Gonna Fly Now

So I spent a hell of a lot of time yesterday playing Rocky. It's so good, loved it from the moment Dan got it on his Xbox, way-hay back in the day. Finally my brother found it available on PS2 and I have a new career mode going as Mr T, I mean Clubber Lang. Honestly, it's so good, when I wasn't playing and was actually doing work, I was still doing my awesome Mr T impressions all day long.

This kinda links into an interesting story in the paper this week, listing movie sequels that were better than the original. Now I know nearly every single person on the internet lists their own opinions on this and fair enough, whatever they think. But I think that for a respected journalist to publicly state Kill Bill 2 (which I love) is better than Kill Bill 1 (which I love even more), is pushing the boat out a little too far. However, I do agree that both Shrek 2 and Toy Story 2 are better than their originals. Did you know Tom Hanks got paid $50,000 for Toy Story 1 and $5,000,000 for Toy Story 2? Yeah, really. And I'm kinda glad they're quitting whilst they're ahead, after reading plans for Toy Story 3 have been scrapped, unlike Rocky, with the 6th movie seemingly going ahead.

And after pretending to be Clubber Lang and watching Rocky III this week, he's the best opponent of the lot. That's the only thing missing from the other films, no Mr T. He's so cool, I think I'm gonna watch the A Team tonight. Bit more nostalgia, honestly I never watch any new TV programmes.

On the subject of sequels, if you've never heard Guns N Roses' cover of Live and Let Die, download it, it's one of the best cover songs ever.

And MJ, you were the worst, most unfunny, sluttiest roommate ever. Shame on you.
