    after all, 3 comes after 2.

    Play it to the bone was hilarious and cool.
    Rocky 3 was hilarious because it was corny as hell.
    are you a reporter or something? talk about taking a statement out of context. you quote half a sentence and then tell me it doesnt make sense. most sentences cut it half can be a little confusing. I believe I said you can't critique Rocky 3 THEN go on to say Play it to the Bone was "hilarious and cool"

    Hilarious and Cool????? "My **** wants to laugh" - Sam. L

      My favorites are:

      1 Raging Bull- Deniro gives a superb performance

      2 Ali- most realistic boxing scenes of any fight movie

      3 Digstown- what a concept, a boxer fights 8 fights in one day. didn't George Foreman do that!

      4 Rocky IV- had to pic one Rocky movie although I hate the fight scenes

      5 On the waterfront- "I could've been a contender!"

              Kind of not connected to the thread but Million Dollar Baby is the tie in:

              Anybody read F.X. Toole's "Rope Burns"? There are some stories in there (other then Million Dollar Baby) that might be fun if put onto the big screen (although MBD did tie alot of them together...) I personally think the one about the old cut-man would be fun... Any thoughts?


              PS- Pretty good collection of fictional boxing stuff if you have not read it.

                You read Toole's book. Karma on your way.
                he is a great writer. Too bad that he was maimed

                  Hahaha, much thanks to you! It really is a shame about O'Toole, he showed some real promise as a writer- the best part was he seemed to have a genuine love for the sport and a knowledge and creativity to go with it.

                      Did you see her doing squats? That would be excellent.
