Just watched Rocky Balboa

[biteme]

A little disappointing. Not a believable story at all and Stallone looks old as hell. He's still in shape, but his muscles look weird and his skin is very leathery. Maybe too much GH.. I hope I look better at 60 and surely some bodybuilders do.. Maybe at that age, it will be just pride and the joy of being in shape keeping us in the gym.

The best part of the movie was when he was visiting Adrian's grave. That shit got to me.

Here's my new rendition of the Rocky theme song:

"Getting old now, you're so old now. do do do do"

lol...you're such a fuck up.

lol...you're such a fuck up.

And I'm taking 6 months off work so I can be more of a fuck up right here at EF.

I don't think that's possible.

I'm a school teacher and there is a young student in my class called Adrienne. The temptation to shout "ADRIENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNE" across the class to get her attention is unreal!!!

i thought it was pretty good. i mean i severely broke my ankle playing semi-pro football and if someone dared me enough id play again even though all the docs said heck no. its a pride thing and sometimes i just want to throw the pads back on.

I agree that many aspects of the movie were silly but the message wasn't - "It doesn't matter how many times you get knocked down. That's just life and this happens to everyone. What DOES matter is how many times you get back up."

I think that for a 60 y/o Stallone looks amazing. Leathery skin? HELLO! The man has been wearing it for sixty years! It is baffling to me how *intolerant* our society has become of aging. Shit do you think I enjoy THE FACT that I will never be what I was even 4 years ago? But considering the alternative I would have to say I am fairly cool with it.

That's true about the message. I liked the part when he said to his son, "This world is mean and cruel and will beat you down to your knees and if you don't get up, you'll stay there."

[jerkbox]

too many face lifts and too much growth horomone...

it might have been slightly better than Rocky 5.....that's about it.

Maybe too much gh - growth hormone (somatropin) - .. I hope I look better at 60 and surely some bodybuilders do.. Maybe at that age, it will be just pride and the joy of being in shape keeping us in the gym.

I liked it as an inspiration to us older guys that still like to hit the gym and go sparring with the 20 somethings.

The cemetery scene almost... almost.... brought a tear to my eye. That would be me if I lost my wife... living alone on memories and going to the grave site to talk to her.

Do it. Your popularity among the students (assuming they've seen Rocky) will increase if your timing is right. Well, everyone except maybe her. Or who knows, she might even like it after the initial embarrassment.

Yes, you're right. I laso like how he told his son not to spend the rest of his life blaming other people for his situation "Its his fault, its her fault". That is very true. The amount of permanent "victims" I know who in truth haven't got a clue how good they actually have it is unreal.
