A helpful MUNI-station artiste in San Francisco ... [Sylvester Stallone]
A helpful MUNI-station artiste in San Francisco wanted to make sure there would be no confusion when it came to Sylvester Stallone's much-anticipated upcoming release: You'll be catching Rambo, the tale of a jungle mercenary eviscerating the Burmese with a machine gun and machete, not Rimbaud, the tale of a 19th century French gay poet whose life was already committed to film by a young Leonardo DiCaprio in Total Eclipse.

But it did, and I'm so glad to have been there.
