"Million Dollar Baby" was hardly a boxing movie -- I mean, it kind of starts going that direction, then BOOM... the twist happens (if you've seen the movie you know what I'm talking about) and it becomes some kind of made-for-TV drama in a hospital room for the last hour or so.

The really only boxing movie that is comparable to the Rockys is "Raging Bull," which is also damned good.

How anyone who acutally saw Rocky Balboa and didn't like it, is beyond me. Defentilly was a great movie and the best Rocky since the first two. Personally the only movie I thought that was a better boxing movie then Rocky was probably Raging bull. But then again Rocky does have boxing but the good ones (1,2, and 6) were more about the characters then the boxing which is what made the movies good.

But anyway to try and stay on topic Stallone did good on Rocky Balboa so I'll give him a chance to do good on Rambo.

I was personally hoping for something more politically relevant in the here and now... like, send Rambo back to Afghanistan for payback (in Rambo III he kind of unwittingly helped the Taliban) or over to Iraq for cleanup duty. Still, after seeing this trailer I know I'll still love what we get.

So did Bond in "The Living Daylights"

Sensible man.

Though we differ in opinion on the quality of the various Rocky sequels (Part III and IV are, in my opinion, the best of the lot), you'd probably enjoy my take on the subject.

Oh, and Spitfire? I hope you don't mind that I used our conversation here as a sort of jumping-off point. I think I was pretty kind -- I think I called you a "poor chap" at one point, but that's the worst I came up with.

I find it funny I influenced you enough do even mention me. But make you make me sound like a huge troll. At least you didn't use my name.

I don't really mind though. I know when I'm being a jack ass.

Haha...It was all in the name of artistic license, my friend. You really weren't being that big a jack-ass, but you're right, it does make it a bit funnier.

I'm glad you don't mind.
