How dare you!?


Do you dislike all underdog stories?

That's just a horrible opinion. Even by your standards.

Dunno, I like lots of things. Even (The) Rocky (Horror Picture Show)

Rock shrimp. Punk Rock. I even liked Rock Mamola.

Coming from a man who loves Frank's Red Hot Sauce above all others, THAT hurts. :lol:

Bad Acting. D List actors. Laughable lowest common denominator scripts. Even worse "plots". Unbelievable "action" scenes.

Shall I continue? :wink:

It's a feel good movie. I'm generally a guy that roots for the underdog or the villain so it worked for me. You're the first person that I know of that doesn't like ANY of the Rocky movies.

No offense sir,but you must be some commie bastard! How can you not love Rocky? Stallone is not Rocky. He is a pretty sharp guy,don't let that voice fool you!
Burgess Meredith a D lister? bullshit!
Who could have played "Clubber Lang" more convincing than "T"?
Go check Stallone out in Copland.

Continue making yourself look foolish?.....no need.
As much as the 1st Rocky had a great script that included him NOT winning the fight (which would have seemed phoney) and won the Best Picture and Best director awards, while gathering 10 academy award nominations (winning 3). If you had kept your negative comments to one or even a few of the movies in the series, it might have had a bit of credibility. But to lump them all together eliminates that possibility. The action (fight) scenes you find unbelieveable are the only thing that I think improved after the initial Rocky. The fight scenes were better, while the story lines and the direction (Stallone directed the sequels except for Rocky Balboa) were not as good. Still, all the movies had at least some moments that were outstanding and that kept audiences coming back for more.

What can I say. It tastes like hot sauce made by people who don't know what flavor is.

It's the hot sauce version of Skyline "chili".

What's a good hot sauce? Frank's is really close to Anchor Bar's, I think.

JORR is right too.

Funny. I've never actually heard anyone who's actually had Anchor Bar stuff say it was any good.

FWIW, Crystal, Louisiana Hot Sauce and even Tabasco are far better imo.

For basic hot sauce I like Texas Pete. For something with more flavor, nothing beats the sriracha from Huy Fong (with the rooster on the bottle).
