ROCKY VI: Filming Starts in December!

Craig / / 2005, Rocky 6

Although rumored for years, most people thought that Sly would never return to the big screen in the role that made him a worldwide megastar.

The odds were against the original Rocky being made and were probably even greater to get the latest installment to the big screen. But Sly has done it.

Rocky VI starts filming in December.

Rambo Action Figures

Craig / / 2005, First Blood, Rambo

My buddy, Randy Martin [who has the coolest art collection] gave me a heads-up on a couple of new Rambo action figures that would soon be available.

The first is actually Colonel Troutman from First Blood and the second is John Rambo. Although a bit pricey,
they would look cool in any Stallone fan’s collection.

You can see more about the figures HERE and HERE.

Mark Dambach just wrote in to say that they are now available for pre-order. Mark went HERE and Randy
said that he uses THIS PLACE.

Sly Demands the Best for Sly Magazine

Craig / / 2005, Celebs, Sly Magazine

In a profile [from Business Week Online for October 3, 2005] of David Pecker, chairman and CEO of American Media Inc., which publishes of The National Enquirer, The Star, Shape, and Sly [and other mags]; Pecker had this to say about working with celebs: “But ‘to tell you the truth, it hasn’t been fun” dealing with celebs, says Pecker. “Sly‘s been unbelievably aggressive” in his demands for his magazine.”

I find that quote absolutely refreshing. If you read the profile, you’ll see that magazines are in a battle to stay alive. Circulations are down. The fact that Sly is taking a REAL interest in giving his magazine personality and HIS distinct voice shows a genuine passion. Whether of not the mag goes past the initial 3 planned and published issues won’t be because Sly didn’t do his part.
