As for that last one, it took me many years to get around to watching classics like the "Terminator," "Rambo," and "Rocky" series, and so on. Nowadays, people get the new old version. I literally smacked my forehead in disbelief when I found out a few hours ago that Stallone is starring in a new "Rambo" movie, called, creatively enough, "Rambo." Added to "Rocky Balboa" and whatever the new "Indiana Jones" movie is called (plus Star Wars Episode I-III, now that I think of it), I can't help but cringe at what Hollywood must be thinking. "Hey, this made us a lot of money a few decades ago! Let's pick up where we left off!" I'm sorry, Mr. Balboa, but you're no longer a heavyweight boxing champion. Let it go already.
