At the risk of sounding like a total dork...

I woke up sometime in the middle of the night and even though the bedroom door was closed I could hear the TV from the living room and the music at the end of the first Rocky film was playing. I thought about getting up and joining M to watch it, because I have such a hard-on for that movie, but instead I shifted into a more comfortable position and lay in the dark, straining my ears to catch the string instruments as they swelled to a crescendo. Stallone was getting thumped I think, because I heard a couple loud whacks, and then he was panting and shouting, "Adrian."

I didn't hear Adrian respond at first, but then really faint, her soft voice rang out, "Rocky."

They went back and forth like that for a few minutes, "Adrian." "Rocky." "Adrian." "Rocky." until I could tell they were finally in each others arms, and even though I've seen that moment a million times, hearing it again got me all excited, and I got really impatient for the new movie to come out. I'm still a little skeptical after the debacle that was Rocky V, but I'm holding out hope that one of my favorite film franchises won't disappoint me again.

Why did I just share all this? Because good movies are really important, dammit!

Well, if you have to watch any of the Rocky movies, the first one's the one. :) Actuallly, I'm a sucker for it too. I like the montage: the running, the punching of the beef, the upthrust fists on the steps of the courthouse. Yes, yes, stuffed full of cliches, but it works. Pure guts.

LV is nigh--more when I get back. Enjoy your reading, and let us hear all about it.

Yeah, Mike and I watched the first one last Saturday, it was available for free on our On-Demand cable thingie. I think it's the music that gets me more than anything else, that score is just so damn uplifting when it hits the high points...and of course, who doesn't love the punching of the beef? :)

Enjoy LV, I expect to hear a full report when you get back! I'll do the same on my reading if anything noteworthy happens.
