60 of 125 · 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

unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView post →Gemma looks like Rocky Balboa at the end of the movie.
unlabelledView 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

unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView 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.

unlabelledView post →To be clear: Rocky IV "the movie" did not end the Cold War. Rocky Balboa, the (obviously real) character ended the Cold War. Just him. No one else.

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.
unlabelledView post →Born 6th July 1949, actor/director Sylvester Stallone. He achieved his greatest critical and commercial success starting in 1976 with his iconic role as boxer Rocky Balboa in the first film of the successful Rocky franchise, which he also wrote. #SylvesterStallone
unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView post →#JulyMovieChallenge Day 6 - favorite Sylvester Stallone movie Rocky #filmsky #moviesky ...Rocky Balboa is a struggling Philadelphia boxer. When the heavyweight champion visits Philly, his managers set up an exhibition match that he is supposed to easily win...but someone forgot to tell Rocky..
unlabelledView post →Damn— R.I.P. Graham Greene…he had a tiny but pivotal pre~Dances With Wolves role in Powwow Highway—Philbert is the Rez’s Rocky Balboa. This wonderful movie is, at once, inspirational and disenchanting, heartbreakingly heartwarming, with equal doses of comedy and tragedy. Good medicine! #GrahamGreene
unlabelledView post →I remember when Stallone did the Rocky Balboa movie in 2006, and people said 60 was too old to *act* as a boxer.
unlabelledView 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!! 🥊

unlabelledView post →Folks, it's time to watch Anakin Skywalker as the most punchable character in film history, and I'm including all the bums Rocky Balboa pummeled at the start of ROCKY III.
unlabelledView post →Sometimes pausing a movie for a snack or bathroom break can be pretty funny. Ruffalo looks like Rocky Balboa after a fight.

unlabelledView post →Watching ROCKY BALBOA. This movie has so much heart, and it’s still surprising just how good it turned out, considering everyone wrote it off. Stallone is always at his best when he’s being underestimated.

unlabelledView 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? 🧐
unlabelledView 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
unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView post →Yes I realize Rocky Balboa is dead, but they could do whatever they want it’s just a movie not real life.
unlabelledView 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.

unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView 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."
unlabelledView 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.

Jordan in a Superman flick, Supes doesn't have to awkwardly disguise himself as a Black man, and we can marry those sweet, sweet Williams and Conti themes

unlabelledView post →It has some 80s™ gunk on it, but really it's a movie about a dad just trying to get his son out of a funk. Way sweeter and gentler than something like ROCKY BALBOA 20 years later featuring That Clip your friends first husband used to post on Facebook every year before she moved out of state.
unlabelledView post →New look at Anthony Ippolito as Sylvester Stallone and Stephan James as Carl Weathers in ‘I PLAY ROCKY’.

unlabelledView post →Comics is a MUCH smaller field than illustration, and success is MUCH more difficult. The best thing I tell people who want to work in comics comes from the film Rocky Balboa. "It's not about how hard you can hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward."
unlabelledView post →Movie: Rocky Balboa (Blu-ray) A movie once thought to be unbelievable due to Rocky's age. Then Jake Paul started fighting out of their prime boxers...😭 Still a great movie nonetheless and a great ending to the professional boxing career of Rocky Balboa. #filmsky
unlabelledView post →I liked how "Rocky Balboa" tapped into the best aspects of Rocky's character. It hits the nostalgia from the first film in the right way.
