Worth noting that on YouTube, "most viewed today" means "most viewed video that was uploaded today", not "which video was most viewed today".

G) After a long succession of theatrical bombs, Sylvester Stallone is running out of money.

I liked the first 2 Rocky movies. This one looks like it is along the same lines. I know I am talking to the crowd who thought China Syndrome was a great movie, but I find the movies inspiring.

It means people like to see a train wreck. They say "Wow, glad I'm not in it."

This ROCKY XVI trailer suggests that Arnold Schwarzenegger should revive his CONAN movies.
1. CONAN THE BARBARIAN
2. CONAN THE DESTROYER

to be followed with

3. CONAN THE MALE NURSE

Conan in middle age became the King of Aquilonia. Why should Schwarzenegger do a movie about being King of the sixth-largest economy in Hyperborean Earth when he is already King over the sixth-largest economy in the real Earth.

I would say that the chances that I'll go see this movie are approaching 100%.

So he can covertly make fun of the jackasses he has to deal with in real life... and make millions doing it, of course.

I recall a Simpsons episode where Bart finds he needs knowledge of Roman numerals to avoid opening a door with a tiger behind it. He saves himself by remembering that "Rocky II plus Rocky V = Rocky VII: Adrian's Revenge." Who knew that this gag would come so close to becoming prophecy?

Is this the one that ends with Rocky as the new leader of Cuba?
