60 of 149 · most liked firstHoly shit! GODZILLA MINUS ONE takes the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. Huge upset! A ~$12 million movie that no one saw coming. One of the rare movies where the director is one of the people on the VFX team as well. "The moment we were nominated we felt like Rocky Balboa." #Oscars

neutral · AI labelView post →Amid the shitty gold portraits of Trump, Musk, Reagan, and others in the Reach part of the Kennedy Center, there's also this. It's a quote from Rocky in the movie Rocky Balboa, with a deformed image of him. That's how pathetic that wall of terrible "art" is.

neutral · AI labelView post →I watched the movie Creed since it was on the plane and it honestly got me a little emotional. Rocky's an all-timer movie for me and it's interesting how ridiculously silly it became to its detriment, but Rocky Balboa and Creed really feel like they capture what was good about Rocky

neutral · AI labelView post →I was watching Rocky Balboa a while ago and randomly one line delivered to the much older Stallone stuck with me - on your body, muscle's the last to go. In the movie, he's being told to rely on strength and muscle endurance. But for us, the last thing to go for a state is its ability to harm.
neutral · AI labelView post →"The mental fortitude to keep going would be unreal." Exactly. Which is why my best advice for a creative career comes from the film Rocky Balboa.
neutral · AI labelView post →#DEATHBATTLE Daniel LaRusso VS Rocky Balboa ( #KarateKid & #CobraKai vs #Rocky ) These 2 are the best underdogs around coming from some of the greatest movie series to ever hit the big screen! Both would also become coaches in a sequel series where they would train the kid of their greatest rivals.

Stallone suggested we’d see “Adrian at 15, Rocky at 17, Paulie, moving to a new neighbourhood, Rocky’s a bad boy.” > The…

Played Ernie Pyle, the devil and a guy who loved reading in THE TWILIGHT ZONE, trained Rocky Balboa, gave Perseus some advice. If he was in your movie it was guaranteed at least one good thing.

neutral · AI labelView post →Over the last week, Ben and I have watched all the Rocky movies, watching Creed now. Rocky Balboa is one of my favourite characters in all of fiction. I could easily watch a whole movie of just his day-to-day life running his restaurant.

This wonderful movie is, at once, inspirational and disenchanting, heartbreakingly heartwarming, with equal doses of comedy and tragedy. Good medicine! #GrahamGreene
neutral · AI labelView post →I remember when Stallone did the Rocky Balboa movie in 2006, and people said 60 was too old to *act* as a boxer.
neutral · AI labelView post →Enduring movie characters have graced the screen for decades (James Bond, Indiana Jones,Rocky Balboa). As Freeline Media critic @mikeymcfilms.bsky.social notes, one fascinating character has been the focus of brilliant films; he’s a real dude from history! freelinemediaorlando.com/mike-at-the-...
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatching Rocky Balboa (2006). The best *Rocky* film since 1 and 3 for sure. This has it all, the drama, incredible acting, gorgeous music and a great story. Truly as great as American cinema can be, really the most quintessential example, too. Starring Sylvester Stallone and directed by him!! 🥊

neutral · AI labelView post →yesterday I found these 2 unusual Rocky bootlegs at the antique shop. They both say 'Rocky V', but the 5th rocky movie came out in 2006 as 'Rocky Balboa' - 21 years after the 4th film! And they use a younger Stallone on their covers!! any Rocky experts want to weigh in? 🧐
neutral · AI labelView post →Rocky Balboa (2006) is a super underrated meditation on aging. My father had just retired when this movie came out, and had a hard time with it. Balboa resonated, and has an important message: No one tells you when you're done but you. 💯 #FilmSky
positive · AI labelView post →My friends introduced me to all of the Rocky movies in one fell swoop, some 25 years ago (pre-Rocky Balboa). And although I enjoyed them all to varying extents and further enjoy debating their relative merits, one thing was clear: Rocky III is the awesomest Rocky movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Yes I realize Rocky Balboa is dead, but they could do whatever they want it’s just a movie not real life.
neutral · AI labelView post →Unusual and perhaps precedented for a sports movie, the hero athlete's signature "play" is to cheat. Roy Hobbs with a corked bat. Rocky Balboa intentionally punching Apollo Creed in the balls in rounds 5, 7, 10, and 15.

neutral · AI labelView post →There are three GREAT Rocky films (Rocky, Creed, and Rocky Balboa), one Very Very Good Rocky film (Creed III), a bunch of fine but inconsequential ones (Rocky II, Rocky III, and Creed II), the interesting but later-copied-and-improved Rocky V, and then whatever the fuck Rocky IV is.
neutral · AI labelView post →My favorite review of Rocky IV was "And somehow Rocky Balboa has mastered artificial intelligence and advanced robotics, which sounds like a much more interesting movie."
neutral · AI labelView post →V was interesting because I didn't it was as bad as its reputation but it jumped out that Stallone it made too young, it's supposed to be a old man's regrets film, which it is when he made it as Rocky Balboa.
