I think the thing I like most about it is that in most other movies like this, Stallone would still be the introduction slash narrator and the focus of the trailer would be Him finding this guy and training him.
But instead he's a really small part and not even in it until the last third. Creed is the main character and the audience's eyes as well.

Rocky is so fucking good ugh god damn it the end is so good, shit.
I remember my friends and I watched all of them in a row to prepare for balboa, and the one thing that I had forgotten is that his mob boss is such a nice guy. Like you expect this dude to turn heel at some point for betting or whatever but he's genuinely supportive and just like, this friendly mob boss.
I now want several versions of Election and Rushmore so you can have any combination of Reese Witherspoon/Jason Schwartzmann and Matthew Broderick/Bill Murray
Yup! It was telegraphed just a bit too much by their talk earlier I think, but still a satisfying conclusion.

i feel like if i had seen it anywhere other than a plane i would've been standing up
Whiplash is one of the only movies I've seen that actually captures that playing music beats the hell out of you, physically

5 is a bullshit movie that doesn't exist.
4 has a robot in it that is a birthday present and partially represents Rocky letting himself get soft.

You can follow it up with Rocky II, Rocky III, Rocky VI, & Rocky Balboa.
But you need to watch the first Rocky.
It is arguably the quintessential American film.
I'm probably going to mix myself a drink and do so tonight.
Uh wait
do you think fireball would make a good Old Fashioned?

not really, but just give it a different name like 'el cajone' and you're good to go
Probably not?
I'd just drink the Fireball straight or mixed with some soda?
I watched it earlier today on Netflix.
I thought it was very good!
And, as is recognized as a universal truth, Michael Shannon is TERRIFYING in it.
stallone is in it
(yes I'm just Youtubing scenes of the various inspirational moments from Rocky Balboa, shut up)
It was really good.
But I had a glass of jameson and am a lil' drunk.
unless he is driving a car
on to the next one!
But it's almost bed time!
Tomorrow I will watch through to 4 in one go probably.
You know who I think kinda gets underrated a lot?
Matthew Broderick
Not even counting Ferris Bueller, dude's still got like 5 other classic movie roles
plus being on 30 Rock and Louie
oh man Mr G have you not seen it yet
you are in for a fucking treat
This movie is basically a cast of 6 Andy Daly characters
Everyone's so dumb and chipper about super dark stuff
at least, from a teacher's perspective
that finale

me and my PE credit for marching band are finally vindicated. thank you, whiplash
Yeah, as someone who has only dabbled a bit in drumming, that shit is exhausting
Never mind what it takes to actually become good at it
Oh yeah.
Rigging a high school election so you can avoid working with a super annoying student is easily the most accurate "teacher-thing" ever put to film.
AKA That Bitch is CRAZY
AKA Marriage? Ahahaha Nope!
