Now all we need is Apollo Creed to come back from the grave and everything will be allright.

Love that music. Interesting that it'll be called Rocky Balboa as opposed to Rocky VI. Also, Rocky is back in the ring, as opposed to training a n00b, as they said he would. Anyway, I'm glad an old-timer can still reprise his most famous role. Harrison Ford, I hope you're taking notes.

One was enough. lol

samIamsad · 01-06-2006, 05:19 PM

Everybody who has seen Copland knows that Sly can actually.... act!

There was also news about a new Rambo movie?!

Maquisard · 01-06-2006, 05:22 PM

Please no!?

It doesn't help that he has Bell's palsy.

Kolzig · 01-06-2006, 11:10 PM

Yeah a new Rambo's on it's way also, but first we'll have Philadelphia's own homeboy Rocky make a comeback.

So we can surely say that Mr. Stallone is filled with *new* ideas to stir up his career.

samIamsad · 01-01-2007, 02:09 PM

Hmmmmm, doesn't look all too bad at all! http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/rocky_balboa/

Kolzig · 01-01-2007, 02:16 PM

Heheh, I kind of hoped that it would be good.

And I just found out yesterday that Rocky Balboa movie is coming to Finland after all this Friday! I'm hoping it will come to Vaasa also, then I can go check it with my dad.

I know--a dark- secluded place--a place--where no one knows your face--a glass--of wine--a fast embrace--it's called--Hernando's Hideaway. Ole!

samIamsad · 02-11-2007, 05:16 AM

There is at least one person on the interweb who is mightily pissed and confused.

Jatsie · 02-11-2007, 05:29 AM

Hehe, that's funny. That guy must have done a lot of research!

samIamsad · 02-11-2007, 05:50 AM

Indeed.

There's also been a VERY good interview with Sly in the Sueddeutsche Zeitung, for those of you who are familiar with German. Cool guy, really.

http://www.sueddeutsche.de/kultur/artikel/807/98709/

Quote:

SZ: In the sequels to "Rambo" and "Rocky" you lambasted Viatnamesians, Afghans and Russians like no other. Let's be honest, weren't these movies kinda...

Stallone: Asinine?

SZ: Yep.

Stallone: Don't be so shy!

SZ: That means?

Stallone: Those movies weren't asinine. They were super asinine.

Quote:

Stallone: When Reagan was holding a "Rambo" poster and said: "Us Americans have to handle the issues here in Libya like this guy!" I was sitting in front of the TV and thought: holy shit.

When then asked about this upcoming "Rambo" movie...

Quote:

SZ: You're indeed going to make a final "Rambo" movie, right?

Stallone: Right. I have to.

SZ: You have to?

Stallone: I owe it to the studio to make another one... but they are gonna be surprised.

SZ: Why?

Stallone: Because John Rambo will be sitting around as an embittered, old atheist, he hates the World, America, himself and most of all: God. Religion is gonna take a big part in this, and what harm it can do.

Interesting.

Kolzig · 02-11-2007, 07:21 AM

That Rambo part is excellent!

I can't wait to see that movie.

Though I still haven't seen the new Rocky, I missed it at the movie theaters...

samIamsad · 02-11-2007, 10:21 AM

Quote:

SZ: If somebody had told me in 1987 that in 2007 Schwarzenegger would be governor of California, and would be lobbying for environmentally sound cars, and that at the same time I would be talking with you about love and honesty and such, I would have passed out.

Stallone: You see, it's never over until it's over.

Just such a great read.

samIamsad · 05-21-2007, 12:29 AM

Trailer stuff. Pretty brutal, actually.

Kolzig · 05-21-2007, 09:17 AM

Yeah, John Rambo is back.

Stallone is kicking up with the R-rated stuff, this ain't going to be no PG-13 movie.

samIamsad · 05-21-2007, 11:29 AM

Well, what he said about the movie in the interview above made me curious, but the last minute or so of that trailer makes it look like your typical Stallone/Schwarzenegger/Chuck Norris (

) 80s action flick. Explosions, bare breasts (only men of course) and one-liners ("Killing is as easy as breathing."). We'll see.

Not A Speck Of Cereal · 05-21-2007, 08:30 PM

Am I the only one that had enough of this with Rocky 1 (and never watched a Rambo)?

RLacey · 05-22-2007, 12:44 PM

I've never seen any of the Rocky or Rambo films.

In a bid to educate myself, I've ordered a boxset of Rocky 1-5 for £12.59. Given that the 2-disc release of Rocky on its own costs about £10, that seemed like a good deal to me...
