interviewed by Tom MacLean for Newsarama,com about the Superman movies. One of the areas discussed involved the casting of the man of steel. Here’s a taste of who Salkind said was considered:
More well-known actors considered for the part included Sylvester Stallone, who Salkind says was “a little bit difficult to imagine” in the role, as well as James Caan, Burt Reynolds and Robert Redford.
Others given consideration for the role included Salkind’s ex-wife’s dentist, Bruce Jenner, Jon Voight and even Neil Diamond!
It’s an interesting interview and you can read it in its entirety here.
