Rocky gets a new movie



No not that meathead Stallone. Thank God that shit is over.

Raquel Welch is starring in a new TV movie called "House of Versace: The Untold Story of Genius, Murder and Survival." It will co-star noted hose bag Gina Gershon who will play Donatella Versace the overly tanned big lipped Italian whore who lives off of her brothers name.

It's funny that when the cruise ship lines first started docking in Red Hook Brooklyn, Donatella was one of the first to arrive on a ship and took a cab to Sal's pizzeria to taste real Brooklyn Pizza. She was not impressed. Nor were the old ladies who sat on the bench outside the hair salon next door to the pizzeria. They cursed each other out in Italian. I happened to be passing by that day on my way to the pork store and I had to laugh. It was hilarious.

Now if it was Rocky getting pizza that would have been a whole different story.

Those old ladies curse every outsider. What's an outsider? Anyone living more than ten blocks away. Okay, twenty blocks.

Living upstairs.

I see The Searchers was on TCM today. I hadn't noticed it or I'd have set the DVR.

The Dude said...

I watched part of it - meh. John Ford is overrated.

Cody Jarrett said...

Oh boy.

The Dude said...

I know, right!

Trooper York said...

Gentlemen please.

I will not rise to the bait.

You have to consider the source of the criticism.

If Sixty were to critique various vintages of Mountain Dew or the best year for Redman tobaccy well then I would pay close and strict attention. But his reviews of the genius that was John Ford do not worry me in the slightest.

Cody Jarrett said...

John Ford used to use the Duke to break in his pipes, back when Duke was a fresh faced Hollywood noob.


Ford liked the idea of sucking pipe where Duke's lips had been before.

The Dude said...

LOL - you saw right through me, Troopski - you know I kid.

But as with trees, landscape has to at least pretend to be honest.

As for Mountain Dew, I had one back in '66, haven't had one since. That stuff is toxic.

Mountain Dew and Malibu is a tasty, tasty treat for rednecks and regular folks, too.

As long as Stallone lives, another Rocky picture is possible. Actually, even if he dies, they may reboot it.

As for Racqui, I'm glad she's getting work. I'll probably just watch Fathom again, though.

Cody Jarrett said...

Just watched the 5 minute trailer for "The Crazy Ones". Looks like it has some potential. Robin Williams slightly toned down but still nuts, Sarah Michelle Gellar--always a fave...could be funny.

Of course, it could suck dirty dead dog dick too. It is on CBS after all.

windbag said...

Is there a Robin Williams movie that doesn't center around an inane rant by him?

The Dude said...

Yes, Seize The Day.

Cody Jarrett said...

I don't remember an inane rant in Dead Poet's Society.

Then again, I'm not sure what Robin Williams' movies have to do with a new TV show either.

Apparently it's not my week.

So I am reading Anna Karenina last night and came across this quoted poem:

“Himmlisch ist's wenn ich bezwungen Meine irdische Begier;
Aber doch wenn's nich gelungen
Hatt' ich auch recht huebsch Plaisir!"

Thank goodness for Bing - otherwise I would be at the mercy of E. P. Raylan for translating such things. Heaven only knows what results he might provide!

windbag said...

Is that a t.v. series? Didn't know. Seems odd for a guy who escaped television and made it on the big screen to return to television.

Cody Jarrett said...

Sorry. Figured saying it was on CBS would be a tell.

Cody Jarrett said...

What is that, something about having good pleasure and mastering desires?

Sounds pretty freakin' dirty to me.

windbag said...

Skimmed it and missed that.

Cody Jarrett said...

I wonder if there's a hippie new age kid out there named "Ovary Fruit".

Methadras said...

Mmmm, Raquel Welch. Even today.

windbag said...

There's a headline over on Drudge. "REPORT: Amazon goes down." Doesn't mention the guy, though.

chickelit said...

Except for windbag, this has been a rather monochromatic thread.

The Dude said...

I see what you did there, E. P.
