Out of all the famous musicians/artists she must know, it’s hard to wrap your head around picking that dude.

It’s almost retroactively subversive, I suppose you could say - since the latter Rambos have nearly erased the idea of First Blood, and the latter Rambo character has entered pop culture history as a byword for being over-the-top violent. Rediscovering First Blood would feel like a subversion of the dominant Rambo…

He literally only kills one (1, uno, singular) person in First Blood, and that’s mostly through sheer dumb luck. And not even with a gun or knife.

Oh yeah. Even a few years delay in those first 3 or 4 books could have really killed the momentum. 

I’ve said it before: Cruise’s best roles are the ones where Tom Cruise’s charms fail to help the character, and he has to fall back on other things. Trying and failing to avoid deployment in Edge of Tomorrow? Trapped in the chair while PSH counts down from 10 in Mission: Impossible 3? The gotcha interview in Magnolia?…

I’ve known people who have said they did not understand it was satire or that the humans are clearly fascists and I just can’t comprehend that when Doogie Houser walks into the third act dressed like an SS officer.

I can honestly say it is an astonishing thing to watch.

I mean there’s no need for anyone to say anything on Twitter ever and frankly the world would be better off without it but I agree.

The term “elevated horror” gets thrown around a lot these days, but you don’t hear much about “elevated action.”

Ah yes, I think he’s using Brian Eno’s tried and true lyrical methodology of opening up a copy of Chicken Soup For The Soul and picking phrases at random

It’s a pretty great poster. And a fun possible indicator of age. Not that a twentysomething couldn’t have a Res Dogs poster but I suspect you’re probably closer to this ol’ Xennial than not.

He was Detective Victor Isbecki in the 1980s cop show Cagney & Lacey. I know these days “coproganda” shows like that are viewed more skeptically, but in the context of the story, he was a reasonably good guy.

His character in Rambo 2 really doesn’t deserve to be lumped in with the other villains like he is. He clearly has no choice about abandoning Rambo at the prison camp and has a ton of remorse about it, but still gets nailed in the balls at the end.

“There was a dream that was Rome, where landowners conscript their lessers to help murder those we deem uncivilized. Where slaves flow like water. Where women have very little power and also we eat and drink lead all the time.”

Yeah, 220, 221. Whatever it takes. 

I think the problem with mystique was they cast Jennifer Lawrence JUST before she got huge, and then they decided they had to build the franchise around her, just in time for her to be like "fuck that, kill me off."

Why isn’t Liev playing him?!

That’s cute, I’m glad, the original X-Men didn’t do anything with Sabretooth as a character except have him growl and throw things...it doesn’t look like this is going to give him that Oscar clip either but at least it’s fun...Liev Schrieber the better actual Sabretooth for sure even in that shit movie

And Downey famously was actually considered a huge risk at the time because of his history as tabloid fodder.

I thought Liev Schrieber was a great Sabretooth.
