That must have been an error, it took me to his collection of scratch paper remnants. He says "Art is about the asking of questions." My question is, "What the hell were you doing in art school, sleeping?"
Great point. A statue of an actor posing is just that. I'd ask these people if they'd put a statue of an American soldier up there, but there answer would be "On second thought, the Rocky thing is just fine."
Now that IS ART!
I have some really cool glass stuff that is very expensive... But it took skill and thought to make. Some people hate it, but some people love it.. I happen to love it... For a piece of metal to move people to put their arms over their heads in a Victory stance... just that makes it ART. ...
(((Rocky is a helluva good movie.
The rest of them, except for V (which I saw in French), are entertaining...but not great films.
And I totally agree tha I freakin' can't wait to see Rocky VI!
By the way, seen the trailer? It will make you want to go out and do some chin ups. Awesome.
There is even a classic scene where the champion is verbally sparring with the presumably ancient Balboa, seeking his comeback. The champ (obviously much younger than Rock) says something like, "When were you big? In the 80s?"
Rock replies in that great deadpan voice, "Actually, it was more like the '70's"
I love it and can't wait.
As for the statue, it should stay.)))
ROFL! Yes, it makes me want to go out and do chin ups, and I'm a 50 year old female! :-D Also an original Rocky fan. I was in my early twenties when the movie came out. Am not a boxing fan...but the film simply mesmerized me.
Bye, dickhe@d!
