"Yo, Adrian, we did it!"

Took myself to the movies tonite and saw "Rocky Balboa."  And it was EXcellent!  I have very vague memories of seeing Rocky I-III ages ago when the local networks would air them as their space-filler, Saturday afternoon movie, but I've never bothered to watch any of them properly, since I have the basic gist of it all.  And that's all I needed to get pumped and thrilled and happy and amused during this latest (and last??) boxing adventure by Sylvestor Stallone.
