If I could change, and youse could change

Stallone said the story has the aging, widowed Rocky initially refusing a chance to get back in the ring.

See? This makes us sad. Adrian was the man in these films. She was the one that held it all together, from her perfect portrayal of Philly in the first two, to her turn as Wonder Woman behind the scenes in the next two.

(We conveniently forget there was a fifth installment, mainly because there wasn't a likable person in the bunch).

So Adrian is dead and Rocky is going to come back and fight a guy names Mason "The Line" Dixon. Oof. We'll probably just watch the first four again, marathon-like on a rainy Sunday. The sixth one will certainly eat lightning and crap thunder. And so not how Mickey means.

Take me back, da-doe doe doe-doe. Wait. Da-do do do doooooooooo. There. Much better.
