As I was telling the buffest guy I know yesterday, I have not kept up with wrestling at all since catching Royal Rumble on a whim back in January, but today I read that the WWE will start broadcasting in HD in 2008 leading me to wonder if there isn't some kind of device I can install that will prevent Ric Flair's loose skin from displaying in a full 1080 lines of resolution.

So I have finally seen Rocky Balboa and I have to tell you, it's really good. Here is a film about being true to yourself and not letting anyone tell you that you're past your expiration date. As George Eliot said, "It's never too late to be what you might have been." Here, Rocky is like the opposite of Jake LaMotta from Raging Bull; rather than let his history cripple him, Rocky finds the courage to put all of his heart into today. The characters are richly drawn, the photography is deep and stark, and the film is filled with powerful, emotional speeches that ring like thunder. I recommend this film to anyone, but especially if you are looking for some motivation.
