Hey, Stallone won an Oscar for screenwriting, which is more than I ever did.
Yes, that is correct — Stallone beat Paddy Chayevsky for Network, Walter Bernstein for The Front and Lina Wertmuller for Seven Beauties. Then he went on to make Judge Dredd.
I was, of course, only denigrating the reading comprehension of Rambo the character, not the erudite, accomplished and apparently unstoppable Mr. Stallone himself. And to be fair to him, Judge Dredd still has a reasonable shot of becoming a sassy daytime TV court-show host. I have no fresh material on Over The Top, Oscar or Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot! so we’ll move on.
It must be odd, come to think of it, to have written dialog that Stallone has in fact uttered in a film. Is it odd?
I woke up from a weird Scott Baio-centered dream the other night and flipped on the TV just in time to see James Spader tell you to “Bite me, Larry” the other night. That was a bit surreal as well.
Todd Alcott is a screenwriter living in Los Angeles with his wife and his kids and his cats and his dogs. He has worked on many feature films and has sometimes been credited for thus. You may have seen one.
To me, it looks more like, “Rambio has congestion.”
Rambo: This time he’s Hitler
or something
Re: Rambo: This time he’s Hitler
Yeah, or something.
Rambo is a big drip…
More like Rambo has post-nasal drip.
Haha. Poor Rambo.
Hey, as an appriciator of lolcats, have you come across this before?

Who does not enjoy a cat that looks like Hitler?
He looks disappointed.
He’s probably hurt because I didn’t write more about his poster.
You really think he’d read more than three words?

While the part was not written expressly for him, I think Stallone’s work in Antz is exemplary.
I can’t remember if it was me, the producer or Spader who came up with the brilliant turn of phrase “Bite me, Larry.”
Rambo is so cool, his likeness has been plastered all over town in cut-out graffiti like he’s a rebel political movement.
I know what you mean.
It looks like a severed head on a pike.
Well, that would make me sad.
