I have nothing but four letter words for this guy now:
Movie Talk: Sylvester Stallone Blames 'Batman' for Decline of '80s Action Heroes
Excerpt:
"The action movies changed radically when it became possible to Velcro your muscles on," a clear dig at how the trim Keaton was encased in a sculpted Batsuit for the film. Stallone joked, "I wish I had thought of Velcro muscles myself... "I didn't have to go to the gym for all those years."
"The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow...How did it come to this?"
Yup...he's a Bone-Head alright.
Let's not forget the fact that he was busted for doing liposuction to improve that chiseled physique.
Remember what I said about body builders who can't act being forced out of hollywood thanks to special fx? Even then Italian Stallion agrees with me.
Just kneel. It's easier that way.

He's taking a lot of heat for this one, and rightly so. Busted for steroids, human growth hormone, etc... Lots of bad plastic surgery. Kinda hypocritical. He's 64 and looks great, but there's no need to make a comment like that. I'm guessing he's seeing the end of his career coming soon, and maybe feels that he doesn't need to play the politics anymore, and can basically say what he wants. Knowing him, this doesn't really seem to fit his character, especially given the ride he's had in this industry and the jillions of dollars he's made... I was a little surprised he came out with this, myself.
I'll see him at the premiere of Expendables, I'll ask him what's up and report back.
SC
he has a point he's been in the business a real long time he has seen it all .telling it like it is good for him !

What's wrong with stating the obvious?
you can leave your hat on
Yeah, reading the article, I have no idea why someone would get mad at it/him. Isn't it the truth?
The full article is here, btw:

Sculpted muscles are the least of the problems with putting Batman in a rubber S&M suit and having him talk like Cookie Monster...
Fear the monkeybat!
>Busted for steroids, human growth hormone, etc...
'Course how much of that is a case of bigorexia exacerbated by being a movie tough guy?
