Of course most stuntmen are made of 0's and 1's these days, anyways. The only more blatant example of an attempt to cash in with a star who is too old would be if Stallone tried to make another Rocky movie... The next Rocky movie is currently filming

http://mets2005.myblogsite.com/blog/_archives/2005/10/29/1328853.htmlLate December: Repeatedly write out likely 25-man roster after dog-and-cat trade nets middle reliever, utility infielder or fifth outfielder.Early January: Sight of green field while channel-surfing leads to accidental viewing of 15 seconds of Horace Clarke Yankeeography. Shudder, take hot shower.Mid-January: Actual free-agent signing/big trade coincides with freak warm spell and weather above 55 degrees. Mets all over back pages and WFAN, crocuses briefly appear. Run around for a day in shorts and Met gear. Euphoria quickly quashed by disappearance of Mets news, death of crocuses, horrendous blizzard. ROFL - great stuff.
