Sly, (still) beyond recovery?

The trailer has dropped for Sylvester Stallone’s Rambo V: Last Blood, and Sly is treading the boards in Cannes (money quote: “I’m almost a political atheist”). Over at Consequence of Sound Michael Roffman dubs this an “R-Rated Home Alone” and, more damningly, “porn for the MAGA crowd.”

"Who do I gotta kill for people to like me?"

Perhaps there is no more fitting time to recall the subversive movie that started it all, Sly’s personal Last Tango In Paris, from which he never truly recovered — First Blood.
