Catching up with Sylvester StalloneSylvester Stallone is one of a few action superstars who've been making comebacks on the big screen, like Arnold Schwarzenegger. The “Rocky” star is back as ruthless hit man James Bonomo in his latest crime-thriller, “Bullet to the Head,” which opened in theaters on Friday. His character forms an alliance with a Washington, D.C., detective (Sung Kang) to take down a common enemy.
Stallone, who has been in the movie business since the ‘70s, joked with CNN at the “Bullet to the Head” premiere that he’s got nothing new to learn from his young whippersnapper co-stars. “Nothing, absolutely nothing!” he laughed. “No actually, you know what you get from them? You just want to beat them up! Only because they’re competent and they’re young, so they bring out your best.” On a more serious note, Stallone reflected on Hollywood’s contribution to the country's issue with gun violence - a relevant topic as his “Bullet to the Head” isn't shy about gun use, releasing in the wake of several mass shootings. “Movies are ridiculous!” Stallone admits. “Can you imagine if we were out there with blunderbusses?” Despite making violent films, Stallone publicly supports a ban on assault weapons. “It’s really, really a tough position, because you’re sitting there and [thinking], what if you make the weapons kind of cute," he says of Hollywood's treatment of guns. "But they’re still violent. I don’t know, it’s complicated.” Despite the complex topic, Stallone kept it light at the premiere: “Are you armed?” he said with a wink.

  About this blog
Our daily cheat-sheet for breaking celebrity news, Hollywood buzz and your pop-culture obsessions.  |
This man exudes masculinity & has such a wit! I love his humor (and his eyes!)
Good times and bum times, I've seen them all and, my dear,
I'm still here!
Gold statue sometimes,
Sometimes a kick-in-the-rear, but I'm here
Now one day you're hailed for blazing trails
Next you're nailed for fingernails
Either they cheer or they jeer, but I'm here
I've heard them say song writing, acting, producing,
What makes her think that she can? Or better yet song writing, acting, producing
What does she think, she's a man?
One day a Tony, Tuesday you're top of the Bill
So I'm here!
Wednesday you're phony, Thursday you're over the hill
But I'm here!
Now I've kept my clothes and kept me space
I've kept my nose to spite my face
Still once you say you won't
Keep your place loud and clear
Once you announce you're directing all you hear is...
Everybody says don't, everybody says don't
Everybody says don't, it isn't right!
Don't, it isn't nice!
Everybody says don't, everybody says...
Don't tell me not to live, just sit and putter,
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter,
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade.
Don't tell me not to fly, I've simply got to, If someone takes a spill,
it's me and not you,
Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade
I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum,
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir,
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir,
I guess I didn't make it
Get ready for me love, 'cause I'm a-comin'
I simply gotta march, my heart's a-drummin'
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade,
I'm gonna live and live NOW!
Get what I want, I know how!
One roll for the whole shebang!
One throw that bell will go clang,
Eye on the target and wham,
One shot, one gun shot and bam!
Hey, look at me world, here I am...
I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum,
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir,
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir,
I guess I didn't make it
Get ready for me life, 'cause I'm a-comin'
I simply gotta march, my heart's a-drummin'
Nobody, no, nobody, is gonna rain on my parade!

"It [2nd Amendment] has to be stopped, and someone really has to go on the line, a certain dauntless political figure, and say, ‘It’s ending, it’s over, all bets are off. It’s not 200 years ago, we don’t need this anymore, and the rest of the world doesn’t have it. Why should we?"
Sylvester Stallone on Access Hollywood, June 8, 1998
This says it all. I will not be supporting "Bullet to the Head" while he works to infringe our rights. He continues to make money off of guns. They are a good thing when they are behind your paycheck, right Sly?
baaaaaaaaaaaawaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
yes
Eyebrows?
Ask not what your poop can do for you. Ask what you can do for your poop.
I got to admit, I'm a sucker for a Stallone action movie. I know they aren't Oscar worthy, but they are usually pretty entertaining. Maybe it's his fine acting ability (kidding on that one). I think somebody got a little happy doing his eyebrows, though.
Good l¤rd, happened to his face?
Reblogged this on Bag Lady Boutique.
