Yo Adrian!
'Rocky 6'? Stallone signs on for another round
New film will feature a retired Balboa coming out of retirement
LOS ANGELES - Sylvester Stallone is signing on to reprise his role as boxer Rocky Balboa in the sixth installment of the long-running film series, which he wrote and will direct.
This might be the only time words written from MSNBC might actually make a woman orgasm.
My wife is a "Rocky" freak. She's got all of the movies on tape. She knows all the music by heart. She knows the films forwards and backwards. She will stop what she's doing, no matter what time of day or night, if she sees any one of the "Rocky" movies on T.V., regardless of the afore mentioned fact that she's got them all on tape.
In the new installment, Rocky, lonely and retired in Philadelphia, comes out of retirement, intending to fight a few low-profile local fights. He's approached to fight a match with reigning heavyweight champ Mason "The Line" Dixon, and soon his comeback ignites a media firestorm.
Stallone received Academy Award nominations for starring in and writing "Rocky", and the 1976 MGM film won an Oscar for best picture, best director (John G. Avildsen) and best editing (Richard Halsey, Scott Conrad). The movie grossed $117.3 million at the domestic boxoffice, making Stallone a film star and creating one of cinema's most famous characters.
It also launched one of the most successful film series of all time.
Me? I think they should've stopped with the first one. I know I'll burn for that statement, but I guess I was never one for capitalism. ¶ 8:40 PM
