The #1 Sylvester Stallone Fan Site in the World!
Jay Potts, the creator of the very hip blaxplotation web comic World of Hurt, worked up a Barney Ross, Expendables sketch for me.
Before you click over to Jay’s web comic, be advised that World of Hurt is suggested for MATURE READERS due to violence, profanity and a bunch of other stuff that can be found in the best blaxplotation movies. If it sounds like your stick, then click.
As regular readers know, I am really looking forward to the premiere of Homefront on November 27th!
Homefront stars Jason [“The Expendables” franchise] Statham, James [“Rise of the Planet of the Apes”] Franco, Winona [“Black Swan”] Ryder, Kate [“Superman Returns”] Bosworth, Frank [“The Grey”] Grillo and Clancy [“Highlander”] Brown in a screenplay written by Sylvester Stallone [based on the novel by Chuck Logan] and directed by Gary [“Things to Do in Denver When You’re Dead”] Fleder.
HOMEFRONT is an action movie about a widowed ex-DEA agent who retires to a small town for the sake of his 10-year-old daughter. The only problem is he picked the wrong town.
I was contacted by the folks at Open Road who are promoting Homefront and asked if I would like to put together a contest for a special prize pack including a Homefront poster signed by the cast along with a copy of the book that inspired the film signed by author, Chuck Logan. Of course I was in.
Here are the details…
best,
Craig

Here’s our Grudge Match news for the week…
On November 12, 2013, HeyUGuys! posted Jason Statham and James Franco Collide in New TV Spot for Homefront.
Escape Plan has stated opening around the world and is doing much better in those markets than it did in the US. Here is your Escape Plan news for the week.
On November 15, 2013, Sly was out with some friends and as usual was dogged by paparazzi. Sly is used to their behavior and as regular readers know, Sly interacts positively with them despite the annoyance that they can cause. As Sly was walking down the street and speaking to friends he made a comment about them or one of them.
It’s hard to tell from the audio what exactly was said, but TMZ made a post that Sly had “hurled” the “N-word” at them. First of all, if it is hard to tell what was said, does it make sense to say that he “hurled” anything at anyone? Next, isn’t it safe to assume that had he said the “N-word” there would have been a major commotion?
At the time Sly wasn’t even aware that he was being accused of using the “N-word” or you can be sure, knowing Stallone, that he would have stopped and addressed it immediately. Despite reporters speaking to others who were there and who have denied Stallone’s use of the word, and a professional audio engineer who analyzed the recording and confirmed that Stallone didn’t use the “N-word” the story took on a life of its own.
This is Erin Humiston’s first appearance in my Stallone Sketch Gallery.
I met Erin a couple of years ago at a MegaCon Convention. I liked Erin’s animation style and thought it would be cool to see his take on a Sly character.
Erin did a sketch of Sly from Paradise Alley. I actually thought I had shared it earlier, but in checking today see that I didn’t. I’ll fix that and post it in a week or two. In the mean time we have Erin’s take on Sly as Jack Carter.
You can see more of Erin’s art at his website and Facebook page.
Here’s the new character poster for Grudge Match starring Sly Stallone and Robert Deniro. The poster features Jon [“The Walking Dead,” “Mob City”] Bernthal.
