Taffy and Taffy's Husband and I were all together yesterday, and the subject of Rocky came up. (Don't ask how...I have no idea - it was some random stray thought that flew out of my head.) Anywho, I was talking about a particular scene from Rocky II (a film that was canon in the Latte Boy's South Jersey childhood home.) It's the scene where Ardian gives her blessing to Rocky to fight Apollo Creed. Anyway, they have the scene in all it's (cheesy) gloriousness on the Youtube. All I could think when watching the montage that comes after the famous "win" line is no wonder Slyverster Stallone needs sterods or growth hormones or whatever he was just detained for in an airport in Germany. It's a wonder the man can still walk!
And, finally, because I'm apparently in a 1977 kinda mood, here is, in my opinion, one of the best movie endings of all time. The music, the red white and blue, the overacting...It all comes together in a creshendo that, well, makes me tear up every time I see it. And yes, I'm serious. Maybe because it reminds me of time with my dad.
