I would like to submit that yes, I will be there on opening night. There is no shame in watching one of the greatest stories ever put on film.
I will be cheering on Rocky Balboa, that chicken chasin, cow punchin, raw egg drinking, cross wearin, air jabbin, stair climbin, Apollo beatin, Clubber bashin, Ivan cleanin, Tommy manglin, and what appears to be hands raised in victory as people are chanting..."Rocky, Rocky, Rocky"...again...hell yes...I'm there my friends!
And you can bet the morning after I will not speak due to the fact that I have witnessed once again an incredible story of heart, strength, determination, guts, fortitude, stamina, and the will to win, not because of what others say, but because it lies within...the heart of a true champion, a man among men, an undergog that still has bite and fight.
Oh, laugh it up fellas, but you, if intellectually honest with yourselves, would admit to only dream of having what it takes to go the distance, to have crowds cheering your name, men, women, and children crying out and expressing their love and admiration, all the while getting knocked down, the life almost taken from you. Then, from the depths of your very being, you begin to fight back, claw your way to the top. NO! That's not you, nor is it me, it is but one man, the Italian Stallion, the eye of the tiger, ROCKYYYYYYYY BALBOAAAAAAA!
Now, if you would excuse me, I must go change my shorts and blow my nose.
I think you are right that Adrian's dead...if you watch the trailer again, you'll see Rocky kissing what looks like roses at a graveyard. It's quick, but I hope they killed her off instead of recasting her. Now that I've watched the trailer again, I kinda' want to see it. Maybe we could go together. Maybe grab some dinner first? And a milkshake w/ two straws? No?

I think Clay took that just a little too far........
Wait till he sees the trailer for Rambo 4. He'll blow a gasket!
Rambo 4? Really? Rock on!
Clay...
