the only thing that I care about Rambo, is that 'Hollywood' used a 
little town called Hope, BC to film first blood.
The town is so small and desperate for any claim (sandwiched between 2 
provincial parks, their growth prospects are limited as anything other 
than a truck stop or retirement community), that they still print this 
info. on all their tourism brochures....
Stallone and his buddies hate Canada now, ever since they put one of 
their tacky 'Planet Hollywood' restaurants with substandard fare, 
indifferent service and over-the top pricing to go with a decor one 
would find difficult to describe other than "wtf?" in Vancouver.
People here oddly enough dont like waiting in crowded bars for their 
name to be called when the dining room itself is obviously empty, and 
dont want to line up expectantly hoping that a movie star might grace 
the restaurant with their prescence.
Vancouver is a city where stars usually feel comfortable going to 
starbuck's by themselves- no entourage, and no mad queues of people 
screaming "i love you".
Stallone hates us, because we dont fill his ego needs.
Perhaps he should go to Hope more often....
