Off to See Rocky VI


I find it amusing that movies have decided that the umpteenth sequel is a negative and so remove the numbers off the title. The old style marketing was to have Rocky IV, with a sub-title. Now it is apparently passe to have numbers after a movie.

It is still Rocky VI to me.

Reminds me of calling a garbage man a sanitation engineer, either way he still picks up garbage and isn't that demeaning to engineers?

  1. Please let us know how it is. I've seen previews and Stallone looks like a withered old man. Who wants to see an old man getting his ass beat? Plus I think it's funny that he picked Antonio Tarver, a super-middleweight, to box against. Appollo Creed was a heavyweight, Mr. T was a heavyweight, Dolph Lundgren was a heavyweight, even Tommy Morrison(as pathetic as he was)was a heavyweight. Why the shift to a boxing class that is some 20 lbs.+ less than heavyweight? To make Stallone look bigger and more intimidating than his ancient ass would otherwise look??
