Karate Rocky, Rockette, Black Rocky, Hockey Rocky, Old Rocky, Dancin' Rocky, Football Rocky... those made me laugh along with the one on Ant-Man. Football Rocky is my dad's favorite film.
ReplyDeleteGlad to give you a laugh. I remember you telling me about your dad and his love for Rudy. That is so awesome!
DeleteHahaha...I'm literally still laughing whilst typing this, I think I got half way through reading your post before my brain even picked up on the Rocky theme. Love it!!
ReplyDelete- Allie
Thanks! I had a lot of fun with Rocky this go round.
DeleteI need to see Jean Claude Van Rocky again real soon. That movie is hysterical.
ReplyDeleteOh, and you cheated on that last one. One sentence? That looks like a 6th grade ESSAY.
It is hysterical, like most of his movies.
DeleteSad, but true.
The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer - Man runs afoul of the law, is punished by being forced to date Shirley Temple.
ReplyDeleteCitizen Kane - Sled forces man to make his wife an opera star.
ReplyDeleteAmazing. Never looked at it from that angle.
DeleteHahaha!! Most of these gave me a good laugh, especially Poltergeist :D
ReplyDeleteCool. That's what I'm here for.
DeleteI love these SO. MUCH. The Rocky runner is amazing, but the best one is Million Dollar Baby.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThese are so good! I laughed a lot at It Follows – A woman tries to rid herself of an STD without seeing a doctor. Its true those films are Rocky repackaged. It's like how most action films are Die Hard. I read a list of films in Empire once and they were so spot on too. I'll dig that out for this.
ReplyDeleteCool. I'd love to see that.
DeleteAhah, fun stuff Dell! That BVS one had me in stitches!! When I saw that 'Martha' bit in the movie I felt like throwing the spear right through BOTH of them!
ReplyDeleteThanks! So did I!
DeleteActually I think your summary of The Force Awakens is right on the mark.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it, though?
