On the other hand, I've wished for a more faithful adaptation of the book ever since I read it, with Rambo and Teasle both having their good and bad points so you're never quite sure who you should be rooting for, rather than an obvious hero and villain.

First Blood, comparatively speaking, fares better than the bastardization of Death Wish but still feels like its holding back. Rambo in the book is a villain who slaughters indiscriminately, mostly cops, and Sheriff Teasle is more sympathetic, finding commonality with Rambo. #RazorgirlReads

Misericords in Swinbrook church 15th century all associated with the Cotswold wool trade - the plant is a teasle, I think? #Woodensday #Misericords #Cotswolds #Swinbrook

Just a few more snippets from the wild garden area. Ladybird and bees on some Teasle. Knapweed popular with bees and hover flies. A lone Corncockle flower..

I think a lot of people who watch it don't catch that, but it's a crucial detail. Teasle was a guy with PTSD too and his way of coping was to control rather to disconnect like John does. Kind of the other side of the PTSD coin. And Trautman, who also has PTSD and is a bigger maniac than Rambo.

More from the secure dog field for #wildflowerhour, thistle, teasle, scarlet pimpernel, and that camomile family daisy, scentless mayweed is it? I can’t remember.

That’s gonna teach you not to discriminate against drifters minding their own business, Sheriff Teasle. #FirstBlood

Ain't it strange how the country that once rooted for Rocky is now all-in on Teasle?

Resonates? Taking up arms as a scrappy underdog - despite being a massive majority in some states - is among their deepest desires! Every one of them thinks they're John Rambo, even though most of them might make it to being Sherriff Teasle on the best of days.

One thing I didn’t expect, and that I’m not sure how to talk about, is that Teasle has the Shining from The Shining. Really! He gets glimpses and flashes, and it’s never explained. Maybe every novelist was more credulous back in 1972. Why does a Kentucky cop have the Shining from The Shining?

A male #lessergoldfinch feeds on non-native teasle in #santarosa #california. I like the pattern in his wing feathers. Taken November, 2024.

I wonder if Rambo and Teasle ever made nice once he finally re-entered the US.

When the Supreme Court justices watch First Blood, do they root for Sheriff Teasle to kill Rambo?

NEW: On First Blood, and the clash between Rambo and Sheriff Teasle as a clash between two right-wing visions of America. All reposts (and subscriptions) much appreciated.

First Blood (1982)
The increasingly destructive competition between Vietnam veteran John Rambo and small-town Sheriff Will Teasle is at essence a battle between two rival, right-wing visions of America.

JD Vance watches First Blood and roots for Sheriff Teasle
REPORTER: Why are troops stationed here at Union Station and at the National Mall instead of areas where crime is higher?

JD VANCE: Crime is actually extremely high here at Union Station. You have vagrants.

Planning a walk for tomorrow that would take me down a rural highway. Can't help but picture Brian Dennehy as Sheriff Will Teasle rolling up to ask me if I'm lost, boyo, and then then trying cut my hair down at the substation.

There is something about this that I really, really love. That kind of display of power as a macro that just a finger is an existential threat is too good, plus, it helps that Teasle draws really appealing hands 👀💛
