Bonus Rocky 50th Anniversary Fact of the Day: Mighty Mick's
The vast majority of the Philadelphia portion of the Rocky shoot was done very quickly-- mornings, around dawn, night time, as few takes as possible, no sets to build. They mostly filmed in genuine locations.
One of Mighty Mick's Gym on Front St. in Kensington had to be created from scratch, put in place by crew and then disassembled.
Keep in mind: There was never a real-life gym at the location. The interior was Main St. Gym in Los Angeles.

Very old picture of my son. He would finish with a book. And throw it down. He doesn’t anymore. But it was cute then.

This may be one of the best explanations of male depression that I’ve ever heard. This is explains why guys are suicidal and their friends, parents, and/or wives don’t even know it. This is also why a man can be married with kids, great job, etc. & feel lonely & depressed.Community noteThis is an interview with @shaistaub who has not been credited for it. x.com/shaistaub/stat…

Rocky 50th Anniversary
I've posted this before, but it's more timely right now. Before Sylvester Stallone wrote the first draft of the Rocky screenplay, he did a painting called Finding Rocky. It's a battered, weary fighter against a dark cityscape.
Found a video that talks the painting: youtube.com/watch?v=R5h3g4…

Rocky came out in November 1976 and was the highest grossing moving of the year. Then won the Oscar for Best Picture and went on to be the 2nd highest grossing film of 1977 behind Star Wars. All because a guy wouldn't give up on his dream. Written in 3 days and filmed in 28 on a $1 million budget for comparison Annie Hall had $4 million.
I saw @iplayrockymovie and I am still thinking about Anthony Ippolito's performance. I would have to go back to Sling Blade where an actor transformed themselves so completely, so perfectly. There are scenes where it truly felt like I watching Stallone circa 1976 in an outtake ing. There wasn't one vocal inflection or subtle movement that was off. This guy STUDIED this role, the character, and nailed it. Love the Production Design and Set Dec details right down to the glassware that EVERYONE had in their homes at that time. The locations, sets and exactitude of everything from Rocky was off the charts. They did for Rocky what I got to do with the Enterprise and did a phenomenal job. Easily the best film of the year in my book. We all need a feel good flick. Go see it and make sure to stay through the end credits. My best compliment to Anthony Ippolito was that it took me 20 seconds of that final end credit bit to realize it wasn't him. He was THAT good.

Sylvester Stallone explains why TV beats movies in every way
"The truth is I really embraced it, because myself and Arnold were at the beginning and maybe the end of the real action genre, before it became Marvel world"
"I’ve been cloaked in more of an outdoor, physical look ulsa King you’re completely covered. You don’t have muscles. You don’t have explosions. You don’t have this cast of thousands"
"I don’t know if I could do this at 35 years old. There’s a worldliness...If I never did another film again, I wouldn’t be remorseful"
