Sly directs with passion. High above to the right, Sly has the monitors transferred above on the enlarged screen –something he wouldn’t have access to–to view the dailies. – Ucon Cornelius

Robert Sanchez from The Movie Reporter.com posted this on January 6th:
Sly Stallone and his brother Frank showed up at last nights VW shindig and we had to ask what was going on with these two [Rocky and Rambo – Craig] long rumored projects. To my surprise Stallone mentioned that he had meetings that same day regarding Rambo and that both projects are in the works.

SZoner, CBEARHUG were and some friends met up with artist, Bill Pruitt back in July when they were visiting Universal City Walk. CBEARHUG sent in the following report:
Bill paints at, Cafe tu tu Tango, a popular bar and grill. All of the artists line up along the sides of the circular outside/inside bar and grill. There are usually 5-7 artists there at any one time. Bill’s work always stands out.
As luck would have it Bill was there working on a new Rocky Balboa painting. We all knew that Bill was a fantastic artist and a great guy, but what we didn’t know what is that he’s also an accomplished magician! Bill took time to show us a few tricks and to sign some autographs.
By the way, the Rocky painting should appear in a future issue of Sly.
Wow! Another awesome Bill Pruitt painting! CBear, thanks for the report! – Craig

The December 2, 2005, issue of Entertainment Weekly contains an article titled “Hollywood Pulls the Trigger” by Benjamin Svetkey which looks at how Hollywood deals with controversial subjects. Here’s what it says about Rambo:
Rambo: First Blood Part II [1985] Stallone‘s veiny mercenary drew both pride and scorn as the ultimate representation of the Reagan-era global machismo.
