Yo Adrian....Where Are My Bifocals?

Hollywood seems to keep finding ways to stretch the realm of reality razor-thin without much thought, but I think they've finally gone over the edge. It seems that another Rocky Movie has been greenlit for production, that's right for those who are still counting "Rocky 6", which Sylvester Stallone has been trying to get made for years looks like it has finally got some studio backing. Looking at the realities of it all, it seems to be paddling against the current.

1. Sylvester Stallone is 59 years old. Apparently the plot involves Rocky coming back and fighting a series of "low profile" fights... How are they gonna make that fly? In real life boxers are washed up at 35, and start biting off their opponents ears in an attempt to keep one foot out of the end of their career. At 59??? They will have to get Rocky to be hoisted into the ring with some kind of crane and instead of his patented USA themed Shorts he will have to wear Depends.

2. Rocky the original was a success, but after that things have gone WAY downhill. There is a reason many people try to forget Rocky 5...it STUNK worse than the elephant cages dropped into the skunk habitat at the zoo.

3. Stallone seems to be grasping at straws trying to find a way to revive his celebrity status. He's been replaced by younger actors vying for his action star status. Even Vin Diesel and his "Red Baby" experience of a movie is a bigger star these days than Mr. StillOLD.

All this is not that surprising. The lack of good Hollywood scripts lately makes even crap on toast seem plausible. Look for "Rocky 6 - The Search For More Money" to disgrace a theater near you soon...
