From wiki on Rocky 6:

The script for Rocky Balboa has the over-the-hill Balboa taking on the reigning heavyweight boxing champ Mason "The Line" Dixon. Both men are trying to restore their dignity: Dixon because he's reviled by fight fans for taking on unproven opponents; Rocky because its been years since the aging boxer from South Philly has climbed into a ring.

Yikes. I miss the cold war russian.

Given that Larry Holmes, George Foreman, and Evander Holyfield are all currently attempting "comebacks" and 2 of those 3 are at least 55 years old, this story doesn't seem nearly as far-fetched as it should...

Suggestions to the screenwriters and producers of Rocky VI to make me go see it...

During his flight to his comeback bout, someone (perhaps Klubber "I Ain't Gettin' On No Plane" Lang) releases venomous snakes among the passengers.

Have Rocky open up a Foxy Boxing league with his star pupils being Jessica Alba and Jessica Biel.

Have George Romero direct it and bring Apollo Creed and Rocky's old trainer, Mickey, back from the dead (as well as various other run-of-the-mill undead) to go on a brain-eating rampage. Have Rocky fighting the undead along with his pals, Survivor. At the climax of the film Rocky and Apollo should have one last bout, with Rocky clearly conflicted about re-killing his old friend. Instead, at the end of the film we should see Apollo chained up in Rocky's shed playing Mike Tyson's Punch-Out! with Rocky, ala "Shaun of the Dead". Note: Speaking of Mike Tyson, at some point during the film, Mike Tyson should have a cameo where he bites off Evander Holyfield's entire face--not because he's undead, but because he's f*cking crazy.

Have Hilary Swank convince Rocky to back in the ring. Adrian goes insane when she finds out that he's going to fight again and ends up beating Hlary to death with her "Million Dollar Baby" Oscar. Ahhh sweet irony.

Those are my suggestions. Anyone else have any ideas?

Wow G Fresh - you just created a Rocky 6 that I would go see, and that's saying something (since I still refuse to believe Rocky 5 ever happened - why would you make a Rocky movie in which he never enters a ring? Never happened. Period.). But enough with my Rocky related hang-ups, on to other films.

Last night I plunked down $6.50 to see The Night Listener with Robin Williams. I want my $6.50 back. Then I want my 90 minutes back. Then I've gotta talk to someone and see if they can recover my soul. I think that in a last ditch survival attempt, my soul freed itself from my body at about the 15th utterly predictable "plot twist".

Nothing I love better than a movie with no discernable plot resolution. It's like the director ran out of film and said, "Alright, CUT! Let them figure it out for themselves."

Robin Williams is good, delivers one of his best dramatic performances, but he's got to make better script choices than this.

PUTRID.
