Rocky VI!

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Rocky VI!

Post by spiderfrommars » Tue Nov 29, 2005 11:09 am

I've got to admit I have a soft spot for the old films.

Number 6 is on its way...

It'll be cool to see a Rocky movie at the theaters - but I don't think it'll be good :oops:
Can't believe I'm still here.

heheh... i too have a soft spot for the old films, i too think that this new one won't be very good (as, if i'm being brutally honest most of the originals weren't very good either!) ;)

Exactly. :)

Though you can't really fault the fight scenes much in II, III and IV.

Remember Airplane 2? It's set in the future, and there's a movie poster on a wall in a scene, with 'Rocky XIII' and a reaaaallly old Stallone on it... :D

(I couldn't find a photo of that anywhere on the web... )

We may get to see Rocky XIII... just 7 more to go!

Heheh, makes me chuckle whenever i see it...

Here's the full cap
Image

and here's a tidied view of it.


Image

there's some writting underneath it, judging from the full cap, but all i could make out from the angle was "The" something...

on a side note, there's also a Wierd Al Yakonvic song "Theme to Rocky XXXVIII" :D

Thanks for the pic!

Yes, it's the "Rye or the kasier" :D

(sung to the theme of 'Eye of the tiger' of course....
Fat and weak, what a disgrace.
Guess the champ got too lazy.
Ain't gonna fly now, he's just takin' up space.
Sold his gloves, threw his eggs down the drain.

But he's no bum, he works down the street.
He bought the neighborhood deli.
Back on his feet, now he's choppin' up meat.
Come inside, maybe you'll hear him say:

Try the rye or the kaiser,
They're on special tonight.
If you want, you can have an appetizer.
You might like our salami, and the liver's all right.
And they'd really go well with the rye,
Or the kaiser.

Never eats while on the job.
He heard it's good to stay hungry.
But he makes a pretty mean shish kabob.
Have a taste, they were made fresh today.

Try the rye or the kaiser or the wheat or the white.
Maybe I can suggest an appetizer.
Stay away from the tuna, it smells funny tonight.
But you just can't go wrong with the rye,
Or the kaiser.

So today, his deli comes first.
Still he dreams of his past days of glory.
Goes in the back and beats up on the liverwurst,
All the while you can still hear him say:

It's the rye or the kaiser, it's the thrill of one bite.
Let me please be your catering advisor.
If you want substitutions, I won't put up a fight.
You can have your roast beef on the rye,
Or the kaiser.

The rye or the kaiser,
The rye or the kaiser,
The rye or the kaiser...
