It's not the best animation, but the second season was pretty drat good. It captures the soul crushing part of reality better than other animated sitcoms.

Hey guys? Creed is good. It's really, really good. I was in tears. Ryan Coogler, Michael B. Jordan and Tessa Thompson are going places. And Stallone's clearly been there.

Thank you for your post, but I think I try It.

Netflix is wrong, I actually like Lucha Underground a lot. At least in part because it harkens back to the WWF in the 80s when everybody had a ridiculous in-ring persona. The WCW vs WWF era was great but I quickly lost interest after WCW folded, and all that was left was a WWE inhabited by assembly line Mr. Badass McBadass clones. The fast Lucha Libre style is way more fun than just watching a couple of 280 pound guys slowly beat at each other too. I'm only up to about episode 20 so far. It took me about 3 episode of hearing Cages intro music to realize that he was saying "I'm a machine" and not "I'm gonna shiiiiiiit!"

The best part of watching Lucha Underground on Netflix is being able to turn on Spanish Commentary with subtitles so you never, ever have to hear Matt Striker talk.

I thought the movie was fine, but my jaw dropped during the single take scene during his first professional fight in the middle of the movie. That's one of the most well crafted pieces of cinema I've ever seen, and I thought the final fight couldn't compare to it!

For me the best moment in Creed is when the fighters enter the arena for the final fight. I was like, drat, this is this guy's second film?

Like the fact that creed isn't seen as a modern classic is actually a shame to me. It's so rare these days to actually be able to see that there is an actual film maker behind the camera and not studio executives. Like you could feel the passion. Not to mention the music is great.

I think CREED will get there, if not that, then it's pretty much a lock to be a cult classic at the very least. It's just too good of a movie to not get recognized down the road.

I have no idea why it turned out like it did, but bringing back the series with Balboa and Creed ended up being phenomenal. They're both really well-made movies that are anything but the cash in you would expect.

My only slam on Creed was when Adonis moved into Rocky's house and into Pauly's old room, there was no cameo of Pauly's robot (like old and cobwebbed in the closet or something). Also, that sign for 'bullshit' is not the actual ASL sign for BULLSHIT. But I digress. It was a great loving movie. I also liked the stylistic bits they did with contenders, giving that little freeze frame with their name/nickname/stats

I think one of the greatest things about Creed is that even though Rocky is in it far, far more than you'd expect, it never once feels like the spotlight is on him -- it's Donnie's story through and through, and that sense never wavers.

Yeah everything with Rocky feels so organic to what's happening, but shows exactly how Donny is as a human. Creed is so good.

Yeah, Rocky's story kind of ended in Balboa, and his role in the movie is perfect for the kind of person he ended that movie as, but at no point is it a movie about rocky. It makes it both a continuation and something totally new at the same time. That's hard to pull off.

Rocky is Stallone's most personal project, its the one he carried around for years and refused to sell unless someone would let him star in it. It turned him into a near homeless guy to a Hollywood superstar. It's not surprising that he would return to the role years later and be very serious about doing it justice.

It's funny -- Kensington is on its way up, and it's not going to be too long before it's all gentrified. Creed will be like a time capsule.

If you can watch Balboa or Creed without, uh, getting something in your eye, something is probably wrong with you. E: Apparently, the more negative reviews of Rocky when it came out focused on how unrealistic it was, which is hilarious, considering it was based on an actual fight that Stallone spent his last hundred bucks to watch on CCTV. Ugly In The Morning fucked around with this message at 02:05 on Jun 3, 2017 |

It's unrealistic in the sense that the fight would likely have ended in the second or third round because nobody takes that many punches to the face and lives, and actual boxing is more defensive and so on, but actual boxing isn't quite as fun to watch. Movie boxing is allowed to cut out the slower bits.

Movie boxing is allowed to cut out the slower bits. Wepner vs Ali begs to disagree. It was the fight that inspired the movie. I mean, yeah, he sucked at keeping his hands up, and didn't get tenderized quite as bad as it was in the movie, but Wepner got the poo poo kicked out of him on the reg and kept going, and was the first person to put Ali on the canvas (mostly accidentally). Wepner was kind of a weird case. I boxed for ten years, and was an infighter like Rocky, but I would not have eaten that many shots to the face and kept going. It was pretty good about him doing shots to the body and whatnot. Even if the actual fighting wasn't realistic, it kept the feel of being on the losing end intact for people who haven't been there.

I was too hasty dissing the new season of F is for Family. I mean, the animation is still horrible, but it's still also a really great show with the right mix of totally obscene funny and brutalizingly depressing.

I'm not a deadhead in the slightest but Long Strange Trip is a really fascinating documentary. It doesn't fall into the usual traps. It doesn't try to cover everything and it jumps around in its approach but it covers how this thing became important to so many people and the cost that had to be paid.

Future Shock: The Story of 2000 A.D. is on Amazon Prime. It's decently interesting if you're into that, lots of interviews with people like Grant Morrison, Neil Gaiman, and those fellas. I was going to post this in the Dredd thread in BSS, but it seems to have slipped into the archives.
