I remember reading First Blood after I saw the movie -- I was, what, 13? 12? -- and thinking, Huh. This is actually really good. (As I recall, the book was actually more violent than the movie, which probably seems implausible now.) Now, upon seeing this trailer for the new Rambo movie, I've gotta think that it's probably not how David imagined things would play out. This looks...bad. Really, really bad.

DEATH WISH goes to Burma. After that trailer, what's left to see in the movie proper - Sly emoting?

Come on, dude. The bit with the generic guard guy getting chopped into large yet discrete chunks of meat by a .50 caliber machine gun from two feet away? That's some good cinema, right there.

Will Morrell be doing the novelization for this one? Has he done all the others, or did he pass on one?
