A bit of commotion on Twitter on Monday when Sylvester Stallone began thinking out loud (always a bad idea, in his case) and floated the idea of making a new Rocky movie, only this time having the protagonist as an MMA fighter instead of a boxer. “Adrian! I didn’t tap!” Here’s the brain electricity on the right, as our next Academy Award winner is born. Or, maybe not. Moments later, Sly tweeted that he was just kidding … about the Rocky part, anyway.
Sly tweets:
I am only joking about the new Rocky . Never happen. I owe my life to that noble little character and would never diminish that for $$$$
Um, then how exactly do you explain Rocky V?
Yet a great MMA film should be done at once … Love must be the central theme like my buddy Rocky experienced. Pleasure/pain= LIFE
It wasn’t MMA exactly, but I thought that Red Belt was pretty good. Anyway, things took their course, and pretty soon people evidently began asking for a new Rambo. Sly replies:
I am afraid The way John Rambo feels about the world,if disturb again, the pain he would rain down on the enemy would be UNIMAGINABLE..
I left before things got around to Rhinestone.
And now, my favorite Rocky joke:
Mickey: “You’re a bum!”
Rocky: “I ain’t no bum.”
Mickey: “You’re a bum!”
Rocky: “I ain’t no bum.”
Mickey: “You’re a bum!”
Rocky: “I ain’t no bum.”
Mickey: “And you’re socially maladjusted!”
Rocky: (Long pause) … “I ain’t no bum.”
