Slog - Comments on He's not a man, he's a piece of iron. http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/07/hes_not_a_man_hes_a_piece_of_iron You know when all the fanboys were bellyaching about how John McClane got pussified down to a PG-13 for Live Free or Die Hard? Dude, John Rambo doesn't tone it down for anyone. I mean, seriously, the part where he uses the machine gun on the Jeep driver? Holy God....

And the machine gun? Hello, can we say ejaculation metaphor.

Is the machine gun-wielding chick with the giant knockers innit?

The blond gal looks like Julie Benz aka Darla from Buffy. I've been wondering what she's been up to.

Whorfin Gee, I don't think that preview was approved for all audiences by the Motion Picture Association of America.

I was hoping for Rambo to blow the crap out of some rural Washington town like he did in the first movie. Not that I have anything against rural Washington towns....

Really. This is getting sicker by the decade.

I wonder who the bad guys and good guys are and there political ambition to warrant such a rampage. Were they Rebels fighting the muslims encroaching into there ancient ways of life, or were they ex Vietnamese officersgone rogue and mercinary stirring up trouble, or Indonesia is invading Burma. What the hell is going on in Burma that Rambo needs to be there and kill people. Just a movie i know, but it makes me think they wanted him to fight muslim terroists but someone said "no way hollywood not in this political climate. You don't want a jihad on Stallone." so they bowed out and chose Burma and some Asians for him to fight that look like vietnamese soldiers in 2007. They must be mercs or something.Lol.

Some of the past films had way too little blood from the kind of violence that was going on, which has been the traditional Hollywood way of glamorizing violence. This is still glamorized, but it goes the Hong Kong route. Also, the way the preview is directed, it almost makes Rambo's character seem like a real monster. Doesn't matter he's killing the bad guys - he seems like a really fucked up psycho. I'd almost want to watch the movie. BUT Jesus fucking shit Stallone's plastic surgery is the most horrifying piece of fuck-god atrocity I have ever laid eyes on. He beats the noseless wonder MJ by a mile and I am not signing on for that spectacle.
