Monosyllabic Chest-Thumper: Blowhard Businessman and Sylvester Stallone

monosyllabic chest-thumper: Sylvester Stallone who personified righteous fury in iconic films like Rocky and Rambo First Blood Part II was nominated for an Oscar last year for his comeback film, Creed, according to Guelph Mercury. Do you think anyone cares Three weeks ago at the Golden Globes, the 70-year-old action star was given the brush off when Casey Affleck and Matt Damon refused to make room for him at their table. While the blowhard businessman settles into the White House with totalitarian flair, the two behemoths who ruled pop culture during the same decade that spawned The Donald find themselves cast aside as woefully unappreciated relics. Beat it, Stallone, you monosyllabic chest-thumper. And then there's Arnold Schwarzenegger, whose bulbous biceps and stoic resolve as The Terminator turned him into an American icon, a former California governor who once considered a run for the White House himself. Your brand of vigilante overkill is past its expiry date. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
