image What are some great examples of actors playing against type? Sylvester Stallone in Cop land. Now most people associate Sylvester Stallone with muscled heroic fight movies with next-to-no proper acting around. But that is plainly wrong. You see, Sylvester Stallone was engaged in a number of “real” movies, in which he showed he can act — but even more: in which he showed he can also write. Does anyone realize that he was nominated for the Academy Award for best actor and best screenplay for Rocky, in 1976 ? And that he was also nominated for the Academy Award for best supporting actor for Creed, in 2015 ? “BUT” — I hear you say — “isn’t the Rocky-franchise a bunch of dumb boxing movies in which the main character works on his muscles, and wins for Adrian in the end, while fighting giant cold war Russians and the like ?” Yes, but only starting with Rocky III. The first two Rocky movies are really good movies about a poor guy who works in a slaughterhouse while struggling with life, and who is a medium-talented boxer without much steroid muscles. (The soundtrack, which was written by Bill Conti, is also great.) “BUT” — I hear you say — “isn’t Stallone the one of the terrible Rambo-movies, in which the main characters are muscles, guns and blood ?” Yes, but only starting with Rambo II. The first Rambo (First Blood, 1982) is a truly fantastic thriller about a Vietnam veteran who looks for his old ‘Nam friends (who all appear to be dead in the end), and gets confronted with the local law (Brian Dennehy) because he looks like a bum. It all goes wrong from there. That movie is a brilliant masterpiece of suspense, directed by Ted Kotcheff, co-written by Stallone, and foreseen by a stunning soundtrack written by Jerry Goldsmith. By the time Cop land came (in 1997), Stallone was completely identified with Rambo and Rocky by the world, so it came as a big surprise that he gave a solid acting performance as the local town sherif Freddy Heflin. Freddy is an unhappy frustrated overweight loser, who once dreamed of becoming an officer but couldn’t because he is deaf in one ear. It is a very different Stallone most of us are used to see ! Oh, and did I mention that Stallone directed and co-wrote Staying alive (1983), a dance movie starring JohnTravolta and Cynthia Rhodes, and sequel to the famous cultfilm Saturday Night fever ? (I did now.) In short, there is one famous credo in the realm of modern-day Hollywood … Never underestimate Sly Stallone.

🎉 **Nostr Renoter v1.0.0 is now available!** Introducing a fully functional onion-routing system for Nostr events. Renoter enables metadata privacy and anonymous routing through nested encryption, allowing events to travel through Renoter nodes without exposing sender or destination information to relay operators. **Key Features:** • Nested onion-routing encryption using NIP-44 • Proof-of-work protection (difficulty 16) against spam • Standardized message sizes (32KB) to prevent metadata leakage • Replay attack protection • Multi-relay support for redundancy • Ephemeral events (kinds 29000/29001) that don't clutter relay storage **How it works:** Clients wrap events with nested encryption layers (one per Renoter in the path). Each Renoter decrypts one layer and forwards to the next node or final destination. Only the next Renoter is visible at each hop, providing true onion-routing privacy. **Get started:** 📦 Binaries available for Linux, macOS, and Windows 🐳 Docker images ready for production deployment 📖 Full documentation: 📋 NIP proposal: Download: #nostr #privacy #onionrouting #encryption
