Hey Craig,
Didn't know who you were until I clicked on the dotcom just moments ago. Sifting through all of the comments have me more than confident that the Sly Staff (like that?) have picked the right man for the job... the blog is simple, but gets the job done and the pictures... well, words can't describe. This freshest pic of Sly as Rocky really captures the essence, the epitome of what Rocky is all about. A fighter, a guy who wears plain sweats and does just that - sweats - working hard for his living. I wonder what Rocky is thinking in this scene. Hm. I would guess that it's something along the lines of "Eye of the Tiger. I still got it. Eye of the Tiger."
Sly, Happy 60th birthday!
Wishing you all the success you deserve,
Tony Cellura

Oh God. I am so excited and I want to know everything now! I thought I would be the only one interested in the movie, but I was wiling to be the only one there before, I love him and all the movies so much. I even have my little boy just as excited as I am. I have his picture on my desk at work. I watch Rocky 1-99 everytime they come on TV. My family is sick of me. People cannot believe what a nut I am over Rocky, but they better believe because its real. Oh God. I can't wait. I want my ticket today!

The long countdown begins! December? I was getting excited over the preview. This is big!

Sly:

I believe in the film idea about an aging Rocky teaching the youth boxing; but not "safe sex". The idea of "save sex for marriage" is best.

I hope it will be a big success; like Rocky I. So, all I can say is "GO FOR IT'!
