You Got Off Easy Monster.

This news is kind of old, so you’ll (and I think you know who “you” is) have to forgive my lateness. You may recall this bit of news regarding the fifth coming of our lord and savior, John Rambo. Stallone’s original idea for RAMBO V: THE SAVAGE HUNT was for Rambo to hunt a genetically advanced and savage creature that escaped from a military base. I was apprehensive but willing to give Stallone the benefit of the doubt.

Well it seems that I can have my benefits-of-doubt back because the gears have shifted. The movie mentioned above is going forward without Rambo and the next Rambo movie will be about Rambo going across the border where women have gone missing…I assume Rambo will be investigating the disappearances not-unlike Scooby-Doo; only when he finds the culprit he won’t rip a mask off their face, but instead will rip a face off their face. You can read all about it at Stallone Zone.

The blurb that Stallone gives doesn’t mention which border that Rambo will be crossing. When you hear “border crossing” your mind (as a U.S. citizen) usually jumps right to Mexico, but what if Stallone is throwing us a curve here? What if Rambo is going to Canada? If I lived in Canada I would be afraid…and like ice hockey.

Rambo 5…It’s Happening.

Every night, before my head dents the pillow, I ask the Lord to watch over the people of the world and to grace us with a fifth RAMBO movie. And in his wisdom comes RAMBO V: THE SAVAGE HUNT from Sylvester Stallone. Apparently, the movie will be about John Rambo going after, hunting (if you will) some kind of monster/soldier thing that escapes from some secret military base. This is what is being floated around from Ain’t It Cool News anyway.

Hey, can I be honest with you? Are we cool? Ok, here we go…this isn’t exactly what I wanted to see from a new RAMBO movie. There, I said it, I feel cleansed.

It’s not that I wouldn’t trust Stallone to deliver my first born, I’m not saying that. It’s just that, I never really wanted to see Rambo fighting the Predator. Not that this movie can’t be awesome, because I can definitely see a great movie coming out of this; it’ll just take me a while to get used to the idea. It’s not the movie, it’s me. I wasn’t ready, but maybe, someday, I will be. It will be kind of cool to see Rambo taking on only one enemy instead of an entire army for once. We haven’t seen him ever come across someone who was his equal before; that could be exciting! I’m trying alright. Cut me some slack.
