    Another special & grand part in a motion picture:::"Rocky IV." The end of the exhibition between Greed & Drago. Now this is pure Stallone. Creed has been pulverized as you'll remember. Just massacred. He barely makes it thru the round and is aided back to his corner by Rocky who is acting as his second and Tony Burton, his manager. Stallone wants to stop it, but, Creed will have none of it. He's intractable. "You don't stop this fight. No matter what. No...matter...what." is his final words as he eases back into the turnbuckle and awaits his final bell. Now it's here that Stallone links 1 to 4. It's not Rocky he connects with in his final seconds of life. Nor is it Tony Burton, his manager, his father figure. No. It's his wife, the same actress who played the role throughout the series. The same woman who admonished Creed for preferring hate mail to playing with his children and who sat in his dressing room at her wit's end as he goes thru pre game fight preparation (II), the staccato voice of Burton egging him on with ringing endorsements of his skill & popularity. She's been seated ringside and now she has risen. He searches her out, she's not crying, but, her eyes are glistening. He nods to her, then straightens and awaits his fate.

    This is Stallone.

    Dive from Clausen's pier is also a sad story imho. Haven't watched the movie but I've listened to the story quite a few times. Do i feel bored listening to it? no, there's a voice that I'll never get bored of listening to, and you know to whom that voice belongs

    the scene where he's talking at Jenny's grave site about their kid.............................man, that always chokes me up. But, in the grand scheme of things, Jenny. That selfish, no good


    I think Jacob's Ladder is pretty sad, overall. The scene where Culkin takes him up is pretty powerful.I need to see that movie again. "Watch your toes, Jake!"

    Roguey!!!!!!!!!!!!! Outstanding citation! It's a touching motion picture, but, have heard it's a little different than the book. I've not read the book, but, have seen the movie a half dozen times. It's a sad beginning and the it's done well and we see the two young kids beginning their love affair with great fade in's & out's of their special times. The actress is gorgeous and wholesome at the same time. Very quickly we're shown that time has passed and she is restless. He is stuck in his HS days still with the same friends. The accident happens and she leaves town. It's here where I don't like it. She is "unfaithful" and distressingly so. But, time goes on and she returns. There is a a scene toward the end where she climbs into bed with this fellow, who is partially paralyzed and it's quite emotional here.

    The absolute ending is a little smug of her and off-putting for me. But, Roguey, that beginning is terrific. I should read the book.

    Sports movies are about all that ever gets to me. Never balling, but I get watery eyes. The scene that comes to mind is in the movie Friday Night Lights where Tim Mcgraw puts his championship ring on his kids finger after the game. Everytime.

    I've seen this movie before but it popped up on the cable over the weekend "Lars and the Real Girl." It tells the story of this young man who buys and falls in love with one of those Love Dolls. Not the inflatable, but, the expensive kinds. (((Before I lost my ability to achieve a boner that was what I was going to purchase with my cut of the money we received after Girl's mother died. Unfortunately my tumescence has not survived her over 10 years later.... in' woman will bury us all.)))

    Anyway, this guy brings the Doll home and goes about making a life for the two of them in their small town. I know it sounds completely ludicrous, but, it works, and it is incredibly sad. "Bianca" is confined to a wheel chair and she is extremely beautiful. The town grows to love her and she is elected to the school board, I know, I know. SPOILER ALERT...at the end of the movie "Bianca" becomes extremely ill and is taken to the hospital where she dies.

    Ryan Gosling plays the young man and he does a terrific job. He is suffering from a mental delusion that has to do with his childhood.

    It's a fine film and should be viewed. One thing though,,,it's not a naughty movie where he tries to her. It's not about that so be forewarned.
