Momma Said Knock You Out
I read about those eight women who just won the mega-million dollar lottery and I thought to myself, “Man. Some people have all the luck.”
Then I got home from work and opened up my mailbox to find that my Netflix had arrived a day earlier than expected. “Score!” I thought. “Season 2 of Weeds. Who needs a stupid bunch of millions?”
Just when I thought I couldn’t get any happier, I opened up one of the envelopes and an extra DVD slid out. It was Rocky Balboa! Someone at Netflix must have known it was my birthday, so they snuck me another free movie! How awesome is that? That wasn’t even in my queue. So awesome.
I haven’t watched the bonus movie yet, but it sounds so good:
Though long retired from boxing, Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) returns to the ring for one last hurrah in this drama featuring the iconic action star. Now widowed, Rocky’s settled into middle age running a deli. When he’s offered a shot at the title, he’ll have to go all out to prove he’s still got what it takes.
I sure hope Rocky wins.

You will like Rocky Balboa if you liked the first Rocky. It’s not all flashy like some of the Rocky movies were.

I haven’t seen it yet, but something tells me that he doesn’t lose. But it’ll be close. So close. And really inspiring and uplifting and junk.

strode: i loved the first rocky! after that, they got pretty bad. but seriously… isn’t he 60?
shari: i’ve got to get through weeds first!
sir: that’s exactly what i’m hoping for… i want to think he’s going to lose, but just at the end, have him come back and win.

That is a surprisingly good movie.
I don’t know if it’s worth MILLIONS – but it’s a good freebie.

Yup, there was more good in that movie than I expected. Happy Birthday, Miss Jennifer!

Happy birthday!
Rocky’s opponent will seem to be winning, but then Rocky will get mad and go all Italian on his ass in the midst of flying, slow-motion sweat droplets. Just you wait and see!
Go Rocky!

Happy birthday, Miss Jenny. And I have been afraid to watch that movie. What if he breaks a hip? I don’t want to encourage reckless behavior in the elderly. Except my Gran, because she’s funny.

Happy Birthday Jenny!

Happy Birthday! It so nice of you to get Sly stallone as your present. Just think how smart you’ll feel in comparison.

Is 60 middle-aged?
That might be the most inspiring thing to me about the movie. I thought *I* was middle-aged. I’m still young.

miss britt: well, i had to make myself feel better about not winning the lottery somehow.
don: hey – thanks! but it’s good? for serious? all right – looks like the people have spoken – i will watch rocky balboa!
roy: i love the slow-motion fist meets face scenes, where the faces get all smooshed.
tracy lynn: i’ll let you know if his lumbago gets the best of him.
robin: thank you! (it was actually tuesday, but netflix just remembered today.)
churlita: thanks! and that’s a good way to look at it. although it’s going to be depressing to watch a 60-year old dude with 2% body fat while i’m eating a bag of doritos.
delmer: apparently he’s planning on reaching 120. but you? you have your whole life ahead of you, young man!
