Rocky spinoff announced

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Are we talking about the same Michael B. Jordan who was just in the FF movie? Cause he was pretty lackluster to me. Well, to be honest, they all were, but he was no better than anyone else in it. Hope he's better as a boxer than as Storm....

[Leo656]

He strikes me as the type who would be good in some things, but not especially that thing. As such, he'll likely do better in this thing.

Frankly, I just want a whole movie of Stallone doing the Rocky "gimmick". F*ck any boxing scenes, I just wanna see him walk around and "Be Rocky", saying all that ridiculous sh*t he says, for two solid hours. "Y'know, like, da t'ing is, yoo no, Mick, see he taught me lotta 'bout fightin', but see he also taught me lotta 'bout buildin' birdhouses. An da t'ing 'bout buildin' birdhouses, is like, yoo gotta remember that yoo ain't buildin' this puhticular house for yuhself, yoo know? Like, yoo gotta re-membuh, like, it ain't about what yoo like, it's about what duh birds like, and that most probably ain't gonna be duh same kinda thing, y'see whut I'm sayin'? Yoo almost kinda gotta like t'ink like a bird, y'know, a little bit sometimes. Also, yoo gotta remember not ta do like I did and hang it up inna garage, else you'se ain't gonna get a lotta dem birds. See I foun' dat out da hard way, but now I'm tellin' you so's you don't make the same mistake. An' also, one other t'ing is, if you don' like birds, you's can get one'a dem little teeny dogs, or like a ferret or a muskrat, y'know? Stick a ferret inna birdhouse. They don' know. Mickey taught me lotsa' tings."

I'd just die.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

OMG!!

ROFLMAO, that was hilarious! I actually heard Stallone's voice while reading that, and I gotta tell ya, you do a GREAT Rocky! Also, now I want to hear YOU doing his voice, just 'cause. But yeah, that would be a seriously funny movie.

I actually feel like that's what Rocky Balboa was. Very little boxing-related activity until the end, most of it has to do with his relationships with his son and Paulie, saying stuff like that.

[MikeandRaph87]

Leo, why not have Sly go to a convention and go into Rocky mode not far from how Hamill often goes Joker at conventions? I also agree with Skeletonkey. There was that akward relationship with the girl he told not to smoke 30 years before too.

It is surprising that Duke will not show up in the film. He would be Adonis' step-grandfather after all.If only to present rbe iconic trunks and give the seal of approval before tbe fight in Apollo's place.

Heh, that about sums it up for me too.

Eat Snails? Why would you wanna do that?
Condominiums? Consequently, I never use em.

[Dr. Terminus]

I don't think Rocky has misstepped when it comes to execution of each film. People have their gripes with certain movies in the Rocky franchise, sure, but when you're telling a story spanning 40 years and several decades, doesn't hitting the mark more often than missing it count for something? It looks like the perfect completion of the Rocky story.

[Leo656]

You definitely do wanna hear my Rocky. I do wicked impressions and he's one of my better ones. I think I'll get around do sticking one on Facebook one'a these days, at which point I'll share it here.

I f*cking LOVE Rocky. Those movies are religion in THIS f*cking house. F*ck, one time like TBS or some sh*t did a Christmas Day Rocky Marathon when I was like 12 or 13, sh*t had me doing push-ups outside in the snow. I worship the Italian Stallion the way Jesuits worship Christ.

It's like that.

Do you have the channel ION? they do rocky marathons ALL THE TIME

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Only for the past month, and only on the weekends. I know, we've been subjected to them for the past THREE WEEKS!!!

[Leo656]

Yup yup, we been watching those too. Although I have the box set so it's kinda whatever, but I do usually put Rocky on whenever it's on over other things.

It is completely, physically, scientifically impossible, to hear that drum machine blast in, that bass line, the kick of that synthesizer, and Robert Tepper's voice go "We're not indestruuuuuuuct-abuuuuuul...." and NOT suddenly want to lift weights and hit things. You MUST stop whatever else you're doing to lift weights and hit things. I love it. Watch me be the first and only guy to have "No Easy Way Out" played at his funeral. I'll do it, I swear I will!

[MikeandRaph87]

I put together the Ultimate Rocky playlist using songs from all movies and few that should have been and play it on my andriod when I work out which about 3 to 4 hours a week.

Leo, Darth Vadar is my best impression. Maybe one day Rocky Balboa and Darth Vadar can hold a conversation. That would be fun.

What would be funnier than No Easy Way Out would be The Final Countdown which is a Rockesque song in my book.

[Leo656]

MY faaaaaavorite bit, that leaves my wife in tears, is Rocky and Paulie having a loud drunken argument. I can do both voices spot-on, and can switch on a dime, so it comes out pretty neat. I should seriously record this. My wife always bugs me to do it but it's kind of a spontaneous thing.

[MikeandRaph87]

The start of Rocky 3 after Paulie is freed by Rocky from jail?Maybe you could recite the deleted scene from Rocky Balboa when Paulie breaks down over missing Adrian after getting laid off from the meat packing plant.

I can do a near perfect Darth Vadar and Vito Carleone. If you ever go to the Heroes Con we could make some interesting dialog recordings.

Admit it, you would probably ask to go out to Jimi Hendrix just like any NwO faithful.

[Guitar_Raph]

Hokey smokes! I thought this was about the Rocky who fought Boris & Natasha with Bullwinkle!

[Leo656]

It's kinda like that, MikeandRaph, except they're both also cursing at each other and occasionally using various Italian ethnic slurs. It's one'a those bits that kills at the holiday gatherings when everybody's all half-drunk and goofy.

I also randomly throw in Mickey yelling "YOU DUMB DAGO!" from the first movie. Ohhhh myyyy gaaaaahhhhhhhd that was amazing. That sh*t kills me every single time. He really threw all of himself into that line, I swear. Terrific. Terrific.

Mickey and Rocky arguing is like, the most aggressive bit I do. I don't always do that one around the kids. It's just plain filthy, but it gets laughs. They die at the end where Mickey's all, "Talk t'me like that again you dumb sonuvabitch an' I'll be crappin' thunder on yer f*ckin' tombstone!" Sometimes I barely get it out. But hooo boy. I tell ya, man. I tell ya.

[XERO]

Admit it. You only like Rocky because of Thunderlips. lololol

[Leo656]

That is precisely why I first watched it when I was 6 or whatever, yes. It's pretty incidental to the fact I immediately went back to the store and rented the other 4 movies, because holy sh*t Rocky is amazing, especially when you're 6 and you believe a man can single-handedly beat up an entire country, symbolically, as long as there's enough bass and drums during the montage.

I have friends who have never seen Rocky and refuse to ever watch it, because "they hate boxing and boxing movies." Makes ME wanna smack THEM around, I swear. I'm like "It's not even abooooouuuut that, really," but it's like talking to a wall to anyone who hasn't already given it a chance. They're usually the kind of people who, their entire lives would change for the better immediately JUST after they took that one step, so that gets annoying.

[XERO]

I still need to get the collection. I'm tired of this Netflix "We'll show them all for 2 months and then take them back off, but no sixth movie at all" crap.

[Leo656]

I'unno who Netflix is, but they sound like a coupl'a bastids.

I swear I seen the box set for like $20. People should just get the Rocky set in the mail when the phone book comes. I mean who the f*ck even looks at it anymore, right? Nobody! You could be giving people something they might actually make use of.
