rambo 3 live! your worst nightmare on twitter
Posted by Rick Rey
Rambo 3 Live! on Twitter
What happens when you cross the absurdity and pure awesomeness of an 80's action movie with the instantaneous, info-overloaded, gimme-more culture of the social web?


It's Rambo 3 Live! A no-holds barred public live commentary of my experience watching Rambo 3 in bite-sized Twitter nuggets. Attending is easy, just watch my Twitter stream during the event. Participation is optional.

WHEN: Tuesday, August 26th @ 9PM PST
WHERE: http://twitter.com/rickrey

From my Facebook Event page:

While watching Rambo 2 (First Blood: Part II) the other night I thought to myself - wow, there is so much great Twitter material here. Unfortunately I was too involved with the gripping plot to turn away and grab my laptop.


So on Tuesday night, August 26th I'm going to live Twitter my experience watching Rambo 3 for what I believe is the first time. This is a landmark Twitter experiment and I may lose many followers - a risk I'm willing to take.

If following the action isn't enough, you can simultaneously Twitter your own Rambo 3 experience at exactly 9:00PM PST. I'm pretty sure it's in stock at every Blockbuster worldwide.

Sign up to "attend" this live Twittervent on Facebook or Upcoming.org. If you want to participate, give me a heads up.

Just watched Rambo 3 on my computer. The movie was engrossing from the start. I was amazed at how Sly looked so different from the Hollywood monarch he is on red carpets and such. So withdrawn, but so much personal power in that character. The smallest one liners were some of the most powerful. I was impressed when he stared at and then gave shade to one of the badass soldiers who came out with him on the mission. Later, when Rambo came back and saved the entire team from an army of soldiers, the same ass asks "who ARE you?" Like a little B--CH. THAT was impressive. The movie kept me till the very end. I'm inspired to write more books and shoot great movies because of this one. F' the critics!
