Default Rocky, Rambo - How Many Times Have You Seen Them?
AMC is running an all Stallone weekend this weekend. I can't get enough Rocky and Rambo, ESPECIALLY Rambo.

i think some of his fan's embrace of stallone's humorless macho iconography is a result of an unconscious sexual conflict.

schwatznagger at least leavened his rolls with a wink and a nod.

and it's not that i'm endorsing stallone comedy's.

he sucks. consciously and unconsciously.

I tought the new Rambo kicked a$$. Some pretty vile scenes in it.

and ROcky II is my favorite. I rewind the part (4 times at least) when they both go down and Rock gets up while Creed hits the turnbuckle. My buddy LOVES the new Rocky, whereas I thought it was just okay.

Stallone's best movie besides Rocky I IMO (not a huge fan of Rambo)
