RUSH: I\u2019m a little hoarse today. I\u2019m feeling great, feeling fine, no illness. I was up late last night consuming adult beverages, and for some reason — normally, not getting much sleep does not affect my voice, but — I\u2019m just a slight bit hoarse today. I had a big meeting yesterday afternoon, and when I finished that, I went home, and before I went out to the thing I had to do last night, I watched Sylvester Stallone\u2019s new movie, Rocky Balboa<\/a>. As a powerful, influential member of the media, I am shown these things in private in my own home theater. Before I put it into the machine and watch it, I said, “What else is there to tell in this story? There\u2019s been Rocky through Rocky V,” and I have to tell you, I was surprised. I was dumbfounded. It\u2019s a great movie. <\/line><\/a>I\u2019m not a movie critic and that probably is good. I just look at it as a normal consumer. It\u2019s going to appeal to all demographics; it\u2019s a great love story. There is a fabulous <\/emphasize>scene in this movie between Rocky and his son, and it\u2019s really poignant because the son really doesn\u2019t like Rocky because Rocky is so big. He lives in Philadelphia. Rocky is so huge that the kid can\u2019t get out from under his shadow, he doesn\u2019t think — and without giving away the plot too much, Rocky\u2019s kid begs him not to do something that would put him more and more in the spotlight again. <\/line>“Come on, dad. It\u2019s my turn. You had your turn. You\u2019ve gotta let me out of your shadow.”<\/line>Now, in today\u2019s age, the odds are good that a father would say, “Oh, oh! I don\u2019t want to hurt my son. Okay, son, well, I\u2019ll just slink away into the background, and I don\u2019t want to get in your way,” you know, how we\u2019re all touchy-feely like Barack Obama is portraying himself to be with his big ears. But Rocky — and this occurs on the street in the Philadelphia — Rocky just gives this kid an inspirational tongue lashing like you wouldn\u2019t believe. It surprised me, given the movie climate and the Hollywood climate and the whole cultural climate that we are in today. It looks like all the other Rocky movies. They haven\u2019t jazzed it up with a whole bunch of computer-generated bells and whistles and things like this. I was really surprised. What else can they tell in this story? But they have found something. Stallone wrote it, I guess, and directed it. It\u2019s really good. I was surprised. <\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
