RAMBO, and The Art of the Boycott by Frank Palmcoast



When he's not watching, with beads of sweat, his fellow, legally blind, senior citizens parallel park, Frank Palmcoast is catching seven dollar movies at the local multiplex from sunny Pompano Beach, Florida. He's retired, he's angry at the world, he can't spell to save his life, and he hates Hollywood almost as much as Hilary Clinton, but that will not stop our irreverent, dementia fightin', AARP card carrying everyman from giving us a fresh take on all things Hollyweird. Besides, how can he pass up that marvelous senior citizen discount?

This week our Senior film critic offers his take on the new Rambo feature and offers up his boycott list of 2008!


************************************************

The next time Sly thinks about making a movie he should just go to bed, call his wet nurse and dream he's still important! This flick reminds me of Mohammad Ali's numerous comebacks. It has all the classic one liners, "Hero's never die, they just reload". Rambo the Viagra man. Now he is in Burma, who gives a rats ass what happens there. He's retired
and living in all places---the jungle. I ponder how a retired vet gets his army paycheck in the jungle and he's the only possible human that can get fat in the jungle! Another one liner, "It's not my fight".If your a real man you will go see Rambo, if not, stay home and watch Sex In the City or Oprah! John Rambo is one pissed off vet.A Lot of explosions, lots of decapitations. lots of exploding heads and a few arrows to the face--it's not Mary Poppins!
He kills, he maims, he disembowels all those evil Asians--god bless America.I think he would perform his stunts better if he would use his walker. This is a chick flick for men and having said all the above I must say,"Rambo is a bloody good time"!

************************************************

I the expert boycotter, have been negligent in my boycotting duties. Have no fear, I will present my " 10 boycott list". My new found duties, music and film critic has to a degree hampered by efforts in the boycott field. The following items definetly need serious boycotting: 1). Betty White and her petmed commercials, 2) RLS, restless leg syndrome 3)Shrines that are erected for dead actors 4) Volume that's increased on commercials 5) Half the time of any program is devoted to commercials 6)Restricting pets in condos 7) Mentally Old people 8)Andre Rieu Concerts 9)Pony tails on old guys and last but not least, 10)Bob Dylan singing to Burkowski. More to follow!

I assume that Mr. Palmcoast meant BUKOWSKI not BURKOWSKI.

I am a Bukowski fan and a Dylan fan and find Mr. Palmcoast's attack of them vile...but he's right about Andre Riue...mother of god I can't take that guy and his tiny tim hair!

Everyone should know that Mr. Palmcoast IS a retired fellow living in Florida who rants - it's not any one of us "acting" like a senior citizen .... he exists - truly, and he sees lots of movies and he never hits spell check, and that's why we love him at The Boutros Boutros Follies. The only thing that could be funnier and more wonderful, is if I can get him on tape - but he's shy. Maybe if he keeps developing a fan base we will be able to convince him.

Keep tuning in for more reviews from Mr. Palmcoast....
