The coolest darn interview

[Michael Stuart Kelly]

Here is the coolest darn interview with Sylvester Stallone for his new movie, The Expendables.

I wanted to embed this on OL, but I can't. You have to click the link and go there.

It's hard to impress me on something like this, but I'm impressed.

A lot.

This thing is coolness incarnate.

For those over 50 looking to increase their fitness, check out Stallone's book, "Sly Moves". He wrote it in 2005.

That is poetry in motion, man.

I wonder how they pulled off some of that tech? Help from You Tube, I'd imagine?

[Philip Coates]

That was great.

Without stirring Riggenbach to apoplexy by poking him with a sharp stick, I'd like to say that one of the things I've always liked about Sly is his underlying intelligence. The slyness, if you will. He can be quite witty when he doesn't have to be Rambo.

I wish I remembered the movie, but he did a romantic comedy type film only once. And he was quite good at it. Less the macho action hero than a remarkably intelligent, quite verbal and slick Cary Grant-like sophisticated and clever character.

But can you guess how the critics reacted???? That's right. He has *never* tried that since.

Just stick to your knitting, we've got you typecast and don't wanna think about it any more, Slurred Speech Proletarian Muscles Raw Eggs-And-Machine Gun boy!
