Rambo vs. Rocky: The Sly Comeback

Stardate 4719.3

It's official. Sylvestor Stallone, who happens to be 59 now, is in the pre-production stages of both Rocky 6 and Rambo 4. Now don't get me wrong... the first few Rocky movies weren't too bad, and I really enjoyed Rambo 1 and 2. That being said, is there room for a 59 year old actor to play the lead in such movies? I mean Rocky could be a believable story, what withthe retired boxer taking on a few low-profile bouts for whatever reason, but as the article goes on, it would appear that he wins, and keeps winning, and the media craze takes it from there. So by the end, he will undoubtedly be fighting Vin Diesel for the World Uber Heavyweight Belt... Come on. Then there is Rambo 4. Fighting terrorists in Afghanistan? Right. Why would they send such a grizzled veteran in on another one-man mission? They couldn't find someone younger? and taller?

I guess only time will tell. Sly doesn't look to be in too bad a shape for a guy pushing 60. And it is infinately better than him taking on say, politics :D
