The Italian Sexagenarian


At nearly 60 years old, Sylvester Stallone plans to return to boxing in Rocky VI (presumably after Rambo IV is completed).

In the new installment, Rocky, lonely and retired in Philadelphia, comes out of retirement, intending to fight a few low-profile local fights. He's approached to fight a match with reigning heavyweight champ Mason "The Line" Dixon, and soon his comeback ignites a media firestorm.

" 'Rocky Balboa' is about everybody who feels they want to participate in the race of life, rather than be a bystander," Stallone said in a statement. "You're never too old to climb a mountain, if that's your desire."

Yes you are. Rocky was 30 years ago, and sixty is too old. Big George Foreman was able to do it at 45, but that was pushing it. The bigger question is how will Rocky be received at the box office? My guess is that he'll be TKO'd.

If it's done right, I think it'll make some money, though if anyone think this will be bigger than the first one then, I've got a bridge to sell them in New York. If you look at the Batman movies and the James Bond movies, they've kept up pretty well, but they changed the formula, tweaked it a bit, but still kept it basically the same.
