Vince,
It's always good to hear different perspectives and I enjoy the discussion. I think Mike clarified the issue as being fantasy vs. reality. With Rocky, we all know it's a toupee. Sly knows, movie lovers know and little Johnny knows. The PG rating clears it up for the younger kids receiving the "parental guidance". In 1978, at the beginning of the persona of Rocky, the mega underdog story was much more compelling. Of course they wouldn't have started out the story with Rocky fighting a 60 yr. old. This movie is similiar to Superman, Spiderman and Indiana Jones. All fantasy, all enjoyable, but just movies. Not lifetime lessons. Go Indiana Jones, go!
Best regards Vince and congrats on Jacob's great start to the year!

Eric:
Thank you for complimenting Jacob.
Later I am going to send you and Mike an e-mail on this Rocky Balboa topic. I feel very strongly that this movie is based on an irresponsible premise and decision made by a 60 year old man who is held in high esteem by young people, at this point I am talking about both Stallone and Rocky. I personally believe very strongly that this movie should not have been made. Basically as friends I would like to now carry the conversation on off this public forum if you and Mike are willing to.
