A Rocky Interruption
Here's the trailer for the upcoming sixth entry in the Rocky series, Rocky Balboa:

Am I happy that Stallone is putting on the gloves again as the iconic underdog? Yes and no. Yes because I grew up watching the Rocky films and I love them dearly and, like old friends you haven't seen for a while, I love the characters that populate the films (though, admittedly, most of them have gone from the series, leaving only Rocky, Paulie and Apollo's old trainer Duke - I believe even Adrian has died in this new film - the only characters that were in the original). No, because really, when is enough truly enough? Hasn't every storyline and drama been played out that can be played with these characters?
Still, I'll be there at the cinema cheering the old Italian Stallion one more time - how can I not?
