Like 40% of the movie at this point has been footage from previous Rocky movies.

We ran out of archival footage, time for the montage to end.

That drive through the tunnel symbolizes Rocky wanting to have sex with Apollo. OK, bathroom time.

Pause on those Tumi bags, kids.

If you thought Rocky and Apollo's relationship seemed homo-erotic, you would love Bill Simmons's columns, which have 8 million jokes about this.

They might have made most of the production budget back on product placement.

A little too far. Go back to the end of Rocky's drivin' and rememberin' montage after Apollo's funeral.

Post by **brian** » Thu May 07, 2020 9:02 pm

Starting again at 10:05 or that too soon?

It's a short movie, we'll still wrap up a little after 10:50 if we push back to 10:10.

You East Coasters will be in bad shape when we do Jackie Brown. That's like 2.5 hours. We can probably do a 8:30 p.m. start for that one.

Rusty after draft and missing last week. Usually set the second half kickoff before getting up for bathroom and fridge run.

I got a bunch of suggestions to email you. I do like trying to set up some timing stuff, though.

Gives me time to post Connie Nielsen pics.

I'd pick Leslie over Bridgette.

Okay, so like 46 minutes? Got it.

Rass' wife has never seen this and didn't know what was gonna happening in the Creed-Drago fight and we all had to go through that with her.

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu May 07, 2020 9:08 pm

About a minute out...

Wait, so she has never seen a movie featuring foreshadowing before?

The blurb for the movie on Comcast says "the ring champ meets soviet with 2000-psi punch". Is that the best they could do to describe the movie?

Ouch. I wouldn't go that far.

Robot goes to "nagging wife" tone with "sex robot" voice.

They're about four months into the relationship.

rass · Post by **rass** » Thu May 07, 2020 9:10 pm

Hey guys!

Shit the bed in SWAMPCRASH. In retrospect ok’ing others to watch was good for the event but bad for me.

Should I have paused at some point?

Post by **brian** » Thu May 07, 2020 9:10 pm

The BMX bike in the bedroom to show what a spoiled little fuck this kid really is is a great touch.

Rocky is getting ready to leave now, talking to his kid in bed.

I guess if you're a Michelin engineer?

Isn't that supposed to happen in reverse?

So are we past the pause? I saw a tunnel while

Rocky lives a life of ridiculous opulence, but doesn't swing for a private plane and takes the commuter Aeroflot plane to Siberia?

There probably was not a better band to write this song than Survivor.

Past, just landed in Russia.

I admit having this song on my long run playlist while doing marathon training. It's a banger.

He's not making any money off the fight.

Lyrics telling us the shit that code Apollo killed. Warrior's code, bro.

So they filmed this in Wyoming for the record if you're wondering why it looks awesome.
