For free. No really, I thought this was worth mentioning because most of Sly’s fanbase out there in America is probably in the closet, and there’s no bettah time for any of us. Not that I’m really in the closet. I was one of the one’s who were out first, with Rocky pictures on my wall (specifically the one where Hulk Hogan is in boots with 3 inch heels staring down at midget size Stallone, who is not doing the Dorf thing (on his knees) but in fact really is just that short. Or so I’ve heard.
I bought the damn magazine that Stallone has recently been writing, all by himself (his byline is on all the articles, reviews and commentary) because, in installments, he was including in its pages the script to the new Rocky movie. Thats right tough guy, back in the day when its working title was Rocky 6, not Flower Balboa or whatever it is now. And I’ve been watching a lot of old Ali fights on Espn classic (the ocho) and I hope that Stallone doesn’t get any memory loss from all the punches he’s taken.
One of my old favorite songs is by Cornershop titled Lessons Learned From Rocky One to Rocky Three, and I know those lessons all too well. To take a line from the last ER episode of 2006, specifically the bible study part… nevermind, I forgot what the line is, but basically the lesson is that you don’t take your fame, isolate yourself in a mansion on a diet consisting only of KFC buckets, and still brag to tough guys about being the most fit Champion dude. Its bad business my friends. Thats the lesson.
Now, with that old coon George Lucas finished up completing his six chapter space opera, finally, just in time for the holidays (Dec. 20), Sly Stallone, auteur and editor-at-large for Sly magazine, finally delivers the sixth chapter in his duo trio platter. The Flowering of Balboa. Until then, the heads up is that five clips packages and indeed the entire five movies leading up to the final film will hopefully be is on demand! My aunt and grandma yelled three times for me to turn it off today, but they can’t be right. Its comcastic!
