  The Rambo Report - Five Films...

  From the beginning, Rambo was more than a character in a 1972 novel by David Morrell. He was the culmination of the author's personal encounters with veterans returning from the Vietnam War. The 1982 movie adaptation of First Blood reflected the novel's powerful insights into a troubled veteran's postwar experience. Then in 1985, the film's explosive sequel Rambo: First Blood Part II transformed the character into something shockingly different. With a focus on blood-and-guts action, Rambo became an invincible one-man army. A new kind of hero for a new day in America. A pop-culture icon as controversial as he was crowd-pleasing—blasting his way through the influential action film franchise in Hollywood history. The Rambo legend was born. 
   
   
   
  Five feature films. Three novels. Seven video games. Countless comic books, action figures, and even an animated show for kids. The Rambo machine has been as unstoppable as Rambo himself. Now for the first time, Hollywood insider Nat Segaloff digs deep into the man, the myth, and the massive impact of the phenomenon known as "The Rambo Effect." Packed with behind-the-scenes anecdotes, cultural insights, and debates about violence in the media, this is an explosive no-holds-barred report from the front lines of Hollywood mythmaking. A must-listen for Rambo fans, movies buffs, and anyone interested in American culture.

I go beside, I say, Nam BABA ( Yes Dad). After one month, I said with hand hint, BABA, I want a mobile phone. Hand put on ear like mobile phone. Although, I know the mother and Father words in Arabic ( BABA and MAMA). I say by hint, I want to call BABA. Put MY hand on my ear, three or four times, say BABA...BABA… …..BABA…. .BABA…...BABA…In my old house only burning kerosene lamps. Who was made by mom. I mean all the facilities weren't. Yet my father was always happy.Some days I took a rest. I met friends in the village. Walk in all the streets of my village. My father did use words of welcome when he met anyone like Hindu, they said, Jai Rama. With Muslim people As Salamo Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barkatahu. As I was used forever. In my village, there were hated people, arrogant people, jealous, adult boys who were naughty, hooligans, and romantic.But don't problems don't disturb anyone, they know that the government gives the same power to the poor or rich.And the most important thing from grandfather to grandfather is to live and die. Forefathers is an introduction. They can solve their problems.Everyone has a citizenship. They have the same rights. If there are any problems.Dad's advice I didn't accept. Because I want to see many people in different places. It is my most favorite hobby. Such as, London, Hong Kong, UAE, New York, Katmandu, etc. I have no money but have a dream about it.At night I lost my green dream. Who makes me foolish during this time? And word out of the heart, Alas, I took birth in London. Alas, I was born in the Tata Family, either Mukesh Ambani. Alas, I took birth in an Indian leader's house.All of the above thoughts, that I am not sad in my life.How good, if I live already rich? I buy all my desired things.

  In the summer of 1986, the song "Rumors" by Timex Social Club dominated the radio airwaves, topping all Billboard magazine urban charts with the number position for Hot 100 Black Singles, Hot Black Singles - Sales, Hot Black Singles-Airplay, Hot Dance/Disco-Club Play, and Hot Dance/Disco-12 inch singles sales. 
  This was no small feat for four young men from Berkeley California (Marcus Thompson, Alex Hill, Michael Marshall, and Kevin Moore) who were unknown songwriters at the time. 
  Along with instant stardom came a treacherous ride through the music business. A journey filled with greed, broken friendships, and culminating with the group break up less than one year later. 
  How Do Rumors Get Started is a powerful, edgy, and amusing look behind the scenes of rap music in the mid-80s.
