Rocky Balboa is back????
http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/rockybalboa.html
Like them or hate them, the Rocky series is gonna have another notch under the belt. I liked all of them... when I was 10. Now I hate the 5th one. The first is the best. The 2nd wasn't too bad either becasue Rocky finally won. In the 3rd, Mr T was pretty cool and Apollo becoming Rocky's friend was a nice twist. The Soviets vs. USA in part 4 was kinda cool until Rocky had to speak at the very end. "I seen some changin" Also, we can be thankful that they did write Apollo out of the series in #4 or we might have had "Rocky vs Apollo: Geriatric Boxing Round 3" to deal with as the 6th movie. Sly shame on you for casting your own son in the 5th movie who looked several years older than the kid who was watching you battle Dolph Lundgren for Intergalactic Whatever in part 4 when the story timeline has only advanced about 2 or 3months. "Hey, I go away to box the russians for a couple of months, and you done grown a foot and a half." If you can ever stomach parts 4 and 5 consecutively, you'll understand what I'm talking about here. The part where they brought Mickey back in a dream to inspire Rocky was atrocous also. Come on, you know, Mickey(still looking very old in this flashback) gave Rocky some VERY IMPORTANT trinket/necklace/CrackerJack Box prize that was never before seen in any of the series up to point until Rocky gave said trinket/necklace/CrackerJack Box to Tommy. Whatever happened to Tommy HIV, uh, I mean Tommy Gunn anyways?
Yeah, the flaws are easily visible, but I still feel the adrenaline every time I hear that theme song. I do like Rocky.

Oh my God, 'tis true!

I like the part where Rocky says "I don't want to embarress myself". Dude, you're 60. I mean, a 60 year old against a current heavyweight contender....
Hmmm...
GO ROCKY!!!
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive

I've never seen a fight with a standing 8 count for liver spots.

Wow! 30 years and the Rocky franchise continues! 
I do like his line in the trailer though, "...that's probably the 70's."
Anyway, look at who the Director, Writer, and one of the Producer's is???? It's Stallone so that's why it's being made.

Stallone was filiming last fall during one of the boxing matches I was watching.
for 59 at that time he looked good but as we all know, looking good and baking it up is not that easy.
He is obviously using his Grill from George.
LOL

So those baggy boxing trunks- they hide the "Depends"?
What happens out of the ring? - training camp on a cruise ship with a shuffleboard or a senior center with love interest?
Maybe Sly is on to something.
Not sure I want to see any love scenes in this one though...
