On one hand, we’re one step closer to **Rocky VII: Adrian’s Revenge** (apparantly now revenge from beyond the grave…) but on the other hand…it will probably suck.

Maybe she dies from shame.

I don’t trust anybody, especially Sly Stallone, to have Rocky out there “just to compete.” That worked 30 years ago, I don’t think it’ll be enough of a premise for another movie now.

Speaking of which, you know who I blame for this movie? You guessed it: Frank Stallone!

Seriously… this is one movie idea that really would be better as a joke. A 60-plus-year-old Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones Sr. is better than this.

The Best Picture winner of 1977 was _Annie Hall_. Though presented the actual award in early 1977, the Oscar _Rocky_ won was for Best Picture of 1976.

He might be working alongside Paulie in a meat-packing plant.
