Philly's Changed, Rocky... Everybody Loves Will Smith Now, Not You

If you were combing through our Top News Stories you surely saw no. 19, about a little-known actor by the name of Sylvester Stallone getting ready to revive a little-known movie franchise we like to call Rocky. This time it's Rocky VI, in which the old champ is living out his retirement in Philadelphia and decides to go for one... last... bout! It's a million-to-one shot? Will he make it? Will there be a training montage? Will he punch huge slabs of beef in a meat locker? Well, probably. This blogger is not enthused: "The bigger question is how will Rocky be received at the box office? My guess is that he'll be TKO'd" Zing! Or is that ding! (Y'know, like in a boxing match. Never mind.) Check out Mad Dog for some even more incisive commentary on the new Rocky movie, along with plenty more rhetorical questions. And when you're through, consider the possibilities of this Stallone project, which we stumbled on while researching this post. Aawwwwl right!
