The sell date is out on Instone’s high protien pudding. What I found interesting is that this particular Instone product has Sly’s actual name on it. The others don’t or at least not yet ?

Anyway, here’s a pic. Can’t wait to try it !

New SLY Magazine

Craig / / 2004, Sly Magazine

Sly Stallone’s next starring role will be as the lead of a new monthly magazine geared towards men. The magazine called Sly, will have a focus on health, fitness and lifestyle with a target audience of men in the 35+ age group. Sly will premiere in January.

American Media will publish Sly. An American Media spokesman was quoted as saying, “We know that Sylvester will be actively involved in the editorial process every month.” It had not yet been decided if Sly would appear on the cover of every issue.

Sly magazine aligns nicely with Stallone’s line of health and fitness products under the company name of Instone.

Rocky: One of the All Time Best

Craig / / 2004, Honors, Rocky

Dennis O’Connell’s Entertainment Column for October 15, 2004 at AskMen.com lists the Top Ten All Time Best Movie Characters. And you just know that Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky made the list. Coming in at #9, here is what was said:9. Rocky

Rocky Balboa has delivered some cheesy speeches in his lifetime (anyone remember Rocky IV, where Balboa single-handedly melted the Cold War?). Regardless, no one saw Rocky for its intricate plots or Oscar worthy acting. They did, however, watch the Rocky series for the macho and epic battles between man and his enemy. Rocky made you want to be a boxer, executed flawlessly by all-around class act, Sylvester Stallone.

Robert Rodriguez to Helm “Rambo 4”?

Craig / / 2004, Celebs, Rambo 4

On Monday, October 11, 2004, Moviehole.com posted that talks are underway for Robert Rodriguez reteam with his “Spy Kids 3D : Game-Over” co-star Sylvester Stallone on a proposed fourth “Rambo” film.

Rodriguez is apparently interested in directing and perhaps even writing “Rambo 4.” According to the source Sly also serve as producer and wants the film to be less of “Rambo 3” and more “First Blood” this time around.

Rambo Ultimate Editions

Craig / / 2004, Rambo 2, Rambo 3

On November 23rd the Rambo Ultimate Collection will be released as a three disc set.

First Blood, Rambo II, and Rambo III will also be re-released individually as Ultimate Editions.

While I’m not sure what new extras these editions will have, I do really like the new packaging and will keep you informed of additional info on the Ultimate series as it becomes available.

It’s great to see Sly‘s movies getting special treatment. This can only add to the positive buzz that’s building..

Thanks to Tarek for the tip!
