The #1 Sylvester Stallone Fan Site in the World!
The candid shot of Sly on location behind-the-scenes while filming “The Expendables” shows what great shape he’s in. People are really starting to take notice. Sly made the top ten list of the Sexiest Celebrities Age 60 or Over. The survey was sponsored by Date.com, Matchmaker.com, and Amor.com and voting was open to single men and women 18 to 55. You can see the full article here.
Congrats to Sly.
That’s Robert Downey, Jr. and Sly from a Vanity Fair photo shoot.
On April 24, 2009, Downey was profiled at Metro International and asked after “Iron Man” and “Sherlock Holmes” what movies were in his future. Downey hinted it could be Stallone’s “Poe” saying:
“Stallone wrote a great script that he wants to direct about Edgar Allen Poe.”
Sly’s “Poe” script has been percolating for years. Some day it will get done and Robert Downey, Jr. would be perfect in the role. For the full article, click here.
I first discovered Jeff Wamester on his ComicSpace page. I really liked Jeff’s art and thought his concept pieces for a futuristic bounty hunter graphic novel had a ton of potential. I’ve continued to follow his postings at DeviantArt.
When Jeff recently offered his sketchbook [along with a free headsketch], I immediately put in my order. Jeff was quick to respond that he got my request. The sketchbook arrived in no time at all and was securely packaged. [If you had a mail carrier like mine, you’d appreciate that!] The sketchbook rocks and contains a nice cross section of Jeff’s work. I’m not sure if it’s still available, but if so, you can’t go wrong by ordering one.
On April 17, 2009, The National Post listed their choices for the Top Ten Sports Movies of All Time. Any guesses who had two films make the list? That’s right, Sly. “Victory” came in at number 8 and “Rocky” was #1. Here’s what they had to say about each film:
8. Victory!
Pele and Sylvester Stallone in the same movie? Count me in, though what I mostly remember about this is trying to watch it on HBO with my father as his snoring pretty much drowned out everything that either men said.
1. Rocky
His whole life was a million to one shot. This movie was so good that they tried making it a million more times. I heard Stallone wrote nearly 100 drafts of the original Rocky script. There’s a reason it one best picture, I guess.

It’s been a while since we heard from SZoner, Adam Shippee, but he’s back with his latest piece of Sly art.
