Nothing.

It’s an old rumour that was never true.

Has anybody noticed a massive decline on mobile functionality on BigFooty? I've never had any issues until about a month ago. I suspect this Billy Brownless ad may be the culprit...

I found massive lag issues when browsing Bigfooty on Google Chrome today, but the tapatalk/bigfooty app works completely fine.

Apparently the plane of Earth's equator passed through the centre of the Sun this afternoon, but I forgot to look out the window.

I've seen this - the first two acts are slow as fu** and it's probably a 4/10 at best...but the last act, when he goes on a killing spree - 10/10 for gratuitous violence. Especially the last kill. I don't think I've ever heard a cinema laugh with glee at how people were getting killed before.

Is it a Rambo movie? Because it looks more like generic Stallone action flick (which there is nothing wrong with), but no jungle, long hair, headband, or bigass knife has me apprehensive that he's ruined what was a perfect ending in 4.

The best way I can describe it is that it's the Rambo version of Superman 2 where he goes into that chamber and loses his powers. Or like Samson with his hair cut off. There's a reason for it that makes a lot of sense. This is more of an insight into him trying to be 'normal'.

The last act is definitely Rambo.

I understand why they did it - and it could have been done a lot better - but it's still pretty good. The thing is, I didn't think 4 had the perfect ending - him going home didn't make any sense to me, because the impression I got was that he couldn't wait to leave. And it didn't to Stallone either - that's why he said 'He came home, but he never really arrived.'

Let's put it this way - the first two acts are a generic Stallone action flick. The third act is a Rambo movie. I'm glad I went to see it, but I can understand why some people wouldn't like it.

And he's definitely got a big ass knife. It's called the Heartstopper:

Any chance of getting Mr. Ostara as the new Port head coach?

You mean Miss Ostara. It's a female Germanic deity.

What are it's measurements to the first 4? It definitely looks smaller in the trailer.

It's also not in a traditional Bowie style, his knives from Expendables are more like 'Rambo'. His knives in the background of his apartment in Rocky are closer.

Rambo returning home in 4 was perfect. It was him coming to terms with things and forgiving his country for the way it treated him. The war was over. I get the 'he never arrived' angle but it would wanna be done damn well to be worth it.

Also the pacifist missionaries beating people to death with their bare hands by the end of the film after they worship at the alter of John R Rambo.

That would be a worthwhile brag if Rambo was some sort of pop culture juggernaut.

Guy in 2019 hasn't seen movie from indifferently regarded franchise that peaked in 1985. More at 11.

The blade is 230mm long. So it would be on par with the original Bowie from First Blood 1 and 2.

There's a reason why it's not done in the traditional Bowie style. It's not a survival knife. It's a knife for killing - hence why it's got two live edges...it's more like a dagger.

The first two had a saw blade edge of the other side - though I don't think they are very effective. Also so did the Rambo 3 concept that was used for one scene before they changed it.

Double sided knives are bloody dangerous. Nearly lost my fingers a few times playing with my Blackhawk.

Re the new Rambo, Stallone is beginning to look like his mother did when she used to bob up regularly on talk shows about 30 years ago.
That wide thin lipped mouth of theirs is bad enough without help, but she used to load it up with bright red lipstick, which made her look stomach churning hideous.
