Rocky Rocky Rocky!
More observations to come. It takes a lot out of me - posts like this one. It just takes a lot of time - because ... well, I'm insane, obviously, and I have to gear up for it. And take notes. And formulate my thoughts.
But I've got more to discuss.
Next up?
The scene on the steps in front of Rocky's apartment when he's trying to get Adrian to come inside.
I could probably write a Tolstoy-length book about that one minute of film. I know it's nuts ... but there's just so much going on there!! Watch how he hangs on the broken screen door ... And the script ... "Why you think?" Perfect.
Getting ahead of myself.
Maybe tomorrow. I have to go take a run. Do some writing. Meet up with Flynn. Have some dinner. Rocky can wait. (gulp. I think he can anyway ...)

Hahaha. I can totally hear you now. "I'm sorry, my dear friend, Soandso. I'm afraid I'm going to have to cancel our plans for this evening due to the dire emergency that has arisen requiring I watch Rocky for the 79th time this week."

Sheila, I thought of your "Rocky" obsession last night when I was going through an old stack of magazines and there was December 2006 of "Philadelphia" magazine--Sylvester Stallone on the cover: "Admit It: You Still Love Rocky--Stallone on the life (and death?) of the greatest Philly character ever." If you can't get your pretty little hands on a copy let me know if you'd like mine! :)

Exactly. I try, on a daily basis, to keep my priorities straight but it's hard!!
